Learning English pronunciation


Hello! Hello ... Hello!!!
I just had the most fun listening to Steve Martin 
playing the character of Inspector Clouseau
in the remake of the movie The Pink Panther.
I thought it would be GOOD FUN to pass it along to you!
Start your weekend off with a good old BELLY LAUGH!!
Also to make you feel better about 
your French accent when speaking English.
Nothing like a bit of exaggeration and sillyness 
to show you how your pronunciation is really 
NOT THAT BAD!!!


In the movie he is going to America,
so he is looking for a speech coach 
to help him with his pronunciation.
The title of the out-take is:
"I would like to buy a hamburger ..."

HAVE FUUUUNN!!!
SUZANNE




                         BY THE WAY ...
 How do you like to eat your 'burger'??

These are the words in the famous MacDonald's jingle for the BigMac:
Try to say these in ONE WORD, because that's how it was created!!!
 Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, 
onions - all on a sesame seed bun 
How about that for an exercise in pronunciation!!!
