Are you shy? Does doing this embarrass you? Are you thinking that people will notice your new accent and criticize you for it? Inthe beginning, you may feel a little strange with these new sounds that you are using, but don't worry, it's like a new pair of shoes—they take a while to break in and make comfortable. Nevertheless, I hope that you are enjoying this program. Adopting a new accent can become too personal and too emotional an issue, sodon't take it too seriously. Relax. Have a good time. Play withthe sounds thatyou are making. Whenever a word or phrase strikes your fancy, go somewhere private and comfortable and try out a couple of different approaches, styles, and attitudes with it—as youare going to do in the next exercise. If possible, record yourself on tape so you can decide which one suits you best.
