Billie is a certified CELTA English teacher trainer and has over 17 years of teaching experience. In this video we are going to practise the pronunciation of the two common word endings -age & -able. They also exist as words in their own right: a noun and an adjective. However, the pronunciation is very different from their suffix pronunciation. Let’s practise together so you get them right! Scroll down for example sentences.
