Hi. I'm Tim and this is my pronunciation workshop. Here I'm going to show you how English is really spoken. Come on, let's go inside. Wow. Isn't the world an amazing place? Look how many countries there are! Well – at least ten! Do you like travelling? How many countries have you visited? Now, is there any particular place, or country, that you'd like to visit? This is what the people of London told us when we asked them that same question.
