Pronunciation New Year resolutions
I went to a new gym yesterday to take out a membership and as I work flexible hours can go to the gym at down times. I asked the young manager when would be a good time to come, that is when there are not so many people. he said at the moment with all the New Year resolutions still fresh it's pretty full nearly all day.
So while there is still a New Year resolution feel in the air let's make some pronunciation training New Year resolutions.

here are a few slowing down tips.
