Listen to a new episode of Speak English Now Podcast, your favorite material for practicing your spoken and heard English. You will also learn about lifestyle and culture, language, vocabulary and how to improve your English more effectively.
Transcript:
Hi everyone! I’m Georgiana; founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.
- Today I’ll talk about the connectors, those words that help us to better structure what we say.
- Next, of course, we’ll practice with an exclusive lesson from the point of view story.
I’ll just go ahead and start talking about connectors. But don’t worry, I’m not gonna give any grammatical theory here 🙂 As usual, I’ll give you some examples, and then you’ll practice the connectors in context with the point of view story.
Connectors are merely words that help structure what you say or write.
Only by using a few connectors, you can significantly improve your fluency and expressivity.Â
Let’s take a look at some of the best-known connectors:
When we want to add something, we use words like BESIDES, ALSO and MOREOVER.
For example:
“I don’t want to go to the movies. Besides, it’s late now.”
“I want a cake and an ice cream also.”
“He didn’t like the birthday party. Moreover, he had to cancel his romantic date.”

THE FLUENCY COURSE
Hello! Sorry, but I think in the audio the word -either- is being mispronouced.
Hi Bianca. Please use a proper dictionary like this one and listen to the two pronunciations, I usually use the American version http://www.dictionary.com/browse/either?s=t
Thanks Georgiana
I like the clear Pronounction.

Hola Georgiana, muy agradecido con usted por permitirme sus podcast, pues hasta hora he mejorado bastante mi oĂdo y lectura del ingles. El curso encantado lo ve muy interesante, pero al igual que el anterior no dispongo de recursos para adquirirlo; la realidad venezolana cada dĂa es mas trágica y dramática. Gracias por su ayuda. ContinĂşe tan bien como va. Éxitos Ă©xitos Ă©xitos…..Dios la bendiga, y le mantenga esa capacidad de ayudar con tanta facilidad a que otros podamos aprender ingles, entre otros idiomas que nos gustarĂa aprender.
