Hello. My name is Dave Domingo.
If you are a non-native speaker of Arabic, you can earn $40 for  
approximately 1 hour of work, helping my company develop a DLI-funded  
language learning tool. (You must have completed at least one college- 
level course in Arabic as a *second* language to qualify for this  
opportunity.)
My company, Fluential, is creating a computer-based language learning  
system called T-MINDS, which is being developed under a contract with  
the Defense Language Institute. (Click here <http://www.box.net/ 
index.php?rm=box_v2_download_shared_file&file_id=f_50478212>  to view  
a presentation about T-MINDS.) At this stage of development, we are  
collecting speech data from non-native Arabic speakers. This enables  
us to model correct and incorrect speech so the system will correct  
and give feedback at the right level.
Your total time on task is about 1 hour, but you can break your  
session up into shorter chunks – see below.
If you would like to help with this project and earn $40, just call  
this toll-free number to begin:
1-877-358-3684
The system begins by assigning you a unique PIN so you can hang up at  
any time and continue your session when it is convenient for you.
When you finish your session, e-mail me at  
ddomingo at fluentialinc.com . Include your full name, your mailing  
address, your phone number and the PIN you were assigned. Without  
these four items of information, we will not be able to process your  
payment.
This data collection project will end on or about July 15.
Please feel free to call me at (925) 895-2294 if you have any  
problems or suggestions.
Thanks very much for your help.
-- Dave
