The sensual pleasure of pronunciation: mastering the use of the tongue

How to learn and improve quickly your phonetic skills: from basic concepts to tones and unusual sounds. The conference is in English, Spanish, French and Italian.
We will see some secrets and techniques to reach a good pronunciation in many languages. We will analyse some basic concepts, doing practical exercises with our voices, and examples in several languages. We will introduce tones (like in Mandarin) and we will finish trying out some unusual sounds like bilabial trills, implosives and clicks (like the famous kiss click!).
