Note to recorder:
Hi friends! Thanks in advance for your help!
New country? New friends! But how do you meet them?
Making new friends is an exciting part of moving to a new place, but sometimes it’s hard to know just how formal to be with new people. Americans are usually very casual.
They’re also very friendly. This is a good thing, but it can be tricky. Everyone knows that good old basic English Phrase, “Hello. It’s nice to meet you.” Oh, yeah, we bet you were ready for that. Well, you may be ready, but then you may be surprised to learn that you won’t hear that phrase very often. “Hello. It’s nice to meet you” is okay for first-time introductions, but when friends meet socially, the conversation will probably sound more like this:
Oh my Gosh! Your voice is lovely! And the sound quality is great! And the reading is superb! Are you a professional audiobook narrator? Well, you should be!
Thanks so much for the prompt response, the intonation, the pace... I loved it all!!!
