I hope you will all like the chat this time mainly aimed at

vocabulary and pronunciationwink

I was looking at ideas for the chat yesterday and Ron came up with categories...well, so this will be based on categoriesgrin

Saturday 12th, Game night, 11.30 PM, Spain

Everybody invited! Bear in mind that this is mainly aimed at beginners though and pronunciation.

So this is what it will look like, and please read the thread carefully, in order to have the English words prepared! wink

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! wink

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 theregrin

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 wordswink )

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 correctlywink

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. raspberry

Who will be there? : Heidita, Cogumela, Sandy, Rabbit, Sakis , Ray, Ken, yesero, Ron, Ian, Samdie, Dakie, Jason, Feliz , Marianne, Margerit, Goldie, Jenny

If you can think of how to improve the idea, let me knowwink

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.

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).
