#1190 Language Learning Challenge, 2010 Oscars, Free Badges


Show 1190 Monday 8 March
Watch today's show at YouTube

Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.

As you may know, last month I did a language learning challenge which was to write a diary on this site.

And I’m doing another challenge this month. I’m doing a series of videos which I’m posting

I did a project before with that channel where I did a video blog every day for a month in Japanese and I got people to correct my Japanese. And that went really well.

And this time I’m trying something different. What I’m doing is copying something a Japanese speaker has said in a video that I’ve seen online. I think copying people is a really useful language learning exercise, so I’m going to try copying all kinds of people saying different things in different situations.



STICK NEWS


The Oscars have just been held in Hollywood.
Sandra Bullock won the prize for Best Actress.
Best Actor went to Jeff Bridges.
And a movie called The Hurt Locker picked up the awards for Best Director and Best Picture.

And that was Stick News for Monday the 8th of March.
Kia ora.


Hmm... This one wouldn't look so great in publicity shots...
True... And Sandra's such a sweetheart.


Wo-hoo! Groovy! Thanks, man!


See... If we didn't keep invading countries, we wouldn't get great movies like this!
mmm... This popcorn's good.
BLAST!
BANG!
