Pronunciation
- In the following aural discrimination tests you will hear two short phrases with a pause before and after each version. During that pause you are to repeat what you hear; the whole set will be repeated again: the second time through you are to writethe untranscribed portion of each phrase in the proper blank. Each phrase in 01 is matched by a similar but not identical phrase in 02. Do not wait until you hear the phrase in 02 before writing the word in 01. If, after hearing the phrase in 02, you change your mind about the correct transcription of the form in 01, do not erase that form. Simply write in your later decision about your earlier one.
