  Molto bene! Appena alcune cose da correggere... È non facile, ma prova cambiare la pronuncia del "s" nel "snowing". In italiano, è pronunciato più come "z" , ma in inglese, è pronunciato come 'hissing' suono, con la linguetta rilassato. Secondariamente, " Rainy" è il pronunciato "rain-eee". Suona come tu ha detti il " raining" - forma di gerundio. In inglese: It is not easy, but try to change the pronunciation of the "s" in "is snowing". In Italian, it is pronounced more like "z", but in English, it is pronounced as a 'hissing' sound, with the tongue more relaxed. Secondly, "Rainy" is pronounced "rain-eee". It sounds like you said "raining" - the gerundio form. Ma, continui a fare molto bene! Continui così! Ciao! Stacey Submitted over a year ago

  Brilliant! Only one mistake. You said "...it is Znowing". Whilst the "s" in "is" can be pronounced with a hint of a "z" the "s" in "snowing" shouldn't be. It has an "s" sound. The rest is perfect. Submitted over a year ago

  I agree with SGKnight about snowy and rainy. Also watch words ending in s: you say there is(a) sun, the weather is(a) warm, the girl has(a) sunglasses. Try to avoid that. Submitted over a year ago

  Hi Agostino EXCELLENT - very clear and well pronounced. I could only detect a very slight intrusive "a" - there is(a) sun, yet it wasn't apparent in "is warm", "is cold" etc, so you just need to practise little phrases like this to try to suppress that "a", but for me it is not a major problem. "Is snowing" - I can see why the "z" sound develops over to sound like "znowing". "Is" certainly should sound like "iz", but leave a very slight pause before saying "snowing", and make the "s" a very sibilant sound. Practise other similar phrases like "is sleeping", "is speaking", "is smiling", "is staying", "is saying" etc - just find lots of verbs beginning with "s" and "s impure" . Say them slowly to begin with, then speed up a bit. Keep up the excellent work Ciao Iain P.S. Raining / rainy - a little slip, don't worry about it. \^._.^/ This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash string(11) "transparent" Submitted over a year ago
