Speaking practice


Hi,
I just found out about a very good site, EnglishCentral.com, to watch videos and record your voice after each sentence.
You have to register (it's free), which is very quick and easy. Then follow the instructions, which are very clear and very easy too. Make sure your microphone settings are OK for recording.

You can also listen to it at a slower pace (speed) or listen without reading. It gives you a score. If it's not too good, just repeat it until you get a better score.
This one is from "Breakfast at Tiffany's: $10 at Tiffany's" . It's medium difficulty. Try it!
