Pronounciation Diary 3 / Feedback



After our pronunciation exercise I got that feedback that I pronounced the ð sound wrong in "their". 

In order to correct this I first used the BBC pronounciation page and then did some minimal pair exercises on the Mirriam Webster website. 

The second word I mispronounced was debt. I used howjsay.com to look up the correct pronunciation of the word. Same applies for stimulus

Last but there was the metal trap. I wasn't aware of the effect that there was a British and an American way of spelling the metal in question. Accordingly I pronounced the American spelt aluminum like the British aluminium.
