Thanks!

Many many thanks to all those who participated in the potluck on the last day of class.  There was lots of delicious food... I will be waiting for that apple tart recipe. ;-) I loved this class because of its wonderful students!  Thank you for being so great!

Thursday - May 25th

What will you bring to class on our last day?

Please comment below.

I'll go first:
Noosha will bring plates, spoons, forks, knives, cups, and water.
She will also bring an appetizer: yogurt, sliced almonds, raisins...

Speech Practice

You have all read the speech and are aware of your pronunciation issues. 
Practice.  Practice.  Practice.
You will read/present the same speech again next Thursday.
Then you will read a new text... hopefully without repeating the same pronunciation errors.

Music... Songs... Lyrics...
