23 (D-108) The Skywalk (and some help with pronunciation)

23 (D-108) The Skywalk. When you walk out onto the Skywalk, a horseshoe-shaped glass walkway, you are 1100 meters above the bottom of the canyon. Take a look: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1j20i_the-grand-canyon-skywalk_news

Would you like to walk out onto the Skywalk? Do you like the Skywalk?

Would you like to fly over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter or in an airplane?

Would you like the answers to yesterday's quiz? Not yet. Later. To give you more time....

But, to help you with pronunciation of the new words you discover on this blog, you can go to: http://www.oddcast.com/home/demos/tts/tts_example.php?sitepal TEXT--TO--SPEECH It's fun. And you can choose the accent you prefer!
Or, another site: http://www.howjsay.com/ for the pronunciation of words and phrases.

(A little help: think of New York City for an example with "sky". Go to Post 12 in this blog for an example with "walk".)
