| Hi, I am an ESL teacher and I was listening to a recording made by Brandee - the one with the story of Andrew, the man who never went anywhere without his coat. I noticed that in her recording she made a few errors in reading the words, and I feel it is really important that English learners hear words read correctly: She read the word 'anecdote' as 'antidote', pronounced the River Thames using the 'th' as in 'the' and the 'a' as in 'tame' and read the word 'palpable' as 'palapable' - (a new word in English, perhaps?) I don't mean to be overly critical and if it were just a question of accent I wouldn't have said anything, but these are actual errors in reading and lower the standard of what you offer. I hope this is found to be constructive. |

Hi,
I would like to know if you are still looking for Native speakers of the English language? |

You'll see my first recording posted at the end of the list here, under the name Scott Jack. I've sent a second to Torsten that should have less background noise that the first.
Please feel free to give your thoughts! |

Hi Torsten,
I'll send an MP3 in the next couple of days. I'm a native speaker and an ESL teacher at a major Australian university (I'm half British and spend time there also so I would say I have a pretty clear and easy-to-understand accent!).
When do you think you might start the project?
Thanks, Sarah Norman. |
