I will be going on vacation this week, so the next lesson should be posted May 5th or 6th. Please check back then for more podcasts!

One of the most famous audio language courses is the Pimsleur series. There are many different courses for learning many different languages. Most courses teach English speakers another language. I have used the Pimsleur lessons to learn Japanese, for example. But there are also courses for learning English as a Second Language. These lessons are very good practice for listening, speaking and responding to questions. If you listen closely to the voices on the tape you can also work on your pronunciation.

You can find them on Amazon.com or in Apple’s iTunes using the form below.

Sounds of English is a very useful website for learning how to pronounce English. It has many simple pictures showing where to put your tongue and how to shape your lips. Short audio and video clips demonstrate the sounds to you. There is also a good article on how to use stress and intonation.

There are many other language lessons you can use on your computer or iPod. The Berlitz English Pronunciation Program Guide might interest you. It has audio lessons to help you pronounce English. If you use the iTunes Music Store you can buy it there. Select your country and click on the button to see it in iTunes.
