Pronunciation raps

Discovered a new resource that is a poetry and rhyme based approach to pronunciation and used one of the exercises at my student's graduation ceremony. It was a HUGE success.

The work we were doing was how to listen  to and understand fast, spoken Australian and linked expressions such as:
What are you doing - whatcha doin
Did you want to go out to dinner - didja wanna go ta dinner or even dja wanna
Where do you want to go - Where dja wanna go.

Listen and enjoy and beat out the rhythm

Chinatown

 Where dja wanna go       Whatcha wanna do

I’m not sure now       I’ll leave it ta you

Dja wanna go ta town       ta see a show

I don’t know now     but I’ll let you know

Can’t ya tell me right away

I’m not sure yet      do I have to say

Where dja wanna meet     won’t ya tell me where

Let’s just meet in Leicester square

Did ya tell the others       where we’re going ta meet

I said in the centre      didn’t say which street

Dja wanna have a meal or      dja like ta sit down

YA fancy a meal in Chinatown

Whacha recommend and      where dja like ta dine

Here’s very good       the fish is fine

How’s the fish cooked      with lots a spice

Just a bit a ginger     it’s really nice

Whatcha like ta drink      whenya eat chinese

Just a pot a tea       it’s sure ta please

How dja like the meat       dja like the fish

It was really great       what’s the name a the dish

I don’t know the name      it wasn’t written down

It’s often the way in Chinatown

Watch this space for more of these!!!!
