Street dancers Diversity were the surprise winners of television contest "Britain's Got Talent" on Saturday, beating favorite Susan Boyle who became an Internet phenomenon and global celebrity after appearing on the show.

The troupe, which includes three sets of brothers and comes from southeast England, won 100,000 pounds ($160,000) and the right to take the stage at the Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen.

OK

First I want to thank you

I will try to record more voice messages
but I think English pronunciation is the most difficult compared to Spanish and French.

I think pronunciation is everything in English, because I can read, listen and understand but when speak I feel that some people have difficulty to understand what I am trying to say.

I don't explain very well, so I will write that down here.

English is more difficult than Spanish.

English is the most difficult language.

Kory, don't make the mistake of thinking that some people are having difficulty in understanding you.

As Ski says, your voice is more than OK. Some people resent non-native speakers speaking so well, and demonstrate this by claiming they don't understand you.

Don't be discouraged, your voice is fine.

Kitos.

ps. I can't record this as I have too much activity going on around me at the moment.

Ok
I will try not to do that mistake.

Here in Qatar I am dealing with people mostly from Asia ( India and Philippines) most of them have a terrible pronunciation; they pronounce it in their mother tongue and that is not helping me.

Thanks
