"""Updated rules """Skype game night , Saturday 12th: Game and Pronunciation
I hope you will all like the chat this time mainly aimed at
vocabulary and pronunciation
I was looking at ideas for the chat yesterday and Ron came up with categories...well, so this will be based on categories
Saturday 12th, Game night, 11.30 PM, Spain
Everybody invited! Bear in mind that this is mainly aimed at beginners though and pronunciation.
C H A N G E of R U L E S
1) I will set my clock, this will be done with a timer, you have 20 SECONDS only!!
2) I will give a category and
3) you have to find three words on the given category, off the top of your head, you won't have time to look them up!
4) You will have to type the words into the box.
5 If a word is repeated by any other member, that word does not count!!
5) You will have to pronounce the words!!!
6) Points will be given only to those words, which were correctly spelled and pronounced!
7) Spanish natives will do the same categories in English and they have to pronounce them correctly.
8) I will use easy all those categories used in "A - Z Threads".
9) This time I do not use a given letter, but you cannot repeat the word, so do check the threads above, as there are very unusual animals, toys, or anything at all.
10) Don't forget to be different with your answers, a repeated word does not count!!!
Special Words for Spanish natives:
cogumela and dakie will be there
So, what we need you to do is:
1) Each native English speaker finds one word for each native Spanish speaker present. (Please prepare a couple of words or three in case the other member has come up with the same words )
No category is necessary here, just find some words you think we will have difficulty pronouncing, jeje, that will be fun , struggling like you to pronounce correctly
2) Please grade the words according to level.
3) Please find some words for me....that I simply have to guess, jejeje, maybe I will get a couple right. In any case, I am very bad at games, so no hope for me to win anyway.
If you can think of how to improve the idea, let me know

If I am not boring being such a persistent beginner ..
I'll be there!
I think I'll be a bit too much of a beginner but I'll try to be there anyway!
The game is at 6pm, I should be home from work by then. Count me in!! Can't wait to mess up and learn a lot!!
Thanks for adding me, Heidi
Yo voy
Me encantaría participar pero mi computador de casa todavía esta en el taller de reparaciones. Gemido.
I would love to join but my home computer is still in the repair shop. Groan.
I would like to be included - Only problem is my lousy connection - but I will try.
This sounds like fun, I'm in. I just hope I can talk by then.
Count me in. Good grief. I see the points on these people that say they are beginners and then I look at my own points and think if they are beginners I must still be in the womb.
Count me in as one of the usual suspects please .
Yes, sign me up.
Me encantería participar también, Heidi;
There is still place amigos
I'd be happy to participate but I'll probably get home closer to 12:00 (your time) than 11:30. It depends on how the local buses are running (which is always a bit dicey).
