A classic: verb+ed pronunciation

Regular past tenses in English can have three different pronunciations:

• /id/ verbs ending in sound t or d
• /d/ (no extra syllable!!!!)
• /t/ (no extra syllable!!!!)

The pronunciation /ed/ is NEVER used.
Take a look at this website to get more information

Interesting app to learn languages

Duolinguo is an interesting and free app to learn languages. For me, the main disadvantage is that is relies too much on translation...and as I always say, speaking a language has nothing to do with translation.
Anyway, the app is interesting and it can help you in other aspects during your learning process.
