if you ask me , I think it is important to listen to different paces

Friday, December 30th 2011Reply to this comment

Thx James, great! I really like your lessons, always interesting things. I did learn the way to ask for money change in this case. Other teachers talk slower, however, I think the pace of your talking it’s a good thing cause it makes us refine our ears. Happy New Year to all the teachers!!

There is a pronunciation mistake in the sentence: Rachel told Sly the Snake that she needed a break from their relationship. Was does this mean?
Is this possible to repaire it? The sentence will be more clear.

Tuesday, January 3rd 2012Reply to this comment

good! speak more slowly please….

Tuesday, January 3rd 2012Reply to this comment

There are always some people that asks James to speak slowly. I hope he doesn’t fall into this… Other teachers already speak slowly enough and I think it’s very important to have both speeds, so the ear can get used to both of them. And in fact, for those who only complain about his voice speed, I have a question for you: do you guys really want to learn English? Or do you really think people will always slow down for you? Just watch ANY movie and you will see they speak even faster than James, so, STOP COMPLAINING!!

Tuesday, January 3rd 2012Reply to this comment
