    November 2, 2024

    Hello everybody. I've been meaning to record a short podcast to tell you what's going on, and here it is. I've been very busy the past month and November and December are shaping up to be even busier. So I'm not going to record any new podcasts during that time. I will continue to pay for the podcasts to be hosted so you can listen to any of them you like and download them. But I'm not planning to record new ones, at least for the next two months.

    However, if you follow me on Telegram, I have been putting up short recordings which you can play as loops. So if you start them playing, you can listen one time or ten times or a hundred times. I personally, for my own language practice, think loops are great. They let you really key in on the pronunciation and the rhythm and how something really sounds. Much better than anything else. Repetition, as far as I'm concerned, is magic. So if you're not following me on Telegram, the link is below. If you don't use Telegram, you might consider getting it. It's handy for this purpose. I know it's also used by all sorts of bad people to do bad things, but that's out of my control. So give it a try. Set up a little Telegram account and follow English with Barry.

    I have been posting two sentences a day most of the time on weekdays. So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Two, I should say two loops because some of them are more than one or two sentences. So that's it. No new podcast planned for the next two months. And I will try to post at least one, if not two, new loops every weekday on my Telegram channel. If you have any questions, there's a link below for sending me a message. And I'll put an email so you can email me also if you want to. Thank you, and happy November and happy December. Take care!
    Barry

    Send me a text message. Suggestions? Subjects for future podcasts? Let me know--thanks!

    If your native language doesn’t include many consonant blends, English can be a challenge. An example is “st” as in the word “test.” These blends can appear at the beginning of a word, in the middle, or at the end. Let’s practice.

    1- The first test was the worst test; the last test was the second worst.

    2- My task was to cover the disk on my desk with my mask.

    3- Old Mr. Gold told me he had a cold from the mold.

    4- I used my wand to send sand to the pond.

    5- Do you think I should dunk the skunk in the sink or the tank?

    6- I heard the sound of a hound running around and sniffing a mound.

    7- As a prank, the drunk drank his drink in a trunk.

    8- Would you, could you scold a child in a field?

    9- Mr. Smart stood apart in the court and held a chart of his heart.

    10- The bored blond was armed with a can of baked beans.

    (From - Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll: beginning of Chapter 7.)

    There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head. “Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse,” thought Alice; “only, as it’s asleep, I suppose it doesn’t mind.”

    The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it:

    1- “No room! No room!” they cried out when they saw Alice coming. “There’s plenty of room!” said Alice indignantly, and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table.

    2- “Have some wine,” the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.

    Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. “I don’t see any wine,” she remarked.

    3- “There isn’t any,” said the March Hare.

    “Then it wasn’t very civil of you to offer it,” said Alice angrily.

    “It wasn’t very civil of you to sit down without being invited,” said the March Hare.

    4- “I didn’t know it was your table,” said Alice; “it’s laid for a great many more than three.”

    “Your hair wants cutting,” said the Hatter. He had been looking at Alice for some time with great curiosity, and this was his first speech.

    “You should learn not to make personal remarks,” Alice said with some severity; “it’s very rude.”

    5- The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said was, “Why is a raven like a writing-desk?”

    “Come, we shall have some fun now!” thought Alice. “I’m glad they’ve begun asking riddles.—I believe I can guess that,” she added aloud.

    6- “Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?” said the March Hare.

    “Exactly so,” said Alice.

    “Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on.

    7- “I do,” Alice hastily replied; “at least—at least I mean what I say—that’s the same thing, you know.”

    “Not the same thing a bit!” said the Hatter. “You might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!”

    8- “You might just as well say,” added the March Hare, “that ‘I like what I get’ is the same thing as ‘I get what I like’!”

    9- “You might just as well say,” added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, “that ‘I breathe when I sleep’ is the same thing as ‘I sleep when I breathe’!”

    10- “It is the same thing with you,” said the Hatter, and here the conversation dropped, and the party sat silent for a minute, while Alice thought over all she could remember about ravens and writing-desks, which wasn’t much.

    Another expression with the verb take. Let’s practice with “to take advantage of.”

    To “take advantage of” can be good or bad.

    Here’s an example of the bad kind: “He took advantage of his friend’s generosity by borrowing money and never paying it back.”

    And the good kind: “She took advantage of every opportunity to practice her English with fluent speakers.”

