Hello guys,
LET'S GET STARTED !!!!!
Since we all will work together, we should first of all introduce ourselves, which I personally consider the best start.
Dear members, your FIRST TASK will be to introduce yourself, to tell us something about you, be it private information or some general introduction - it is up to you.
I hope you will be not afraid of this task because in my opinion atmosphere of this group will be more friendly, if we know at least something about each other from the beginning.
As for this task I made one decission and I hope you will still like me - this time there won't be any text to read because I simply consider basic introduction the most important thing and everybody including the beginners should be able to say: "My name is...... , I am ...... years old and I live in ....., my hobbies are... " etc.
In case you would feel little bit lost, you can check these links :

Let me add that it is up to you - you can read the text you prepared or you can talk by heart.
And the last but not least, I would be glad, if every new member would go through this task, so that we would get to know something about them, no matter if it is in two weeks or two months.

tintin, great you joined us!!! I understood you each and every word and I find your pronouncation totally ok, so don´t hesitate to talk plz ;-)
Thanks Luzzi for your encouraging words :D
Here is my recording.
Happy speaking for all!
Rajesh,
thanx for recording yourself and joining this group. Thank you also for supportive end of your record, hope it will motivate others :-) Don´t worry, the more you will record yourself, the better it will be. You asked to correct you - so I will mention the words, you should focus on their pronouncation if you dont mind it, ok?
Focuse on these words plz:
pronouncation of G - age, technology, engineering
another group of words where I heard that you don´t pronounce SH :
motivational, prounoncation, information (technology), meditation
Let me record them for you - here you are:

Thanx for overcoming your fear and for joining us once more again :-)
Thank you so much for dragging my attention to /ʃ/and /ʒ/ sound. These are sounds on which I still need more practice. I am glad you did it for me, dear Luzzi. Thank you again! :)

Here it is, Luzzi. I tried a million times to embed from audioboo but it just wasn't working. I'm just attaching the file here.
ANELE, you can run but you can't hide! NEEEEXXXXT!!!!
I thought you were a singer...
Anyways, you have the voice. You seem to be a very cool person with your perfect rendition of your amazing introduction. I have a feeling that you were not really prepared.......................................
to escape from this!
I won't hide because there's nowhere to hide. I got money to hire someone to do the recording for me. Luzzi never said that it was forbidden!
In just a short while dear, my hired speaker has not yet come.....
