Hello everyone!

Did any of you make New Year’s resolutions? Is there something that you want to do differently in 2009?

I didn’t make any specific resolutions this year. Usually I say that I want to improve my French and get more focused in general!

I found this great video on youtube.com today. A guy named Jon interviewed different people and simply asked them “What’s the one thing you are going to do differently in 2009?“

In this video you will hear the slang for “going to” A LOT! Native English speakers often say “gonna” in place of “going to” when they talk. There are a lot of examples in this video.

Also, at around 4:30 minutes we see a red-haired girl who talks about using less “puns“. A pun is a play on words, or a word play where the word or expression has two meanings. The first example is that she says she can’t drive a car, but she drives her mom crazy. The pun is with the word “drive“. Listen for the other examples too!

Enjoy all the resolutions!
