This week's pronunciation practice focused on words ending in -ATE. When is it pronounced /eɪt/ and when is it /ət/? Can a word be pronounced both ways, and if so, when? Members learnt to pronounce words like climate, graduate, passionate, and chocolate, so they can sound more natural and speak English with confidence.

What's your biggest challenge when learning English? Is it a lack of vocabulary? Grammar that feels confusing? A lack of confidence when speaking? Or do people often ask you to repeat yourself because your pronunciation isn't always clear?🤔 Let me know in the comments below. I'd love to hear what's holding you back and how this community can help you improve.

In order for me to create useful content for members, what is your current level in English? If you are sure, but would love to know, below is a link to Cambridge level test. For the purpose of this group, click on 'General English.' https://www.cambridgeenglish.org/test-your-english/

Would it be useful to you to practise your English by discussing a topic that's in the news each week? Or do you have any other ideas for get-togethers and discussions? Ways of learning?

Hi guys! I hope you are all well! The last time we spoke, I mentioned teaching you some English idioms and you seemed quite keen on this idea. So, I thought it would be a good idea for us to get together, and test your knowledge on these a little. See what you already know. Teach you some new ones! What do you think?😁 By the way, if you have any you want to check or share with the group, please do so! @Vicent Miralles Lluch @Raquel Miralles @Rebeca Ester Lescano
