1.Imagine that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object of making men happy in the end ... but that it was essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny creature ... And to found that edifice on its unavenged tears: would you consent to be the architect on those conditions? Tell me, and tell me the truth!

2.All people seem to be divided into "ordinary" and "extraordinary". The ordinary people must lead a life of strict obedience and have no right to transgress the law because ... they are ordinary. Whereas the extraordinary people have the right to commit any crime they like and transgress the law in any way just because they happen to be extraordinary.

3.Talking nonsense is the sole privilege mankind possesses over the other organisms. It's by talking nonsense that one gets to the truth! I talk nonsense, therefore I'm human.

4.To kill someone for committing murder is a punishment incomparably worse than the crime itself. Murder by legal sentence is immeasurably more terrible than murder by brigands.

5.Yes - you, you alone must pay for everything because you turned up like this, because I'm a scoundrel, because I'm the nastiest, most ridiculous, pettiest, stupidest, and most envious worm of all those living on earth who're no better than me in any way, but who, the devil knows why, never get embarassed, while all my life I have to endure insults from every louse - that's my fate. What do I care that you dont understand any of this?

How can you improve your American English accent easily? Is there any way to improve your accent? What is the best method to improve your American accent? This article will answer these questions.

1. Is there any way to improve my accent?

Yes, it is! It won’t happen overnight, but you can definitely improve your accent if you want to do it. There are many methods to do it. Some people can pick up a new accent very quickly, other people need more time, but the key is practice.

2. How can I improve my American English accent?

The key is listening and imitating native speakers. How to do it? You can watch American movies with subtitles and try to repeat after speakers, listen to American music (find lyrics and sing along!), listen to American radio (VOA News Special English is great!), talk with native speakers (it’s the best method, so if you live in the United States or Canada you can very quickly improve your American accent) or learn from an audio course.

3. What is the best method to improve my American accent?

Audio course is definitely one of the best ways to improve your accent. How does it work? There is a speaker who teaches you every rule of American accent – pronunciation rules (how to pronounce vowels, consonants, diphthongs), intonation rules, word connection rules and so on. You will be surprised, because there are many rules which you aren’t aware of.

You can definitely improve your American English accent, but it takes some time. If you keep practicing every day, you should quickly notice results. Good luck and have fun while practicing your American accent!

When you start on my program, you may think it sounds much too fast – in fact, some of my students ask me why the speakers are talking so quickly! They think it is faster than natural English. But it isn’t! This is the speed of English that you need to learn to understand.
.

Why is fast English so hard to understand?

When we speak in conversation, we don’t pronounce each word clearly, and we often join words together. This means that it is difficult to hear when words begin and end, because we pronounce them as one long sound. My students often say – why do English speakers do that? They want the words to be pronounced separately and clearly, so they can understand them. But think about your own language. You don’t stop and start between words and if I listen to your language, I will not be able to understand where it begins and ends.
.

Don’t worry! With DailyStep lessons, you will get a second audio file that is slowed down using special software to 65% of natural speed. This allows you to hear exactly how the language works. I recommend that you practice speaking along with this file several times each day before moving on to practise with the natural speed file.

What about the grammar and vocabulary?

You don’t need to focus on this much, because by listening, repeating and speaking the file over and over again, you naturally absorb the grammar and vocabulary, and you will find that you can use it without thinking next time the opportunity arises.

I have designed these online audio lessons to be a very easy, cheap and effective way to improve your English speaking, listening and conversation skills, and also to improve TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS and other examination listening scores. Every day you’ll learn some new English vocabulary, idioms and phrasal verbs, and feel more confident in working and making friends in English. You’ll also learn correct English pronunciation, rhythm and tone.

My philosophy with teaching English is that it is best for you to learn a little each day and remember it clearly. I always make sure my online English lessons are short, interesting and easy to remember. Whether you are taking other English classes or not, I can help you to achieve your English learning goals.
