Beginning of second I say...

Skimble! Say hello to the camera!

This is Skimble, he's just been sitting under the tap in the bathroom for some reason - who knows.


(Side note: The cat has this habit of drinking water from the sink rather than the bowl of water he has!!!)

And the end of the first one I say....


Anyway, thats about it! My very untidy house with my washing all ready to go the dry cleaners and in the washing (machine), my band jacket from earlier - very bad

(I have a formal jacket I war to gigs and competitions that looks like this... )



Anyway I'll go just now, speak to you later. Bye!

Is that too little of the start and end of each? need more!?!

I understood it the second time, your diction is very precise...different from how we talk...

I love your accent and the way your tone goes up at the end on some words...very pleasing to listen to

Interesting to get a non Scottish POV on the accent - so how is my diction precise? what words does my tone go up in that you wouldn't?

Intreigued now!!

ok...4 seconds in when you say 'camera'....you say c-a-m-e-r-a going up slightly at the end (each letter distinct)....I would say cam-erah with the empahsis on the 'cam' (cam one sound and erah another)

if that makes any sense...

more?? (I really dont' want to offend you, I hope I havent)

You know what would be fun? If we all read a segment of a poem or something so we could all hear the difference in the accents!!

 :laugh: :laugh:

we could do a reading of Brokeback Mountain!!

It's funny all this talk of diction.One of the things my 2 youngest have to learn as part of language arts,is not only the spelling,definition,whether it is noun  etc, but where the stress is in each word.I cannot help at all with that part, as the stress part of the word is totally different in America cf England.
A very simple example that bugs me is Oregano, here the stress is on reg. in England it is on gan.

Ok.....pick a segment of the book, and we can all do a video reading the same part.....

Now..so we wont spend a week deciding on which part of the book, I am going to take the initiative, and pick out something......

ok........from the paragraph that starts...You been a Mexico Jack?...ending with I wish I knew how to quit you

Everyone got that......hopefullly it will only take a week for us all to get them in......should be fun.....
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection
