Subject: Re: Chinese learning English

Can you(or someone) record some of these differences and share them with the
rest of us? This would make for a good expanded unit on differences in
pronunciation, listening classes. Maybe glean some of the Internet workings of
the BBC,also Australian sites? Anyway, it would be interesting!

>>>I don't just teach what I say. I tailor my teaching to what large
groups of people say. I teach UK English but I explain when US English
is different enough to warrant it, eg. the Can/Can't distinction,
which in southern UK English depends on the contrast between the schwa
in can and the long a (as in father). In US English it's rather different.
