Eine Kleine Freie Diktat (A Little Free Dictation)
Meet Nicolete Booth.
Nicolete "Nikki" Booth
During her quest for the coveted RPR, Nicolete Booth found herself in search of some good dictation to use for practice material.
As you might guess, she found some ... and, with some begging and pleading, I was able to convince her to share her findings with the readers of Cheap and Sleazy! So here they are, complete with descriptions. Hopefully you will find these useful.
