Hi James,
Thanks a lot for pointing this out -- now you can listen to your sample recording (number 17).

| 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? |
