Here's some information on note taking that I've always believed in and, it turns out, that science says it's true!

Hi there everyone!
It's been a while since I've posted, but I came across a good site today. I forgot how much I like American public radio. You can listen to pod-casts through this link: WBEZ. Remember, understanding is half of knowing a language, so the sooner you understand, the sooner your level will increase!
Let me know what you think!

Before the real weekly post... Here's the interim one.
This week one of the things that came up in all the classes had to do with expressions...and, interestingly enough, tongue twisters. So, I'm attaching some links so that you can see and hear some interesting tongue twisters.
Additionally, here are some of my favourites. You have to say and pronounce them well, while repeating them 5 times, fast! Don't worry, it's hard for native speakers too!
I'll start with a link to where you can hear some of these, but try saying them too!
Tongue twisters.
Rubber baby-buggy bumpers. (and if you can figure out what this is, extra points!)
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would,
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
She sells sea-shells on the sea-shore.
The shells she sells are sea-shells, I'm sure.
For if she sells sea-shells on the sea-shore,
Then I'm sure she sells sea-shore shells.
Oh, and P.S. What's the newest phrase or expression you've learnt this week??
Talk to you soon!

He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would,
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

For if she sells sea-shells on the sea-shore,
Then I'm sure she sells sea-shore shells.
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked;
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
Weekly update to come.
Talk to you soon!
