July 31, 2007, 02:55 PMMike, How did the beer get in there? I wonder what lesson with Jenny and I would be like after a few beers... Just wondering!

July 31, 2007, 04:20 AMThx, Mark. I appreciate that. It struck me that if you made a quick note here whenever you'd voted it would keep the thread on the top of the Conversations pile, thereby encouraging others to do so. I believe the thing will conclude in 15 days.

July 31, 2007, 05:36 PM+1 from me for the PodCastAwards. Are there any lessons with tongue twisters in? I found a website a while ago with some on, there was one about ten stone lions being dead or something. I'd had real problems trying to enunciate a new phrase to my chinese language partner. (I've duly forgotten what it was now but it had one of the xi, si, shi, or qi, sounds in it and I clearly couldn't get my teeth into it). As a punishment for laughing at me I thought I'd get him back by making him read tongue twisters... It never happend in the end, but it made my think of my sisters elocution lessons, perhaps reciting tongue twisters along with Cpod dialogues might exercise those muscles we non-native speakers don't have. At least you might have fun imagining all the poddies spluttering impossible phrases while listening. 麦克

August 01, 2007, 03:15 AM+1 a day from me, Feast0ff00ls (GLBT) (People Choice) They are asking their listners to vote everyday, AND.. they say You can vote more by using a different computer, with a different IP address. How messed up is that? Chinesepod will always be the best podcast i hope Chinesepod wins!!!

August 01, 2007, 05:43 AMHi guys, thanks for the vote! Hehe... got my vote in today as well (but I am honest to PodcastAwards.com and mention that I'm part of the team). :-)

August 01, 2007, 06:04 AMWait wait wait, before we vote any more, I think ChinesePod needs to write a 200 or less (or more) word essay on what they will do with a laptop desk, which is the prize for best Education podcast. :) Ken?

July 31, 2007, 03:29 PMKen, that idea is pure gold. I love experimental shows. To make it more concrete: Take a native speaker and a foreigner (e.g. John or Dave), give them a short dialogue. Best served with a tongue twister. Let them drink half a liter beer each. Repeat. Afterwards analyze the effects on: - grammar - tones - overall sillyness By the way: Voted again.
