Hi Emma,
I wish you could hear me! Very funny!!! It’s a good practice as an exercise in order to warm up the muscles of our mouth.
Once a teacher I know said: “never try to speak as fast as a native if you don’t wanna be misunderstood or even ridiculous!”
What do you say?

Hi Emma
Thanks a lot for the a mazing lesson about the pronunciation of DU. I’ve a little comment on this. I noticed that the D (only the D) is changed to j and the u remains u; so the tittle of your lesson should go ” The pronunciation of the letter D when followed by the letter U”. Thanks again for the oustanding job you are doing.

I’m a Spanish ESL student and, although I can watch TV without any subtitles and I write in something similar to English, even the easiest tongue-twister sounds like complete gibberish when I try to pronounce it at a slightly faster rate. Is there something wrong with me?
