Publisher: Various companies
Size: 141 Mb (27 VDO files)
Format: Video file
Quality: Very good
Language: American English

I’m particulary interested in Phonics because it helps me improve my spoken English a lot. Before I got to know about phonics, my American host dad said I spoke English as if I copied from a book. It just didn’t sound natural at the time. I learned that my weakest point in spoken English was my pronunciation. Of course, I still can’t ditch the accent of my mother tongue but it’s not as strong as you often hear from some non-native English speakers.

These Phonics Video Collection features: [+/-]

• A B C song
• Alphabet and Letter Sounds
• Blends and Digraphs
• Vowel sounds
• Consonant sounds
• Accent Reduction
• etc.
