I was wondering if had any one had samples of a Diagnostic passage they use for their students while teaching them pronunciation? I'm currently forming a presentation and need an example outside of the textbook my class is using. Any thoughts?

I always just assume that unless they've studied overseas (and then usually still) they'll have trouble with individual consonants not found in Korean like f,v,th and hard and soft "o", but especially consonant clusters where they try to break up a word or extend it using (으 and 이)
