Renate, you sound like one of the girls from Girl's Generation :P
To be honest, Korean sounds much more pleasant to my ears than Chinese does. I'll take up Korean at some later point:) Good idea using soundcloud to upload recordings by the way. I'll follow your example once my exams are over... Edited by BloodyChinese on 18 January 2013 at 10:05pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Renate, I'm so jealous of your presentation! I'm totally impressed by the accent and how natural it seems to be for you. Is it scripted? (If so, how long did you prepare?). Did you record several times?
I'm really bashing my head against the wall, trying to record something decent for Minnanhua... :( (oh, and it may serve a bit as inspiration for my presentation... :$ unless it's against the rules or you have a dozen of lawyers to sue me) Edited by vermillon on 19 January 2013 at 12:23am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Renate - sweet presentation! After hearing yours I was inspired to do mine. So here it is, I wasn't sure how I
should do it, so I wrote it out in English and then read it and translated it out loud. My speed is not very good at the best of times so excuse the robotic feel to it! Anything that is wrong please correct me https://soundcloud.com/jonathan-stock-1/tac-1st-challenge English - Hi everyone. I'm Jonny. I am 24 years old. I live in Cambodia, but I am from England. I have been learning Chinese for a few months. My Chinese isn't very good yet. I like Chinese because it has tones and characters. Both of these are a new challenge for me. Another language I would like to be able to speak is Cantonese. In the future I want to be able to speak 5 languages. I have a wife, she is half Khmer and half Chinese. She speaks Chinese, and so she can help me study Chinese. Before she helped me study Khmer, and now we only speak Khmer together. I am very excited about the TAC this year. I hope we can all improve together. Thanks for listening. Bye 7 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hi, I have a question: why do I have a 牛 near my name in the first page? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Because you completed the challenge. Every month has its animal (just like every year does), and it's a sort of "badge" you get for completing the challenges. It's explained somewhere in the 20 pages of this thread :D
Good work, js6426! Your tones seem pretty accurate :-) Keep up with that! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks! I think that's why I speak so slowly, I really try and get the tones spot on. My hope is that with time I will speed up naturally and keep getting the tones correct! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Renate, that was a great audio, you sounded really Korean to me. Congrats! I was debating doing an audio myself but I probably won't because I haven't practiced speaking Korean at all. Maybe in a later challenge.

That's precisely why you should record something, to push yourself practising :-) Join the fun! 2 persons have voted this message useful |
