Hello Friends and Colleagues,  

 

We have just returned from the International Medical Interpreters imiaAssociation (IMIA) Conference in Miami, Florida. We are invigorated by the enthusiastic response to our workshop and materials. We are happy to have met so many wonderful, dedicated, and caring interpreter/trainer professionals. Welcome to our ESL RULES community!

How Do We Pronounce "S?" Is it "s" or "z"?  
s and z 

Although we have focused on 23 stress and pronunciation rules in our RULES programs, we are always searching for new rules to make speaking English a little more logical. Click here to read our blog and feel free to post any comments or any pronunciation discoveries that you would like to share. We look forward to hearing from you!
