(Avanzado 2) Tag this question

You are students, aren't you? And I'm your teacher, aren't I? And you want to improve your pronunciation, don't you? And now we've done some exercises about question tags, you can tell the difference between rising and falling, can't you?

Well, go to this page, read and listen about Giovanni's problem and see if you finally understand when and why to use which intonation.
Why don't you send in a comment to the blog telling your partners what it is that makes English a bit more difficult for you?
Was the listening difficult? It shouldn't have...
See you!

Hi everybody!!

It is the oral part what makes English more difficult for me. I can't speak "in Real Time". I mean that first I have to think of what I want to say and then choose the words to express that.
I think the oral part is the most difficult one to improve. For example, it it's easy to read english books or watch TV series in english but you have to speak with someone if you want to improve your oral, and it's not easy to make that effort if you know you can speak in a better way in Spanish.

I agree with mikel..the oral part is quite hard for me..thinking and then talking makes having a real conversation difficult.

Hello, I am Sandra. I agree with my classmates, the oral part is the most difficult one. I have to work harder to speak a bit more fluently. But apart from that we can´t forget listenings and phrasal verbs, can we?

If I had to choose some words which I find more difficult to pronounce I would choose the words "uncle" and "ankle".....being honest, I´ve never been able to tell the difference..
Come on, try to do it correctly!

Hi! I´m Mikel. In think that in English the oral part, and specially the pronunciation is for us the most difficult aspect of this language. It could be, because our first language (Spanish) is more rigid than English. Me personally, I have to improve my fluency and pronunciation.
See you!
