TRICKY ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION MADE EASY:  Walk - Talk - Half - Calm - Salmon

8/5/2016

Learning English would initially be best done without reading, as the written word distracts learners from hearing the correct pronunciation.  

DON'T READ!  LISTEN & IMITATE the sound you hear!

Don't be distracted by the way it's written - LISTEN & REPEAT IMITATING!!

The L before the letter K, as in WALK or TALK, is NEVER PRONOUNCED so that we say  /wɔːk/. /tɔːk/.

As a result we say walkie-talkie  /ˌwɔː.kiˈtɔː.ki/ 
   
The same happens with L before F as in HALF. /hɑːf/
or before the M as in CALM /cɑːm/
or in SALMON /ˈsæmən/

So remember:  Don't be distracted by the way it's written - LISTEN & REPEAT IMITATING!!

    My name is Susan Brodar, born in London into a multilingual family and brought up bilingual English / Italian.

    I went to school in London until 15 when we moved to Germany where I finished my British education at Munich International School. I started teaching Italian at evening classes aged only 17 and studied Mass Communications and Journalism at Munich University.

    I continued teaching parallel to interpreting at trade fairs and business meetings as well doing translations. After working at the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade for a year I married my Italian globetrotting companion in 1983 and we set up our home near Venice, Italy where we continue to live with our two teenaged children.

    Having taken my British High School-leaving ‘A’ Level exams in English, Italian, French & German I am completely fluent in all four languages and am taking a DELE certification in Spanish to complement them.
