I'll try to imitate


by the way,
Because we don't have any words which stop consonant, it's very difficult to pronounce foreign language

I asked my cousin to say [ofn]/[oftn]
and he said [0ftOn] neither [ofn] nor [oftn] but [oftOn]
Of course we can day if we train or learn proper pronounciation, but very difficult to say without Japanese accent
I hope mine have not so many vowels when I speak English

my dear lady, it is a pity that we can only write and do not have audio on hootoo, then I could speak to you and you could then hear our dialect

Prof.
Indeed, if we could do audio chat on hootoo, we could speak in real time
I really want you to listen to me and check my horrible English
Then I'll speak to you in Japanese, our dialect

do you go on MSN and have a mike

I HAVE

I installed Yahoo messenger, MSN messenger, AIM and SKYPE

Have you got one?
I prefer SKYPE or Yahoo as MSN is full of VIRUS

If you have one, then we can speak through the messenger.
The thing is we have 8 hour time differences

I only have MSN messenger, but I will install Skype and let you know when its up and running, its still free I think, if you go to my p/space, down near the bottom is a email address, I use it for 1st contact,you can send me your email address, I can then send you my proper address.
I have to go now, I'm cutting a neighbours hedge as she can not do it herself

..........

I sent you e-mail

As to SKYPE, I don't know why, but most my British friends have problem with it.
The way of installing and running is the same with other messengers.
Just check your nickname, password, and preference, options.
You click skype then it'll run, maybe ask your nickname and password.
then it'll run

Now, I've got another messenger friend

on and done, mail on its way

HURRAY

I'll be waiting for your invitation

It's 22.02 herre, 14.02 there
Sleep time and tea time

everything is now sorted

It's midnight there, morning here

Still my student has dificulties to pronounce like "sh" soudn and "s" sound
she can't say
she sells see shells by the sea shore

I have to tell children tomorrow the longer one;
Peter Piper Picked a Pickled Pepper...

Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers
But Where's the Peck of Pickled Peppers Peter Piper Picked?

Then....
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper.
Where's the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked?

Found another one
from http://www.oink.demon.co.uk/fun/tt/tonguet.htm#A
How many cans can a canner can, if a canner can can cans?
A canner can can as many cans as a canner can, if a canner can can cans.

Voilà pour Cyzaki French Tongue Twister

Je suis ce que je suis et si je suis ce que je suis, qu'est-ce que je suis?

Gros gras grand grain d'orge, tout gros-gras-grand-grain-d'orgerisé, quand te dé-gros-gras-grand-grain-d'orgeriseras-tu? Je me dé-gros-gras-grand-grain-d'orgeriserai quand tous les gros gras grands grains d'orge se seront dé-gros-gras-grand-grain-d'orgerisés.

No! I can't do French tongue-twisters We did some in class and I just can't say any of them!

Neither do I
Indeed it's really cnfused thing.

How about Japanese tongue twister?

I think Japanese ones would be easier, as Japanese sounds are harder to get mixed up, but post one and I'll see if I can say it!
