Better than the last one ^.^

It was very interesting for me to listen to this, because as an American, some of the sounds that this course were saying should sound the same, don't sound the same in America. And the vocabulary was very obviously British. :lol:

But that's some really good improvement ^.^

For info, the book used by Ольга is Get Rid of Your Accent: The English Pronunciation and Speech Training Manual by Linda James.
In the video, I can understand the words, not the sentences. As my english is far from perfect, I checked if I could understand the sentences on the CD: I can.
I noticed that you read faster than the natice speaker on the CD: read slower, articulate more, pronunce all the syllables.
I've also noticed that you have a very high-pitched voice at the beginning of the sentences: why ? It's absolutly not what you can hear on the CD.

Yes, this attempt is unsuccessful, because I read too fast. I will improve it tomorrow.

Going much better!

It's very interesting to hear someone learning a British accent. It's sounds so fancy :lol:
