Today I wanted to post two "songs" which are used in schools in English speaking countries to show the pronunciation effect of silent <e> at the end of words. We talked a bit about this in Advanced Level 1 A; I'll comment on it in the CAL group next week.
They're songs for children, I know... But they're rather catchy! And they can help you too! :)
