VOA Learning English continues to set a high standard for ESL resources, particularly with their 'How to Pronounce' series. From a linguistic perspective, the decision to maintain a deliberate, slowed-down pace—approximately two-thirds the speed of natural conversation—is highly effective for learners transitioning from A2 to B1 levels. The recent 'Exaggeration Activities' video is a notable example of kinetic learning applied to phonology. By encouraging learners to over-articulate, they are effectively building muscle memory for phonemes that may not exist in their native inventory. This methodical approach to grammar and pronunciation provides a structured environment that is significantly more effective than unstructured immersion for long-term retention
