Jerry英语潜能学习法 -neww(sleepy); 2006-5-16 (#2973808@0)

I admire Jerry for his success. I was inspired by him and worked on my own and it worked beautifully for myself. Now I speak English in a way very close to Canadians. -singapura(rainy forest); 2006-5-5 (#2949866@0)

I believe my language gift is a little better than average immigrants. That's how I could get through it myself. But for most immigrants who are frustrated with their pronunciations, -singapura(rainy forest); 2006-5-5 {141} (#2949883@0)

I believe professional help from Jerry would be helpful. If any of you would like to exchange tips with me, my email is shukangy@hotmail.com.

actually I met quite a few people (Chinese immigrants) who pronounce and speak like Canadians. Maybe you just have not met enough people. -stevensun2000(小胖子); 2006-5-5 (#2951350@0)

Sometimes my friend told me that a guy really sounds like Canadians, but when I listen to the same person, I can find so many problems. I often find people's listening is so different. -vista(孤山远景); 2006-5-5 {265} (#2951495@0)
I am not anyhow trying to dismiss other people's talent. I just noticed this is a fact. Now my friends would say according to my standard, he's not good enough. But the purpose is not to pick problems, the purpose is to correct these problems if we can spot them.

Pretty much they (people I mentioned in my post above) got the same comments (sound like natives) from natives, not just me. -stevensun2000(小胖子); 2006-5-6 (#2951857@0)

Good for them. As I said we're not just picking others problems, we want to improve together and help others who have the same desire to become good. -vista(孤山远景); 2006-5-7 {118} (#2952407@0)
I wish to exchange ideas with your friends, and you can also chat with me in English. Just leave me a private message.

As I am chaning my user id from Singapura to Vista, I replied with both user names under the same topic. -vista(孤山远景); 2006-5-9 (#2957091@0)

agree, pronounce is very important. -guest1(guest); 2006-5-6 {332} (#2951877@0)

发音确实很重要，学了美音发音后我感觉看电视听力提高不少。别告诉我说英国人，印度人都能听懂美音，虽然他们发音不同。我也能听懂东北话，河南话，虽然我不会说，因为中文是我的母语。但老外学中文必须学到大山的水平才能听懂各地方言。
改进发音后别人能听懂你说什么，这点也很重要。有口音没关系，别人听不懂你关系就大了。面试时有这么一两次就fail了。

Are u my friend T...? I heard him talking about this with me. This is a very good analogy. Just yesterday -vista(孤山远景); 2006-5-6 {171} (#2952412@0)
I first didn't figure out what my friend was telling me about his engineering field, because he didn't pronounce the word "civil" so clearly, later on I corrected him.

No, I am not the person you are talking about. -guest1(guest); 2006-5-6 {134} (#2952431@0)
Pronunciation is important, to be exact. I learned my lesson from job interview. Once or twice bad pronunciation failed an interview.

Good for you to understand the importance of good pronounciation. I am probably taking one step further and desiring 100% North American pronounciation style, which I can do now. -vista(孤山远景); 2006-5-7 {288} (#2953311@0)
Lot of people including my friends said you don't have to speak exactly like locals in terms of pronounciation, as long as you make yourself understood well, it's OK. I just demand myself more and I achieved it in that aspect. I like to share experiences with those who desire the same.

I totally agree with you there. , you will achieve a lot more If you set a bigger goal than you would set a less-demanding goal. I -wwiii(everthing but...); 2006-5-9 {298} (#2957552@0)
am taking Jerry's course and I have experienced lots of improvements and gained confience in day-to-day conversations. Would you mind PM your contact info and we could have a chat? in my opinion, get the right approach first, have a positive attitude, keep practicsing is the formula for success.

Check your private message where I left you my phone number. Sure we can chat in English and exchange ideas. -vista(孤山远景); 2006-5-10 (#2960055@0)
that's funny, you do not have any English speaking people talking with everyday?! -vetra(piyupiyu); 2006-5-17 (#2976133@0)

let me ask you a question: how many those english speaking people are interested in sharing experience on how to improve pronunciation -wwiii(everthing but...); 2006-5-17 {512} (#2976959@0)
they don't have the patience or interest most likely,
if you ask them, all they can do is to pronounce it correctly. when it comes down to how YOU can do it right, they have no ideas.

That's why I took jerry's course and also want to talk to other people who has successfully gain improvement in this area.

while the other point is that when you talk to your peers, you would focus on commnucation and content rather than intonation and pronunciation. So it's totally different approach in my opinions

well, i guess it is up to you. if you really work the way jerry require. i think it will work. so sad some jerry's students they are not working that hard. i myself get some improvements, . -greenmousepad(greenmousepad); 2006-5-6 (#2952023@0)

我听过一次JERRY的公开课. 后来听朋友讲SENECA的PRONOUNCIATION课比较专业.后来我选择上了SENECA的课.从上课老师到教材使用确实很专业.对我终生有益.价格也不贵. -toronto12345(toronto123); 2006-5-7 {102} (#2953376@0)

我也喜欢JERRY的上课风格和勇气,但不喜欢学校老板娘那幅过于夸张吹嘘和拉客的嘴脸,我觉的她喜欢什么都吹过头.

对于Jerry的课,我试听过一次.我欣赏JERRY的上课风格和勇气,也赞叹他对英语的悟性.但不喜欢学校老板娘那幅过于夸张吹嘘和拉客的嘴脸,我觉的她喜欢什么都吹过头. -toronto12345(toronto123); 2006-5-7 (#2953386@0)

"拉客"一词用得不妥! -super_7(649); 2006-5-16 (#2973800@0)

应该说"拉客户".但你也别想歪了.她宣传的任何东西都过于夸张.让人感觉不舒服. -toronto12345(toronto123); 2006-5-17 (#2975802@0)

北京话叫"满嘴跑火车". -super_7(649); 2006-5-17 (#2975844@0)

并非针对新概念的工作人员,sorry, 别误会,我正准备去上Jerry 的课. 我只是对楼上兄弟意思作土语话. -super_7(649); 2006-5-17 (#2976588@0)

请教SENECA的PRONUNICIATION课好在哪里?使用的什么教材,方法? -peteqiang(pete); 2006-5-16 (#2973410@0)

我上过。我班的那个年轻白人女老师没什么经验。所以效果一点也不好。也许真得中国人教中国人才好。 -mine888(mine); 2006-5-17 (#2975859@0)

Yes, Jerry is very intelligent and know how to teach Chinese student. His class is the best English class. -neww(sleepy); 2006-5-17 (#2975991@0)

There is an article about Jerry at last weekend's Toronto Sun. This article talks about Jerry's success at Canada. -xiaoyanfeifei(sara); 2006-5-17 (#2977046@0)
