In fact, I like your suggestion... and I might do 1-2 lesson sets for one of Alan Watts podcast episodes. <BR/><BR/>I'd offer them for free to my email Newsletter subscribers. Great idea! <BR/><BR/>I'm traveling to Thailand in a couple of days-- and will be there and in Japan for about 6 weeks. But maybe I can get one Alan Watts lesson done before I go. <BR/><BR/>No promises-- but I'll try :)<BR/><BR/>PS: Subscribe to my newsletter at:<BR/>http://www.EffortlessEnglishClub.com/newsletter.htmlAJ Hogehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182460969294472340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184413898243462710.post-14688913245772154782008-02-22T13:22:00.000-08:002008-02-22T13:22:00.000-08:00Hi AJ,Here I am again.

So I would like a bonus: the text about any film by Alan Watts (there is a lot of short films from him in "you tube" and I have everything of him). I would like to practice my pronunciation with the video... again, again and again, you know? Come one, man, just one...I'm a big fan from Alan Watts and yours too....just one bonus, please...(just a kidding but I thrust in you... hahahaha) <BR/><BR/>Congratulations, you're an amazing teacher<BR/><BR/>see yareynaldo bosquêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16037764505201594539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184413898243462710.post-20195710952344731582008-02-19T21:26:00.000-08:002008-02-19T21:26:00.000-08:00Hi AJ,Thank you for your time for answering my que...Hi AJ,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your time for answering my question.

There is no neutral English accent :) Everyone speaks with an accent (ie. with a certain pattern of pronunciation). <BR/><BR/>I have a very typical "standard" American/North American accent. By this I mean the standard accent you typically hear on TV from newscasters and the like (in the US). This is typically considered a midwest/western accent and is the most common in the US. The standard Canadian accent is quite close to this as well. <BR/><BR/>An interesting note- Though I'm from the south and was raised there, my parents were raised in the midwest and I acquired their accent. My sister, however, has a bit of a southern accent. <BR/><BR/>You'll find the same situation with British accents. There is a standard accent (ie. "BBC English") but many regional accents as well. I'm not so familiar with Australian or New Zealand accents, but I imagine this would be the case in those countries as well. <BR/><BR/>Its also true of Japanese-- there is the "standard" Tokyo accent... but various regions have their own accents (or even dialects). My wife, for example, has an Osaka accent. <BR/><BR/>Anyway... focus your listening on the standards accents (American, British, Aussie, Kiwi) and you'll be fine. <BR/><BR/>If, however, you plan to live in a specific region (such as the South-east United States), you might want to find some material with accents from that region. <BR/><BR/>Good luck.AJ Hogehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182460969294472340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184413898243462710.post-19710943657676325262008-02-18T20:41:00.000-08:002008-02-18T20:41:00.000-08:00Hi AJ,May i ask whether the english in all your po...Hi AJ,<BR/><BR/>May i ask whether the english in all your podcast is neutralise accent or are they american accent?<BR/><BR/>Sorry if i had ask a stupid question, but i really not sure.Forexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892441608577453611noreply@blogger.com
