What is the difference?
I respond well, not always but often ...
The fact is that not just the feel, the difference between the 'c' and the 'g' dental (curtains instead is quite clear), I mean. And how do you explain a sound? It 's like to see a note in a tune, you sing it to him and he imitates you, also convinced of it ... and instead caught the ear, this amazing machine, it records but it is the brain that processes the sound and if the brain does not re-know, there are stories. We must teach them. Yes, but how? With exercise, the exercise so much. Little by little they will understand the difference and slowly begin to know how to play. Although, having an accent in a foreign language is not so bad. Unless they make you incomprehensible, you connotes a certain difference. Once at the supermarket, from Kroger, America, the clerk asked me where it came from an accent so 'cool' (and yet for non-native, this 'accent' is not detectable). I do not know, maybe it was a way as another way to pick up, but I personally like the difference tout court, and when my students (All adults and vaccinated), I say 'good is parmiciano!' I smile. On the other hand I also have their own difficulties. I find it difficult to reproduce naturally the 'h' or point out the difference between O and O but also U and U. An effort that did not feel for the diphthongs in French. I do not know, but certainly learning a language at 10 years changes a lot the ability to absorb and imitate the sound by the brain.
We adults thrown in between other adults so alike and so different, we have no choice but to try, throw and smile every time I make mistakes. I've never been so clear as now, how important in life, not take themselves too seriously, even if you teach at the university.
