- 20 minutes Speaking: Repeat
after the speaker in the sound files,
and record your voice using Audacity. Focus on dialogue two. Play back
each sentence to match your pronunciation with the native speaker. Do each
sentence several times until your pronunciation is as close as possible.
Then, open this sound file
page and answer the questions verbally based on the dialogue (or real life
where applicable). Export the files as MP3 (for file format section V1)
and save them in the Jacob Students folder as before.
