English Corner Debut!

Today was the first Beihua English Corner of the semester. I wish I had remembered to bring a camera! It would have been nice to post pictures of the English Corner. Alas! It went very well, though. I was really excited by how well the "Chatterbox Game" went.

For those of you who do not know, "Chatterbox" is a game where you give a person a topic and they have to speak non-stop for one full minute. They don't have to tell the truth about the topic (sometimes the lies are more fun!), but they can't stop talking either. They become a chatterbox!

Anyway, everyone did very well.

After English Corner, I came back to my room to look for some good pronunciation drills for class, and I found a very interesting website. http://www.elfs.com/MMz.html This website is full of tongue twisters! It's good, too, because you can listen to the tongue twisters and then repeat. Quite useful!
