Practice Video: Basic Conversation
This video is great for practicing speaker designations, especially if you’ve recently advanced from theory. It’s a good video to get you comfortable using Q & A symbols. A third party even interjects a couple of times.
Here are some briefs for some of the words that come up in the video:
graduate= GRAUT
river= RIFR
study= STOI
o’clock= KLK
jump= JUFRP
fiction= F*IBGS

Video: Light-Medical Q & A (100, 110, 120)
I used this as my warm-up practice today. This is light-medical testimony.
This testimony practice contains the terms: chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and Indocin.
Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania is defined as follows on Wikipedia: “Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH), also known as Sjaastad syndrome, is a severe debilitating unilateral headache, usually affecting the area around the eye. Unlike migraine it has NO neurological symptoms associated with it. It normally consists of multiple severe yet short headache attacks. These attacks normally will only affect one side of the cranium, hence the term hemicrania. It is more common in females than males. CPH headaches are treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in particular indomethacin, which is usually totally effective in eliminating the symptoms.”
