[lojban-beginners] Re: pronounciation problem

[Matt Arnold <matt.mattarn@gmail.com>]

There is a page on Wikipedia about this sound:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_postalveolar_fricative
When you click "Sound sample" it will take you to this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Voiced_postalveolar_fricative.ogg
where there is a sound file of a man saying "ja, aja".
The sound file is in .ogg format which is played by most free and open
source music programs.
