Language News
Basketball goes International
To accommodate interest in Mavericks center Wang Zhizhi, the first Asian to play in the NBA, the league's live webcast of Friday's Dallas-Sacramento game will be available to fans worldwide in Mandarin Chinese, the NBA announced Thursday. In addition to English and Spanish, Wang's native language has been added to NBA.com's coverage of Friday's game as the NBA becomes the first major professional sports league to webcast a live game in streaming video, according to the NBA. Friday's Mavericks-Kings contest features a record eight international players. The league states that more than one third of NBA.com's traffic comes from outside the United States.

Language Learning Tips
First of an exclusive series by Rodman Reynolds for ILC.
Tip #1: Speak Out and Aloud!
A new language contains dozens of sounds that your mouth
(and your tongue, lips, sinuses, and vocal cords!) just
isn’t used to making. While learning a foreign language,
you’ll need to take as many opportunities to speak as you
can; if you don’t already speak out and clearly in your
regular speaking voice (most of us don’t), you’ll need to
make a special effort now.
In fact, you’ll probably want to exaggerate, just a little. Ham it up. If you can affect an Italian accent in English, try using it when pronouncing real Italian. You’ll be surprised what it can do for your pronunciation. If you mumble or speak in a low voice, there’s a good chance that you developed those habits when you were too young to know better or how to do anything about it; chances are you had a parent or some other speaking model who had the same bad habits. Don’t let this happen with your new language – learn to speak from a native who speaks well and clearly, and don’t cut yourself any slack on your own pronunciation. Move those face and mouth muscles all over the place to really get those subtle foreign sounds out of there, since your mouth isn’t used to making them on its own.
