Hi LibriVox community!

I want to read a short story by myself but since I am planning to read a book with the help of my Slovene teacher, I need to record it in Slovene. I am from Slovenia and want to record a classic Slovenian literature work in Slovene. How do I do that? Can I choose any Slovenian book or does it have to be an English book translated into Slovene?

Thank you in advance,

sincerely,

A Slovenian work is fine. The text must be published in 1925 or earlier. See our text policy: https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Recording_%26_Text_Policies#Our_policy_on_text_sources:

A short story less than an hour long or so would go in the Multilingual Short Works Collection as opposed to a standalone solo. It appears the most recent one was just cataloged, so a new one will be starting up soon. It will be posted in this forum: viewforum.php?f=60
Serial novel: The Wandering Jew
Medieval England meets Civil War Americans: Centuries Apart
Humor: My Lady Nicotine
