  1. I learned the pronunciation is more important than we usually think. It could chance the meaning of what we want to say. One good thing in this lesson is that there is a reason or reasons to pronunciate in a particular way and it makes sence when you are talking so I think I wont forget it.
    My score in the quiz was 100% I found it usefull to practice, specially if when you're doing it you try to pronunciate the word they are asking you to and listen to yourself, so you could note if it sounds the way it supouse to, that would work to confirm if you actually learned.

  3. I do this practice in my house. I think that when we pronounce verbs in past tense, the most difficult is distinguish the pronounce between "Id" and "d" in some verbs in english, because in spanish the pronounce is very similar, in change, the words that ending in p, sh, ch,s is easy that when we pronounce this words, we can pronounce "t" at the end. My score in the quiz is 70%

  7. I understood that the pronunciation is very important because this allows you understand in a conversation with an American. for example when pronounced the regular verbs in the past, the pronunciation is difficult to distinguish between "id" and "d". the key is that we must win skills of listening and speaking American English. Also you must practice the pronunciation in the termination of the sound of words.
    My score in the quiz was 83%.

  8. It is really necessary to have a good pronunciation of regular verbs in past and know to differentiate between ld-d, (that I think is the most difficult) to understand and be understood by anyone. The knowledge of rules for pronouncing is essential. To me helped me so much know that words finished on "t" to pronounce with "ld" also, say these words like I supposed that sounded, helped me to identify it. My score was 88 percent.
