Imagine not just speaking but singing in English as a Second Language!

This is what this group of Korean girls are doing, and they seem to be making strides learning the new language in New York. What has the experience been like? Listen to them in this interview.


How could anyone mistake the word velvet for pepper? Well, if the v and p sounds are confused, you'll hear "pelpet," which may make you think it's "pepper." Red Pepper Cake? Ouch! So let's get ready to work on pronunciation, listening, grammar, and all the things that help us to learn a new language!

Welcome back to LINC class Monday morning. It may not be a piece of cake, but I hope it's all worth the effort and that we'll all be making good progress in the new term!
