Pronunciation Basics Tips

New words, lessons and essays; when read for the first time pose a certain degree of problem. For instance, when you read a pamphlet or leaflet selling tiles or a washing machine, you might come across new words, technical in nature; often difficult to speak or pronounce. And, you end up classifying the text as tough or difficult. Why get discouraged?
Here are a few common points that help you simplify pronunciation:
1. Know the difference between ‘p’ and ‘b’ (Put and But)
2. Know the difference between ‘b’ and ‘v’ (Ban and Van)
3. C is pronounced as Cat (sound of Ka) as well as Cell (sound of S)
4. Ch sound comes from stion or ture (Question) and (Picture)

Well, there are plenty of them; try adding them here.

Conversation on colors/ colours

The most striking and obvious colours my students pick up are 'white' and 'black'. While holding conversations on colours, always remember the importance of shades in your life.
Here are some points worth noting:
1. Use words like 'hues', 'shades', 'patterns', 'light', 'dark', 'tinge'
2. When talking about your favorite color, add a pinch of excitement to your eyes as well as your voice.
3. Relate the shade with things around you- clothes, paint, furniture, trees- anything that reinforces your interest in the colour.

Conversations on Looks

Next time you comment on or compliment someone's looks, use these words:
1. Beatific
2. Blissful
3. Deliberate
4. Puzzled
5. Convinced/ convincing
6. Confident
7. Mischievous

These seven Adjectives can be used with Nouns like 'face', 'smile', 'expression' or 'look','personality' besides others. The most common Verbs that match the Adjectives include 'looks', 'appear','bears' and more...

Conversations on Negotiation and Bargaining

How do you ask for a discount at the posh Mall next door with your head held high? How do you convince your client that your services come at a fixed charge? After all, you do not indulge in any kind of bargaining when it comes to offering your consultancy.

What about striking a deal? Negotiating a deal or agreement with business groups and organizations or Government representatives; involves the use of technically professional language.


In one of my Classes on I Speak You Speak English, we started with a list of words relating to Bargaining and Negotiation. Then, the students and I held situation-specific Conversations where a negotiating party spoke dialogues with others.

The most frequently used words and phrases were:
1. "Our company's policy is..."

2. "True, but we do not work on these conditions..."

3. "Sorry Sir, our Terms and Conditions are fixed..."

Try to figure out some more. You can even type your own dialogues here.

Conversations in the Market, Shops, Super-markets, Hyper-markets

As we shop around a local store, there are so many things to talk about. We talk to the salesperson about the quality, quantity, variety, features, price range, brand of the product. We could also end up meeting someone known/unknown n the supermarket and share opinions about the place.

While holding these Conversations, we need to speak the right words at the right time.
