Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.

Though the story is set at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books" such as The Big Read. It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes. To date, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide.

Что я могу сказать? Мне нравится этот курс. Его основа: Intermediate (B1-B2) - самая сильная и полезная книга.  Охватывает разные аспекты: звуки, ударение, ритм. Я тоже отрабатывала произношение по этим материалам. И если действительно задаться целью, то результат будет! С учениками я не вдаюсь в детали теории, а концентрирую внимание на аудио упражнениях. Их вполне достаточно.

Уровень Advanced предлагает нам познакомиться уже с более серьезными вещами: акценты, скорость, заглатывание звуков. Этот курс подходит уже самым любопытным. Кто действительно много внимания уделяет произношению.

Documentary: The Superior human?

Documentary - for Intermediate-Advanced learners

Personally I found many interesting ideas about animal creatures and our place into the Earth eco-system.

"The Superior human?" (March 2012) is the first documentary to systematically challenge the common human belief that humans are superior to other life forms. The documentary reveals the absurdity of this belief while exploding human bias.

Featuring Dr Bernard Rollin, Gary Yourofsky Dr Richard Ryder, Dr Steven Best. Narrated by Dr Nick Gylaw.

"The Superior human?" is dedicated to 2012 Earth April (EA) which includes Earth Day and World Lab Animal Day.
