|One of the basic and greatest tools to start improving pronunciation is to listen a lot of videos or podcasts or any other oral sources in |

|your daily life. |

|Here you have some interesting articles about the importance of the pronunciation and some sources that can help you to improve it. |

Man overboard is a situation in which a person has fallen from a boat or slipped into the water and is in need of rescue. Whoever sees the person's fall should shout "man overboard" ("man” here meaning "person") to alert other crew members and attempt to maintain visual contact with the person in the water. Pointing continuously at the victim can aid the helmsman in approaching the victim. (From Wikipedia)
