Привет всем, я по поводу копии статьи с моего сайта:

Основные отличия британской артикуляции от американской

И зовут меня, соответственно, Дмитрий Шаповалов (автор методики SoundSmart.)

Вы знаете, я засмеялся, когда прочитал, что один из читателей "ничего не понял". А как из этого можно что-либо вообще понять? :):) Эта статейка со страницы FAQ и предназначалась для людей, которые прошли курс и спрашивают: "А как звучать по-британски". Ну я с юмором и ответил. Ну от куда читателю знать, что такое "шву", "швёр" и т.д.? :):):)

А вообще я вынес суровый урок (спасибо!): Sound-Smart.com плохо предназначен для продаж. Удивительно, что я вообще что-то продаю. smile

Я работаю над этим и скоро будет запущен чисто "продажный" сайт: anglophon.com

Там не будет ничего лишнего. Простите меня за это недоразумение! На самом деле материал очень-очень лёгкий.

В таком случае и тем более в таком случае Вы не привлекли нового клиента, а лишь отпугнули его wink

Women's (English) Language

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'.. That will bring on a 'whatever').

8. Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying...Go to Hell...

9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3
