Hi Andrea,

I use ā€˜Audacityā€™ to record messages. You can download it free. Itā€™s an excellent programme. I even mixed some tracks I played on my saxophone. Itā€™s really great. :+1:

Hi Tim, just sharing the transcript the group has created within a couple of minutesā€¦

Hello everyone,
my name is Tim, iā€™m originally from the United States and iā€™ve spent the last 4 years teaching english as a second language in Thailand. In my free time i talked myself in Thai because i know it would be useful for me speaking with locals who couldnā€™t english themselves. When I first started learning Thai, I knew I had my work cut out for me because i struggled learning spanish in high school. I really had a hard time with the thai language at first and can remember really being afraid of making mistakes and speaking with the locals. But i think this where we all do most of the learning through our mistakes. In fact, it may be nearly impossible to learn a language without exploring and discovering how it can and canā€™t be used. So my advice to all of you: is donā€™t be afraid to mess up, to misspeak, to be misunderstood and this is just part of the long process of mastering a language and as IT professionals take advantage of the opportunities that you have, to practice your english and do the activities that make learning languages enjoyable to you, whatever pursuit your interests and learning style. So I wish you all success in your language Learning and good luck.

Hi all! I love this idea, Iā€™ll make sure to add my own recording soon, Thatā€™s a great approach to exercise! I can attest to the fact that my own English picked up considerably after I started talking to people, out loud, especially with foreigners!

Best - Very few times
Worst (cruelty - original nature etc) - All the times
Almost all the time these Progressive and Secular and Liberal Jouralists trying to create a wrong picture. Do not believe that blindly.
I worked as a Journalist in a Telugu new paper, so I know how these Parasites (Journalists) live
