-

Summary       : What was the listening section about?

Do not study grammar rules
Most of your life learning English, you have been told to learn grammar In middle school, high school, university, and language course. Did it work? Is it successful? And probably you just focus on grammar rules. Can you speak English quickly? It is not your fault actually. The reason and the answer from most of people . You study grammar too much because your teacher told you to do. When you focus on grammar rules you focus on analyzing English. You think about the past tense, the present tense, and future tense. But if you use it in writing it’s okay, because that is the time.  But if it is for speaking it is does not work to think about the rules and the tenses. If someone ask you, you have to answer immediately without thinking about the tenses and grammar rules because there is no time for it.
Native speaker never study grammar rules, but they study it in college and for writing purpose. But, they are never study grammar rules for speaking.  AJ Hoge said that the best way to learn grammar is through input, e.g. : listening.
If you study grammar rules, it will hurt your speaking. You will speak slowly and never improve

3 Ways to Sound More British Pronunciation Lesson
-

Summary       : What was the listening section about?

1.     “R” sound
The general rule to sound more British is don’t pronounce the R sound. unless it’s followed by a vowel. But in American English you would pronounce the R sound in the end of a word.
Example:
Word: Better  ( bett-uh )
Word : Folder ( fold–uh )
British people end the word with “a” or “uh”. It knows as schwa sound. But, American end the word with “er” sound, like folder.
2.     Pronouncing the letter  U
British people often pronounce the letter U as you.
Example:
Word : Stupid “ st-you-pid”
Duty “d you ti”
3.     T’s
In British English they do one of two things. When Americans would say “water”. They can say “ wah-ta” or “ wah-ah”
The pronounce “Wah-ta” is the generally correct way of saying it. And “Wah-ah” is very informal and features in many dialects and regional accents like Cockney.
So we can either completely overaccentuate and pronounce the T, or drop it completely and replace it with a glottal stop
Glottal stop is an audible consonant created by blocking the flow of air. In simple terms , it’s this, uh, wah-uh, bett-uh
American sometimes replace the “Teh” sound with a “Deh” sound.

Vocabularies/language expression you learnt:
1.     Cockney

3.     Glottal
4.     Audible
5.     Consonant

How to learn and remember vocabulary
-

Summary       : What was the listening section about?
Lucy said when she was learning Spanish, she managed to expand her vocabulary incredibly and quickly and she created her method although the method is already exist, but she identified her need and she created a solution
The solutions are :
1.     Reminding yourself that today you’re going to search for words that you don’t already know when you wake up
2.     Creating a list on your phone or notebook of all things you’ve seen today that you don’t know how to say
Then after you write down them on your phone or your notebook you can search their meaning and how to pronounce it, for example Lucy search the meaning in WordReference.com also listen the pronunciation and added them in her diary.
3.     Keep on doing it until her list is full
Then she has a definitive list of all the new vocabulary that she saw that day.
She suggests that we need to do this diary every day and making it a part of our life and our routine because by following this process and this method, we’re training our brain to be constantly looking and confirming that it knows words in that second language and when our brain doesn’t know the meaning, just write that word down into your phone or notebook
