Guest talker (wed[24])Singalong

Ask questions for the talker.

How singing helps you talkWrite questions during the talk, not afterwards. Writing
questions during the talk lets you learn more from the talk.
Use this skill in your other classes and for work.

Some sounds at the ends of words separate from theirwords, and instead attach to sounds at the beginning of
the next words. For instance, "such a" becomes "su cha",and "not a" becomes "no ta".
Singing helps us focus on these changes in sound,because you sing the sounds on different musical notes.
You can tell whether the sounds are attached to thecorrect word.
Because you can tell when you are singing correctly, you
can practice saying sounds by singing by yourself. You
do not need a teacher all the time.
Once you learn how to say them, you can also hear them.
Singing is one way to help you talk better.

Follow Naomi Suzaki's instructions.
