The new i-Pod shuffle has a convenient function that speaks the title of music or program. But, it does not have a basic function that plays a song a little bit forward or back.
But, I found the old one in my jacket last week. I had forgotten that I kept it in my cloth, probably because I spent busy time for nursing my father.
The second purchase in recent days is Regina Carter's album;"I will be seeing you:a sentimental journey". She is an African-American jazz violinist, and one of my favorite musicians. I have heard her name and music through VOA Special English program.
By the way, the new i-Pod shuffle's new function brought me a small finding. I had thought that her first name is pronounced "REJINA" for a long time, but it sounds "REJAINA" to me in its speaking function. I don't know which is correct.

Double the shuffle!
I admire your dedication in listening to podcasts. I just can't seem to stick with them even though I need to. Maybe I need to try more to find podcasts that I find interesting.
By the way, I'm pretty sure that Regina Carter's name is pronounced as "Regina" normally is: "Rejina" (レジーナ).
I don't think I've heard her music before, so I should give her a listen sometimes.
Hi Biker,
I don't have an i-pod, but I do listen to Japanese podcasts whenever I can ^_^. what a marvellous possibility to learn languages, isn't it? とても楽しいです。

Hello, I am Maki, and thank you for visiting my blog. Since I visited your blog, I thought your English writing appears polished, and I have respected you. I hope my skill will also improve as I keep practicing. So どうぞよろしくおねがいします。 In addition, I am a fan of VOA Special English, and have been one for almost a year.
Miguel-san,
Thank you for good information. Now, my son uses the 3rd generation shuffle, I tried the way for FF or REW on it after I heard your advise. But, I could not do it so well, probably it needs a little bit technique, I think.
Jon-san,
Thank you for teaching me its correct pronunciation. After posting the article, I have learned that the voice cover sometimes mis-read the title of music on some web-site. And, I really recommend you to try her music.

The modern technology like the Internet have made us to get the easy way to learn languages, I think.
Maki-san,
I really welcome your visiting on my blog. I hope our relationship on the web to encourage with each other.
I am listening to Special English for about 10 years, it is so long!
Hello, thank you for your response. I'm getting to know you, also I'd like to speak of myself; I've been a fan of VOA SE almost for 1 year, but I have read almost all articles since then. I started writing as practice from the year start because I want to improve English not for a qualification. I'd like to use English practically. So my English is poor, but I'll try at my best. Please advice me any time. どうぞよろしくおねがいします。
このビデオによると、発音は「レジーナ」が正しいです。私はアメリカ人で、「レジャイナ」のを聞いたことがないんですけど。bikenglishさんの素晴らしい英語、おめでとうございます！本当に抜群だと思います。
