To find out Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Vocabulary with me, Neil.
And me, Catherine.
And today we're talking about how to pronounce words that begin with the letter C. We'll look at lots of examples.

So, to start off, let's listen to Maria.
She works in a circus.
Now, do you like circuses, Catherine?
When I was a kid, I think I wanted to join a circus.
These days, I'm not so sure.
Performing animals are not my thing, really.
OK. Well, Maria is a circus performer.
She's not an animal.
And we're going to hear her talking about how she started in the job.
And here's a question to think about while you listen.
What didn't Maria do at weekends?
Here she is.
I started performing in my family's circus when I was nine years old.
I loved it.
