I am very new at German. If you can, please focus on clearly pronouncing words. Thanks!
Was ist das? Ist das ein Kugelschreiber?
Ja. Das ist ein Jugelscreiber.
Und dies? Ist dies ein Kugelscreiber oder ein Schlüssel.
Bis demnächst.
Also, los!
Was sind Sie denn?
Ich bin Österreicher. Aber ich wohne in Berlin.
Wo kommen Sie her?
You can use our built-in RhinoRecorder to record from within your browser, or you may also use the form to upload an audio file for this Audio Request.
Don't have audio recording software? We recommend Audacity. It's free and easy to use.
I hope I spoke cleary enough. :)
In the first recording I read it as you write it.
In the second recording I corrected some parts to let it sound more natural:
Und das? Ist das ein Kugelschreiber oder ein Schlüssel?
-> We use 'dies' not as often as 'das' for this purpose. 'dies' sounds a little stiff. ;)
Wo kommen Sie her?
-> 'Was sind Sie denn?' sounds odd, if you would like to know where a person come from. It means 'What are you?', so one can answer 'A human of course!' ;)
Ich bin Österreicher, aber ich wohne in Berlin. / Ich komme aus Österreich, aber ich wohne in Berlin.
-> Both responses have the same meaning, so it doesn't matter which one choose.
