Do you agree that knowing a language is rather important?

PRONUNCIATION- Words ending in "tion"

Why is it sometimes so difficult to pronounce some English sounds?

This time we´ll practice the sound of the consonant "t" in words ending in "-tion".
First let´s watch the following video:

Can you think about some other English words with this ending "-ion"?
Write them down and practice the pronunciation.

Let´s keep on practicing. This time we´ll listen to a song by The Beatles "Revolution"

Try to write down the lyrics of the song.

Now, let´s check watching the following video:

and.....MORE PRACTICE.....now with a song "Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones
