Today we've continued talking about phonetics. The teacher has prepared papers with vowels and consonants with pictures for children to understand better. While he has showed us the pictures we've written the examples in our notebooks. After that we've done many examples, writing a word in phonetic symbols. Finally, in pairs or in groups, we've written a limerick and the next day we'll show it everybody.

These are examples about who can we teach phonetics in a funny way:

Besides, this is the limerick that I've written with my partners:
THERE IS A DOG IN A WINDOW
HE WANTS TO TOUCH THE RAINBOW
WHAT A BAD IDEA!
IT DOESN'T MATTER HERE
THE RAINBOW IS NOT IN THE WINDOW

This class has been interesting for me because before I'd never seen phonetics in this way, with pictures and with many examples and I think that this is useful for my future as a teacher. Besides I've enjoyed a lot doing the limerick.

What I've learnt today is that one of the most important things of learning English is the pronunciation and it depends on the phonetics that you have learned during your life as a student.
