The word in the version you created. For example, “here” sounds like “laugh” – it is important to be careful not to end up internalizing a phonetic version too much, and end up making mistakes in grammar (writing “hear” or an invented word instead of “here”). . Advantage: Apply phonetic concepts in studies, without necessarily fully understanding the phonetics of English. To make the most of it: Use creativity and your ears to develop a “Private Phonetic Alphabet”, where English vocabulary is written from the point of view of Brazilian Portuguese phonetics. Writing down how you particularly hear the new word helps you memorize how to pronounce it more quickly, and identify it when you hear it. 8 – STUDY THE INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET (AFI) Ideal Context: All levels, especially beginners.
Challenge: Understand and memorize the AFI symbols and sounds. Advantage: Quickly access the correct way to pronounce words. Study Listening in its rawest form: phonemes. To make the most of it: Note the Phone Number List parallels between the AFI and your “Private Phonetic Alphabet”, described in the previous item. 9 – JOIN AN ENGLISH THEATER GROUP (Language schools such as offer Theater as an extracurricular activity) Ideal Context: All levels, as long as the person really likes Theater and Literature (as Theater courses generally involve reading plays), and doesn't mind speaking in public. Challenge: Speaking English in public.
Advantage: Learning English in a dynamic and applied way. Memorize more easily all the English being used in the play, by repeating the lines. To make the most of it: Get fully involved and take it seriously, make an effort to memorize the text, rehearse, research English theater (for example, read a biographical book about Shakespeare). 10 – PRACTICE INTERACTIVE LISTENING GAMES Ideal Context: All levels, especially those who do not like carrying out traditional Listening activities. Challenge: Knowing how to select the best games, knowing when to move on to more difficult activities. Advantage: Learning more dynamically than traditional methods. Include daily English practice in your daily life that doesn't weigh you down: you can play 30 minutes a day and get results.
