Thread: How to hear the audio recordings

Tony--> тоуни (according to sounds of Russian letters)

It's obvious (to my hearing) you are reading the text
Maybe: Это очевидно (к моему слушанию), Вы читаете текст

I've explained it before-). Tony in English = Тони in Russian.
What you can say about my old record above?-) . I remembered many people at that time criticized it

Scrabus, I'm not sure which one is your old record. Give me the link and I'll listen to it. Wait, I see it now, #338.

I doubt you will be able to understand everything... Just a little may be but not a whole record I'm sure=).

Scrabus, here is what I think I heard:

I don't think I want to know.
My Russian book says it takes the longest to learn letters.
That's kill me.
I wonder, if I'll start reading English words wrong once.
I get them, really.

How did I do?
Your pronunciation is OK but you spoke quickly and also quietly in some places. Certainly it is not how a native might sound but there are no terrible mistakes in pronunciation. ("That's kill me" should be:: That'll kill me/That will kill me)

Thank Ken for your comment, it was almost I was trying to say at that time . And yes I already fixed in my mind "that's kill me". Last time respondents told me the same thing about it . I'm trying to improve my pronunciation, working on it . Anyway it very useful to hear comments by native.

No, I didn't. I just pronounced some sentence which I thought out.

Спасибо всем. Мне довольно трудно понимать все разговоры об эту тему между вас. Я только, что послушала обе записи, о которых Zaya сказал.

Мне особенно понравилась первая запись - Фaйл, который Лампеда загружалa.

You are all very helpful and it really brings the language to life by listening to real people speaking. Russian speakers are very few and far between in my part of the UK.

I was simply curious to listen to Olya speaking English. It was very good, as I had expected.

You are welcome.
