Well, "anyone" has a smile on his face, because he remembers a brief time in the early 90s where he had constructed a whole narrative for himself which allowed him to speak with a thick John-lennon accent... and used the same reasoning... something like: I am neiher American, nor Brit, so I choose to roll my "r"s and pretend like I'm just back from the Liverpool Harber... "Anyone" is glad you are being yourself, just another IR Iranian with a British accent... hip hip hurrah.

Khodadad, thanks for my first Persian pronunciation lesson! I am not sure that I can make the "kh" sound properly as you have described it (and spoke it). So, if I create an audio blog and say hello, please be patient! :)

I found the download site for the Audacity program, but I don't have a microphone. I know that my sound card has an input for one, though. I used to like shopping at Radio Shack. I think they could probably hook me up.

Good luck with your early Islamic law class!
