1. 什么是口音：
intonation（cadence）patterns
liaison：rhythm

3. VQ：
throaty sound and a stairstep intonation
We create most of our sounds in the throat, using our tongue very actively.

8. /ʌ/ /ə/ only linguistic difference
9. /ɑ:/和/ɔ:/不做区分，除非 /ɑ:r//ɔ:r/
10. underlying hum 不要一个词一个词往外蹦
11. 不断练习
go-to phrase (Bob got a water bottle. Sam sat back and laughed. Rory run around.) 找调。

以及绕口令

其他takeaways
1. A driving instructor cannot hope to teach all driving manoeuvres that exist to a student, yet those they do teach will enable the student to cope on the road and give them the confidence to discover more as they gain experience.
2. Language is fluent and fluid. Be water!
