Back to the Future

Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.

Pronunciation

Improving your English pronunciation

First of all, don't worry about not having a native-English accent. It's important to be able to speak clearly, so that people can understand you. However, it's almost impossible to sound exactly like a native English speaker if you are learning English as an adult in a non-English speaking country.

1. Listen to spoken English as often as possible.

2. Learn the phonetic alphabet.

3. Don't forget to learn the word stress of a new word.

4. Work out which sounds cause you most problems in English. For example final -ED

5. Be aware of intonation and sentence stress.

6. Imitate the rhythm and intonation of the language you are studying.

7. Compare your pronunciation to the model or models on tape.
