What about Slow Speech?
When you are learning English as a second language ( ESL ), it can be really frustrating to have to hear English speakers who omit consonants, never take a breath between words or phrases, and who just simply speak too quickly!
Here is a useful link for an affordable way to hear English spoken on a variety of interesting topics:
The Vancouver Institute
The Vancouver Institute provides Fall and Spring Saturday Lectures for the Public. Check out the topics planned for this season!
And, a word to the wise......bring a book to read while you are waiting. Leave home early and get to the lecture theatre well in advance of the starting time. Relax with your book, and when the room fills up around you, don't gloat! Just enjoy the Featured Speaker, and learn new vocabulary and phrases from an excellent source.
