Practice Video: 4-Voice

Here‘s a great video that I practiced to today. I LOVE practicing to these “learn English” videos. In this particular video there are 4 voices. However, the conversation is spoken in 3-voice; a narrator is also present.

While practicing to this video, I used the following designations:

The question bank= Elena
The answer bank= Agatha
SKWRAO= Victor
The Judge (KORT/KORT)= Gabrielle, the narrator

Here are some briefs from some of the terms and phrases spoken in the video:

delicious= DLIRBS
I’m sorry= AOIMS
good night= GAOIT
darling= DARLG
custom= KUFM
especially= EP
somebody else= SBLS
possessive= PEFS
masculine= SKLIN
goodbye= GAOIB
good morning= GORNG
part time= POIM
native= NAIFT
Washington, D.C.= WARBDZ
weekend= WEND
how old= HOLD
thank you= THAUNG
do you remember= DOURM
French= FREFP
in my opinion= NAOIP
relax= RAEK

[SIDEBAR: At approximately the 13 minute 20 second mark, there is practice for the days of the week. At approximately the 14 minute 30 second mark, there is practice for numbers one through twelve.]

It feels great to be officially back from vacation. I got a decent amount of practice in amongst all the resting and relaxing…My husband had me practicing to old episodes of Perry Mason during our vacation. It was great practice too. I guess I know what DVD box set I’m getting for Christmas as a stocking-stuffer. Lol.
