reading and recording | Anneke

Our homework for the speaking course next week would be recording ourselves when reading a page of a book. In the next video you will hear me read the first chapter of the book 'Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children'. 

Reflection on my speaking and pronunciation:

First of all I think I sound British even though start of kind of rough. When listening to myself it occurred to me was that I should pronounce words with 'th' with my tongue between my front teeth and let the air flow out. The /t/ in that is already forced, but could be forced more to make it perfect. I pronounce the 'a' in extraordinary as an 'a', but should be pronounced with an 'e'.

I'm definitely going to record myself more often to see if I'm making progress and to find out what I still should improve.