    1) My friend took advantage of my ignorance to sell me defective merchandise.

    2) The car salesman knew we didn’t know anything about cars. He really took advantage of us. Now we have no money and a crappy car.

    3) Our supermarket is having a sale on pasta. I’m going to take advantage of the low prices and stock up.

    4) My mother is friends with all the local politicians. If I ever decide to get into politics, I’ll take advantage of her connections.

    The verb “take” is very common in English and it’s used in many ways. One of the expressions is to “take a look.” Here are some examples:

    1) “Doctor, please take a look at this X-ray.”

    2) He took one look at the snake and said, “It’s a Burmese Python.”

    3) “We need to take a look around your apartment,” said the policeman.

    4) She took one look at my hand and said, “That’s a nasty cut. You’re going to need some stitches.”

    5) My professor said he would take a look at my essay later.

    To get the most benefit from this podcast, practice it once or twice, then put it away for a day or two--and then practice it again. If you can, make a recording of yourself saying these sentences and compare your pronunciation with mine. Repeated listening and speaking is the key.

    Practice with some 4-syllable words

    · Wadjasay? American English Pronunciation Practice

    Send me a text message. Suggestions? Subjects for future podcasts? Let me know--thanks!

    This podcast contains 26 sentences. Each sentence includes at least one 4-syllable word. The words are in alphabetical order, so the 4-syllable word in the first sentence is “alligator” beginning with “A” and so on. Sentence number 26 contains the word “zoology”.

    Note that some of the sentences are silly and nonsensical while others are perfectly normal. Don’t worry about the ones that don’t make sense. Your job here is to practice pronouncing English. Let’s start:

    1. I was eaten by an alligator.

    2. She married a benevolent barbarian.

    3. He battled a cantankerous cauliflower.

    4. You can’t deactivate a dandelion.

    5. We rode up on an entertaining elevator.

    6. She was flabbergasted by my fettuccine.

    7. I donate generously to gastronomic startups.

    8. His harmonica playing was heartbreakingly sad.

    10. She doesn’t put jellyfishes in her jambalaya.

    11. The kindergarten children of Kalamazoo are knowledgeable about Kookaburras.

    12. Our librarian spoke lyrically about her favorite books.

    25. She used to work in Yosemite Park.

    26. Is zoology the study of zoos?

    If you need to translate any of the words in this podcast, DeepL is a good translator.

    This podcast took several hours to write, record, and edit. Whaddya think? Is it worth a few dollars to you? Should I continue this work or quit? Your support will answer that question. Thank you.

    Here's a short poem to help you practice S, Z, and SH sounds.

    Dessert Time at the Zooquarium.

    A zebra sipped a milkshake.
    A serpent swam in cream.
    Hippos splashed and frolicked.
    In a gurgling chocolate stream.

    The zoo was full of visitors
    who buzzed like busy bees.
    And watched the sharks swim lazily
    through orange soda seas.

    The sounds were like an orchestra.
    As creatures chewed and slurped.
    At closing time, the whole place shook.
    An elephant had burped.

  • Mind Your Vs and Ws

    Mind Your Vs and Ws

    · Wadjasay? American English Pronunciation Practice

    Send me a text message. Suggestions? Subjects for future podcasts? Let me know--thanks!

    English has V sounds and W sounds. But some languages only have one or the other. If your native language is missing one of these sounds, you need to learn it. Otherwise we won’t know if you want to say “wet” or “vet”. To help you practice, I wrote this poem:

    Mind Your Vs and Ws

    Our teacher is a vampire,

    He wobbles when he walks

    His voice is kind of funny

    But we like the way he talks.

    “I want to drink your blood,” he says,

    “It’s so invigorating.”

    But he says ‘vant’ instead of ‘want’

    And so ‘inwigerating’.

    “Mind your Vs and Ws,”

    We tell him with regret,

    “It’s ‘while’ and ‘went’ and ‘west’ and ‘wary’

    And ‘whale’ and ‘worse’ and ‘wet’.”

    “Just so!” he says, “I see, I see,

    I’ll get them right I bet:

    It’s ‘vile’ and ‘vent’ and ‘vest’ and ‘vary’

    And ‘veil’ and ‘verse’ and ‘vet’.”

    “No!” We shout, and laugh and yell

    And act like we will riot

    Until he shows his shiny fangs—

    And then—like graves—we’re quiet.

