    It was very very difficult to choose one person in this set of entries. But, Giovanni, you were the best. I liked the way you compared knowing English with having a passport. And you know, maybe it’s not a bad thing that Italian is not spoken world-wide because than you wouldn’t have to learn a new language and learning a new language is always great because it gives one a sense of perspective and it shows you how the world can be different if you look at it from another perspective. An experience impossible to get if you speak only one language.
    By the way, in Russian the situation with learning English at school is the same. You learn it for 10 years, that you graduate, travel to some English-speaking country and realise that a) you don’t understand anything, b) you can’t say anything yourself either.
    I vote for Giovanni.
    Eugenia, your entry was very nice.
    Gerald you have a wonderful accent! I would never guessed you were French.
    TED talks are usually soo boring (IMHO). They manage to make a speech last 20 or more minutes when the idea could easily be expressed in less than five minutes.
    Evgeny you have a very beautiful deep voice. You could read poetry, you know? Yep, your podcast was informative.
    Gudu made a very good point – it would be great to hear from people who have been listening to LEP from the very beginning.

      Hey,Ksenia! I’m from Russia, too. I fully agree with you as far as the participants are concerned. I also think that Giovanni was the best in this set of entries. And I am of the same opinion about all the other participants. As for Ted talks, most of them are quite interesting and educational.

    I listened all the podcasts and I definitely vote for Giovanni from Italy: his english is effective and he is a great motivator as well. I appreciated his philosophy of life :)
