Note to recorder:
This is for an Anki deck. Many people are going learn pronunciation from this, so please speak carefully (pay attention to stresses etc.)!

Please only record this if you are a British or American native speaker.

Notes:
- please wait for at least 2 seconds before moving to the next sentence,
- if you make a mistake, please repeat the whole sentence,
- you may skip some sentences if you are unsure about correct pronunciation,
- try to keep a natural pace without artificial slowness,
- interpreting and putting emotions into your speech is very welcome,
- send me your name by PM if you want to be listed in credits :)