    English is full of reductions. We write “going to” but we say “gonna” for example.

    The conjunction “and” is often reduced to an /n/ sound. So “hot and cold” becomes “hot ’n’ cold” and so on. Here are ten sentences to practice with.

    These phrases are sometimes called “fixed” and phrases. Ask any American to finish these:

    “Rock and _____.”

    “Bright and ______.”

    “Pros and ______.”

    Yes, they are effectively collocations.

    1. She often listens to rock and roll.

    2. My grandson like to eat bread and jam.

    3. “I now pronounce you man and wife.”

    4. They got up bright and early.

    5. She cared for her grandmother night and day.

    6. He wasn’t interested in the ins and outs of local politics.

    7. Professor Jones studied the rise and fall of ancient empires.

    8. It was a matter of life and death.

    9. I need to think about the pros and cons before I decide.

    10. There’s too much hustle and bustle in a big city. I prefer living in the country.

  • Past tense of regular verbs - MORE PRACTICE NEEDED!

    Past tense of regular verbs - MORE PRACTICE NEEDED!

    Regular verbs in English add “ed” to show past tense.

    So “walk” becomes “walked”, “cook” becomes “cooked”, etc.

    There are three ways the “ed” can be pronounced. In this podcast we will—again—practice verbs where the past tense ends with the /t/ sound. So in #1, look becomes looked [lookt] and drop becomes dropped [drohpt].

    Note: this podcast includes several synthetic voices. (Due to a bad cold and sore throat, my voice is on vacation.)

    If you need to practice this podcast, then you should also practice this one with the /d/ sound.

    1 . I looked for my phone but apparently I had dropped it into the lake.

    2 . We baked an apple pie and I brushed some butter on the crust.

    3 . I cracked some eggs into the pan and we cooked breakfast.

    4 . I kissed her hand and she dropped me a curtsy.

    5 . He finished work at six and then hiked home.

    6 . The prisoner jumped out the window and escaped.

    7 . I guessed what was wrong and then I fixed his car.

    8 . My uncle laughed as he smoked a cigar.

    9 . My sister and I talked as we shopped.

    10 . The man stopped and looked out the window.

    11 . Mr. Jones slipped on the ice, fell down, and knocked himself out.

    12 . He picked some flowers for his mother and pressed them into her hand.

    13 . We locked the door and hoped there were no burglars around.

    14 . The ballerina danced like an angel.

    15 . His car crashed into a tree.

    16 . What a crowd of people! The room was packed.

    17 . I missed the bus so I walked home from work.

    18 . I pushed the baby carriage. We passed lots of other carriages. So many babies!

    19 . He joked with me as he dressed in a tuxedo.

    20 . I relaxed and watched the men working across the street.

    21 . I thanked the doctor for his help.

    22 . She peeked into the oven. The cake was not baked yet.

    23 . I touched him on the shoulder and he jumped.

    24 . I passed him my binoculars so he could look at the lion.

    25 . Our websites are now linked.

    If you're listening to this, I assume you've practiced most or all of the sentences in this podcast. And if you've done that, you must believe it's helping you to improve your English. That's great!

    But Barry has a question for you: should this podcast be free? It's not free for him to create: it takes time to write and record, often 2-3 hours per podcast. He pays monthly fees to the company that hosts the podcasts. He pays monthly fees for the software that he uses to record and edit the software.

    As a business, this podcast is a failure. The money it costs Barry is much greater than the few dollars he gets every month from supporters. And that’s why he’s thinking of stopping. If you care, become a supporter or at least donate by buying the occasional cup of coffee. If you don’t care, then stopping the podcast won’t make any difference—except that Barry will have more free time.

    If you’d like to share your thoughts, please use the link at the top of the podcast text. And if you’re wondering why Barry didn’t record this in his own voice, it’s because he has a terrible cold and no voice to recor

    Final consonant clusters with "r"
    What's a consonant cluster? Simple: take the "r" sound, combine it with another consonant like "d", as in the word "yard" and you have a small group or cluster of two consonants. In the sentences below you'll find words like these: hard, guard, stirred, part, third, park, clerk, etc. Depending on your native language these may be easy to pronounce, or sometimes quite difficult. (In another podcast we'll practice some of the longer, harder clusters. Can you say "desks" for example?)
