If I only knew how to send a recorded conversation via mail!! Could you explain it to me? I'm completely useless on those things...
The recording would be in Dutch and English then... What I also noticed, not only on him but also on me, is that we speak "different" if we use our mother tonges and if we don't: in his case, he speaks deeper if he speaks Dutch than if he speaks Spanish with me (he speaks then higher and more "tense"...); in my case, I used to speak Spanish higher, faster and tenser, but since I started with the method, I speak deeper (well, not deeper: I used to speak too high, and now I speak with my natural pitch, that is, deeper...), slowler and more relaxed, mainly when I speak Dutch, that is the languaje in which a learn to "speek" correctly... Now I breathe when I talk...
Just tell me how can I post a recording, or how can I get the info in order to do it, because otherwise I would have to send it by normal post...
Thanks for everything!!
Andrea.
