Step 1. Transcribe the following excerpt from the song “Something just like this” by Coldplay
and the Chainsmokers.

But she said, where'd you wanna go?

How much you wanna risk?
I'm not lookin' for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairy-tale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Step 2. Give a copy of this text to a native speaker. Keep a copy for yourself. Read the song out
loud to a native speaker, so s/he underlines the words you said incorrectly. Ask him/her to tell
you what you said wrong.

Write the words you said incorrectly here: (if no words are added in this step for whichever
reason, you will have to send me the audio of your reading)

Fairy- Turn Comentado [DP6]: it is hard to tell which words in Step 3 are
to practice the sound here….none of them actually!

It is sound ɝ

Step 3. Find 10 words in that contain the sounds you said incorrectly and practice them at home.
