Dear all,
KLS colleague Amanda Perry-Kessaris is working on an amazing project for which she needs some help- details below. I’ll be damned if, after hearing the initial results, the BSIS community cannot be fired up to provide Amanda with at least 20 more language versions of ‘I am excited to move to the city, but I’m nervous because I don’t know anyone.’ Go on, it will take you all of three minutes, and I know you’re out there in Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Azeri… and I haven’t even gotten to the B yet.
All best,
Harm

Subject: Your help with a graphic design project pays off!
Dear colleagues and students,
Thanks to all of you who helped with this. I got Cantonese, French, Greek. Malay, Mandarin, Norwegian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish and Thai.
I asked permission from Mercury-Award nominated singer Sam Lee to add it audio of an impromptu performance of his song ‘Goodbye My Darling’. Amazingly, he said yes.
You can hear the first draft of the result here: ow.ly/UfCQK
Love to hear what you think, and thanks for your help!
Amanda

Subject: Easy peasy help with a graphic design project
Dear colleagues and students,
I am currently working on a graphic design project about individuals and communities in cities and I would be so grateful for your help: won’t you please record, for example as an iPhone voice memo, in any language other than English, the equivalent of the following:
‘I am excited to move to the city, but I’m nervous because I don’t know anyone’
Please email it to me (and tell me the language) by Tuesday night.
Thank you so much!
Amanda
