Now, the fun part and you know what that means: SONGS!!!!!

Song 1: The Boy Does Nothing

Notice the way she says: 'Does he brush up?' Never brushed up' /brʌʃtʌp/

Song 2: Because you loved me

Please, do notice the pronunciation of irregular verbs such as SAID /sed/ or BROUGHT /brɔ:t/and the pronunciation of regular verb such as BLESSED /blest/ or LOVED /lʌvd/.Besides, there are other aspects of English pronunciation that you should pay attention to, for instance, when she says "I'M EVERYTHING I AM BECAUSE OF YOU" /ɑɪmevrɪθɪŋ/.

Song 3: You are beautiful

I suppose you paid attention to the pronunciation of the past, didn't you?

I saw /sɔ:/ your face in a crowded /kraʊdɪd/ place.

She smiled at /smaɪldət/ me on the subway.

She caught /kɔ:t/ my eye as I walked /wɔ:ktɒn/ on by.

Song 4: This Old Guitar

Lots of examples of both regular and irregular verbs pronunciation.
