ACTIVITIES:
1- Listen to the song carefully, trying to perceive the differences in vowel quality.
2- Complete the missing words in conventional writing
3- Complete all the missing vowels / diphthongs / triphthongs
4- Transcribe each line using the phonetic symbols (pay attention to vowels / diphthongs / triphthongs)
5- What are the words the singer mispronounces? Why do you think he does so? Are there any word/sound he
doesn’t pronounce at all? Does the notion of “economy of the language” tell you something?
6- GOOD LUCK!
