RE: Listening Reinforcement

yep i was advised to repeat what i thought i heard too also to talk out

loud to myself especially when i was having difficulties between letter sounds

sounds of " R " and " W " i was having a hard time so during the day i

would make up nonsense sentences like Ron won really wacky rally wild roads

it was to train my brain to tell the difference honestly i think it

helped i still find myself doing it there are many many words i never

heard before and i used to mispronounce then now when i hear the correct

pronunciation i tend to say it out loud again and again so i often look

like a crazy lady walking around

but it works

Lee,

This is great advice! I'm going to try it myself. I do the same

thing--say " what " automatically, without really trying to process what I

heard. Sorry I don't have any tricks for breaking the habit. If you

get any good ones, please share!
