British Accent vs American Accent Funny.flv on Veehd

British Accent vs American Accent Funny.flv

Since our guest who is doing next week's class is British I'd like you to all adjust your pronunciation so as to make Clive feel at home...  This li-(tt)-le guide will help you.  Please leave a comment to say what you think!

Remember.... homework... before the end of the year...
1) book blurbs --  coming???  (two or three paragraphs and a section with nice expressions... either explained in English or used in a little text or story).
2) feedback on the CCC project on survey monkey (Valeh... you shouldn't have to retype everything again... just use the same IP and add your name! if it doesn't work contact me... maybe I can add your name as admin.)
3) post at least one Ted talk to the blog with a paragraph about why you chose it... (Which ones of the 1500 tedtalks online are really good??  What is your favorite!)

I invited the four of you that weren't yet "contributors" to the blog. You should be able to accept the invite. (If there's a problem any of the others can invite you again since everyone is an admin.)

The agenda for our last 4 classes....
1) Clive's class....  "Welcome to Britain"
2) After Clive's class next week, we'll have a class where (finally) Ali gets to speak and where Charles is preparing a blind test for us...
3) Then the following class Gilles and Damien will give their talk and also Valeh and Agathe will get to organize an activity for us.
4) Then in our last class...  Felix and Nicolas and ???? will get to organize an activity for the group and I can give you my grammar test!

any other suggestions or suggestions?  (comments and posts on the blog now go to the whole group..)  (don't be a lurker... do it!)

have a nice long weekend
