Visit my audio sample page http://www.fa-kuan.muc.de/AUSAMP.RXML, go to RealAudio site (you'll find the link at the bottom) and download RealAudio player from there. Files in this format are about 20 percent the wav-file size. > >As for your recording, it sounds pretty good, just your "h"-sound > >comes like "x" (which is typical for speakers of Romance > >natlangs - except Romanian - who anyway are having difficulties with > >aspirated "h"). > > Do you hear a difference between my {'} and my {x}? Yes, I heard e.g. {duxu} instead of {du'u} :-) Pretty Latin American.

I listened to it over and over again always hearing {nenRI}, wouldn't there have been a Norwegian ear, I had hardly got the sense of this last part :( Don't know why. Maybe because we are not at all accustomed *listening* to Lojban. Yet, your Spanish accent sounds pretty good, would be interested hearing American accent too! co'omi'e .aulun.
