Step 4

Reflection:

This activity was very funny for me because I could practice pronunciation and grammar.
First, I had to review the International Phonetic Alphabet to remember better the correct
pronunciation of each letter of the phonetic alphabet, after that I could think on some words
using them.

In addition, for the tongue twisters part, I started reading one by one slowly for get familiar
with the vocabulary. I did that three times. After that, I read them faster and practice twice
before film me.

While I was filming me I felt a little nervous because I didn’t want to be wrong on the
pronunciation of the tongue twisters.
In general, I felt good with this activity because it was short and meaningful to improve my
knowledges about phonetics and phonology and to understand the importance of know
about it in this learning process.
