Now I’m familiar with the terms extroverts and introverts. Some people think introverts are individuals who are very shy and aren’t social. This is a misconception! Introverts are individuals who need some time alone to recharge their energy. They like to be around people, and it’s fun to hang out with them, but sometimes they prefer to be alone. This may be difficult for an extrovert to understand.
Everyone has different pronunciation challenges. Which ones are important for you?
- ch and j (extrovert, introvert, individuals, recharge, energy)
- sh (shy, social, misconception)
- th (the, think, they)
- s at the end of a word (terms, extroverts, introverts)
- r after a vowel (familiar, term, extroverts, introverts)
Read and focus on the bold words.
