Feb 1, Unique Buisness Cards

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:49:41 GMT

How can you make an impression?

I have been using Moo Cards to make an impression with my students and clients for the past three years and I thought I would tell you about them. I discovered them via facebook and I am so glad that I did.

Many people are bored with white business cards that lack color and personality but along came moo!

If you are looking for a new way to represent yourself then look no further. I made some mini cards for my freelance teaching and my website and everyone always has the same reaction, "wow, what cute cards!"

They are simple to make, affordable and are delivered directly to your home.

What more could you ask for?

I hope you enjoy them just as much as I do.

(I love them so much that we used the postcards as our wedding invitations...they were wonderful and affordable!)

Visit their easy to use site today and make an impression!

All the best,

Diana Tower

Jan 17, "Pay as you go" MP3 Pronunciation Course!

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 14:41:20 GMT

Are you looking to improve your pronunciation, but cant afford to pay $79.95? Rather than buying an entire pronunciation course, you might prefer to buy chapters that interest you or you need particular practise with. Charles Becker realized this need for flexibility and has recently changed the way you can get his Best Accent Training MP3 course. If you can pay for his entire course right now it is worth it, but if you find your economic situation limited (we are in an economic crisis!) you can now purchase the course lesson by lesson. If you pay as you go each lesson costs $6.95 (less than a lunch with friends!) This course is an effective way to improve your pronunciation while spending your money wisely. The economic crisis has made people tighten their budgets and Charles wants to help you.

So if you wanted to buy his amazing mp3 course, but couldnt afford $79.95, you can now pay as you go.

Visit his website to start with Lesson 1: Vowel #1 /i/ as in "leave", "seek" Thanks Charles for making your course more accessible to my website visitors during these difficult economic times. Best regards,

Diana Tower

Nov 19, Pronunciation Blues

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:28:23 GMT

I was speaking with one of my students today during our tutorial class and he told me a story which was funny (now) but very frustrating at the time.

Picture it.

Nacho, from Spain, has just flown over 10 hours to reach sunny Miami and he would like to have some chocolate milk.

Sitting down at a table with some colleagues he eagerly waits for the waitress to come by and take his order. The waitress is now walking over to them and he is ready with his order.

The waitress arrives and says, "What can I get ya?" to which Nacho replies "chowkit please."

The waitress lookes confused. She asks him to repeat his order but she just hears the same thing over and over again.

"Chowkit, some chowkit! I'd like some chowkit".

After a minute or two Nacho decides to change his order.

"I'd like a coffee please".

The waitress smiles and walks away.

What was Nacho trying to order?

Nacho thought he was saying it perfectly. All he wanted was some chocolate milk. How hard is that to understand?

In this case, pretty difficult because he wasn't pronouncing chocolate properly.

Has this ever happened to you? Do you find yourself repeating words over and over again when people just don't seem to understand you?

You know what you want to say, you just don't know how to pronounce it properly.

It's time to get it right and say goodbye to the pronunciation blues.
