Try a new story: The Kitchen Sink, The Budget and Letters with H. These stories teach basic American English pronunciation rules. Watch videos and repeat lists of common words at: 500 Words Practice: Long Vowels and 500 Words Practice: Short Vowels.  Remember: it is best to pronounce a language correctly from the beginning.  The ESL stories can also be used to teach grammar. The sentences are simple. They can be transformed into questions or used as a basic structure for learning word order in sentences. Many adult English language students will learn English grammar easier through modeling the sentence structure. Modeling is the age-old technique for learning another language.
