Podcast-Sendung: #040 Correction when Speaking English
------------------------
Hello, my dear students!  I'm Georgiana, founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU to speak English fluently and confidently. Today I'll talk about correction when speaking English and how it affects your fluency. Later you'll practice your speaking with a funny mini story. Let's start!

Every time you make a mistake, the tutor will tell you the correct pronunciation, and that's how you'll learn to speak correctly.  Yet, based on my vast experience as an English teacher I must be honest with you and tell you that this approach isn't practical. In fact, overcorrection prevents you from developing fluency. READ THE TEXT HERE: SpeakEnglishPodcast.com>
