This is a BBC Interview. Listen and take notes on the podcast that is linked here. There will be a quiz on the main points of the interview. When learning a language there are many skills to learn such as reading and writing, but also speaking is an important skill too. A key to good speaking is "good" pronunciation and what does that mean? Take good notes and post those notes in the D2L Dropbox. This exercise will be graded as a five point homework assignment. Do your own work and review your notes so that you will be prepared for a quiz. Go to bbcaudio http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/pronunciation/mp3/tae_pronunciation1.mp3
