I have a friend, an Irish lassie..she is a teacher[9 year olds] , in Ireland..

She has asked for my help in a school project for her class...

She wants me to record kids in their native languages to use in her classroom..
the recordings would be as follows...Hi, my name is Fran,I am 63 years old, Do you know where I am from...?

Would my friends here help Samantha, by recording your kids or grandkids for this project..Just short MP3's, of the kids in their native language..

I really like to get a good response..You can email them to me, and I will forward all to Samantha..

Attach the child's name [Ann etc]and content of what the child is saying, so Samantha will know what they are saying..

Thanks for your help..

PS: Also let me know the language, and where they are from..Thanks again..

Could it be??????????

I have no friends here????

Well, I'd do it like right now but my daughter is in school at the moment. Should be back at 'round 4pm. She won't mind doing it but its just a matter of finding time. She's 9 and speaks at least 3 languages so expect a bunch of mp3s either later on today or tomorrow.

I'd record my son but I'm not sure what language he speaks... He's still a baby. LOL

cheers,

Thanks Ed

Ok, I'll ask my daughter of 13
Will be tomorrow night though, since I work during daytimes, and she's to school.

Thanks Freddy

Fran .... does she want the kids on the recordings only to ask if the students know where they are from, orshould they tell them as well ?
t.

Tony they can say where they are from..Fred sent a text for the teacher[Samantha]to know..

Thanks Fred for coming thru...

Still need help with this project

Fran,

I'm a bit confused myself. When my daughter is recording a message in lets say Ukrainian should she say that she is living in Ukraine? Or should she say that she lives in canada but just happens to speak several languages?

Or Should she use a different name/country for every language she speaks?

We've agreeed to record her later on today so I just wanted to know what exactly she should say to avoid confusing the kids.

Ed now I'm confused..I think anyway you decide will be fine...

Fred's daughter said Hello , I am ..... can you guess where I am from...and then Fred sent a text , so Samantha would know what she said and where she was from..in English..

Thanks for helping..

Fran ... my apologies ... two of my grandkids were over last night, but our schedules got messed up and I wasn't able to do it ...
How long is the project on for?
t.

Fran,
Let us know as I might be able to record one in arabic as well thru skype or msn with the daughter of my sister in law, living in Morocco.
(My sister in law is a teacher on college so she will like this project anyway.)

Tony , Sam needs the voices by end week..Fred that would be great..I bragged to Sam about our group always coming through in a pinch..I hope I don't eat those words.....AHH it wouldn't be as bad as eating Yamaha crow

Come on SZ people..we can do it..I will send all to Sam and she will have to work with what we have by the end of the week..

Ed thanks...I will send it to Sam.

Thanks for your support..Where is Taike?

I am chatting with you on Camfrog at this very moment.

Here is an email I recieved from Samantha::

Thanks Frank

Your a star! For anyone thats confused, Bascially I'm looking for a message from a child saying hi im (whatever name). Maybe her likes and dislikes or a few things about her country. In her native language and in english if she is able. One girl gave clues about where she was from, she can save the file as the name of her country so I will know, or send a note. I was making it more fun for the little ones asking them to guess

Sam x

Fran ..... I guess I missed the 'foreign language' point ... my grandkids speak only English (American) ...
t.

Tony record it..They don't understand RI english in Ireland..

Fran, I've recorded one of my kindergartners. I only did Mandarin Chinese, though, not Taiwanese. I had to keep it short as her classmates could barely contain their laughter. You know kids, once they think something's funny there's no stopping them.
So now I am awaiting your further instructions.

Taike Thanks
