Good.
I agree about the pronunciation of 'coat', but 'women' is pronounced 'wimmin', not 'vimen'.
Very clear. Here are a few words to practice. I'll record them for you.
coat (it sounded more like "cot" when you said it)
pink (the k was hard to hear when you said it)
blue (this was clearer the first time you said it)
Get Flash string(11) "transparent"
Good work.
Hi DurgaPrasad: In English there's a huge difference between "v", with your top teeth against your lower lip, and "w", more like "oou". I know that व is half way between. "women" is said as "wimuhn".
阿芯: I think the English "w" is difficult for people. When you say "white", think "oo-ay-t", it's almost three sounds.
No Additional comment to those made by other members. You have good reading and speaking skills, however you just need more practice to sound more fluent. Fine Job!!!
