Day #43 - Talking avatars – how can we use them?

I want to introduce you an internet service called Voki www.voki.com. It lets you create crazy avatars which can say what you want them to say in the language you want them to use. Here is an example. British English:

And American version:

Here you can hear Austalian accent:

OK. I know it’s  not perfectly natural human voice, but you can make your avatar to speak just writing a few lines of text. Isn’t that amazing? Do you want to know how to do it? I’m going to write more about it in the next post.

Because Voki is easy to create and making speaking avatars is fun we can use Voki to learn English. We all know that with more fun there is a better learning.

Here are a few examples how we can use it:

• Avatar which represents you and tells something about you,
• Avatar tells a joke,
• Avatar asks funny questions.

Could you give me some more. Try to find the craziest and the funniest way of using it.
