I've been trying to record myself speaking English but, argh, it was crazy!!! The problem was that while I was speaking, I couldn’t help but laugh all the time because my pronunciation sounded so weird and funny to me. All I could produce was broken English, odd pronunciations, gaps, pauses, and lots of mmmh and the like. So, finally I realized after no less than 10 failed attempts that I might first write down what I would like to say, and then read it aloud to the voice recorder. Well, so I did it and, wow, I couldn’t believe it but it worked pretty well! Gee, I’m so excited!!
