Hi Ralf

I tried to listen to your new recording, but for some reason a lot of it (most of it) didn't come through. A few words here and there, and a lot of long periods of silence... (Could it be that I just have too many windows open at the moment?)

Anyway, it seems to me it was a good idea to just eliminate the word 'wool' since the pronunciation of that word is more an exception to the pronunciation patterns you're trying to illustrate.

Did you do any of the other recordings? (Just curious)

Hi Amy,

Thanks for your reply. I checked the online audio clip, and on my computer it works fine. Sometimes a problem like the one you described resolves itself by restarting the computer. Maybe it's due to a lack of virtual memory space, I don't know.

The only other recording I've done (for this site) so far can be listened to in the How to become an English teacher section. I'd say my accent sounds a bit more natural there.

Have you ever done any recordings? Maybe on kantalk.com?

Hi Ralf

Yup, a restart did the trick. And I've now noticed that there is still one 'wool' in the text. Sounds good.

Recordings? Sure, some -- but I don't post them publicly.

I didn't know there was a "How to become an English teacher" section on the site, but now I do.
