Hello Miss Allée,
I am completely new to Rhinospike, so I am not sure how this works, but I would be happy to record your introduction in English. I have a clear, well-educated English accent.

But I would never say 'it's very fun.' I would say 'It's fun!' Some people might be enthusiastic enough to say 'it's good fun' or it's very good fun' or even 'it's great fun.' But 'very fun' is not correct in this context.
Best regards,
Anna

thanks Anna, Indeed 'very fun' doesn't sound right at all..I must change it to 'very good fun'...
Could you record it again and change that last phrase ???
Also, it could be a bit quicker, just a little... :)
speak soon and hope I can help you soon with your recordings !
