Mork, think about that for a second. Have you ever made COOKIES from juicy fruits and sugar?

For your reference, this is a "coolie" http://www.kitchenkonfidence.com/2010/07/cherry-coulis

Well, I have seen and eaten cookies with fruit in them, and I've never even heard of coolies. But thanks for the correction.

I tried to record tonight, but the program did not work properly. It seems to me they want for me to upgrade the program. Does anybody know a free program like that?

A native's feedback:
It sounds like a comedian poking fun at posh people
like a working class person trying to pretend to impersonate a posh person
it is funny
to be honest
you didn't sound that weird when you spoke to me
You sound more like that woman you kept raving about

1. Your introduction (your normal speech?) was fine.
2. Most of the word exercises were OK.
3. "The marble glass bath was hidden in the tall grass near the park?
4. Let's park our car at Barbara's, as the car park is rather far from the theatre?
5. At last .. a disastrous dance with the latin sergeant? part of that I didn't understand.
6. I'd rather take a chance and let my father drive me to the garage in his fast car
7. Hard hearted Margaret was reading psalms in the dark
8. ... I made such a mark that I was given the part/post of a junior clerk? I didn't catch the opening part.
9. Barbara's car is a Jaguar and Barbara drives rather fast ... she goes charging past? I missed a part of that.
10. When our good friend was called to the bar ... but I was ... an impecunious party? Missed part of that too.

On another thread one of the posters recommended modelling an accent on one particular person's voice. You might like to try that.

Thank you very much! I was on the verge of tears when my friends criticized me.
