Pronunciation Class #1

Welcome 10D, 10TA, and 34D2 to my class.


Here are some rules:

Speaking Vietnamese without permission: 500VND
Answering phones in class/Sending SMS in class: 500VND
Don't be shy or quiet in class.
Don't cheat (NO COPYING from classmates, books, or the internet)
No late homework or reports.

How to succeed in my class:
Practice everyday.
Speak English all the time.
Be confident.
Don't be discouraged. Everyone's English is terrible; it's not an excuse.
Don't be lazy. I hate lazy students who pretend they are not.
Work together.


How we learn in class:
Finding a new mouth: In my class, you will use English mouths and not Vietnamese mouths. The muscles in your mouth need time to become strong and adapt.

Be confident: I don't care if you were never confident before, be confident now about your English and about yourself.

Diversity in Topics: I will teach you about many different things. The important thing is that you talk a lot. Talk, listen, talk, listen.
