Certainly. Thanks!

Thanks, Betty. MW updated. I won't ask for updated length, because this case is clear enough.BettyB wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2020, 8:02 pm https://librivox.org/uploads/leni/storiesthatwordstellus_13_oneill_128kb.mp3
Updated for spot check.

Actually, I just asked around regarding my last point above, and I hear that we should get a duration from the reader for every upload. Could you confirm the new length for us?BettyB wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2020, 8:02 pm https://librivox.org/uploads/leni/storiesthatwordstellus_13_oneill_128kb.mp3

I'd be happy to. Thanks for claiming.Kudrna wrote: ↑June 4th, 2020, 3:22 am Michael,
would you mind PLing my section if I recorded one? I'd like to record section 3 (the more I listen the more interesting it sounds and I'd be very happy to record a part, too ). If you don't want to PL, I can post in the Listeners Wanted afterwards, but I thought it would be better to ask you first
Thanks!
Kudrna
So, here's section 3: https://librivox.org/uploads/leni/storiesthatwordstellus_03_oneill_128kb.mp3 (17:37)
Ok, thank you, Kudrna!Kudrna wrote: ↑June 10th, 2020, 8:39 am So, here's section 3: https://librivox.org/uploads/leni/storiesthatwordstellus_03_oneill_128kb.mp3 (17:37)
It was my longest English recording so far; I hope it's bearable Sometimes I wasn't sure about the pronunciation of some unusual words so don't hesitate to correct me if it sounds weird. Also, any CC welcome. Thanks!

12:18 – the text says "in their own languages often become slang" but I hear "in their own language have become slang". It's a small change but I'd say that the meaning is a bit different.
Thanks!

You have a clear and pleasant reading style in English! I hope you will record more (but without neglecting Czech, which we need much more of! )Kudrna wrote: ↑June 10th, 2020, 8:39 am

Thanks very much for your PL, I'll fix the things mentioned (or, I'll do my best ).Kazbek wrote: ↑June 11th, 2020, 7:34 pm You have a clear and pleasant reading style in English! I hope you will record more (but without neglecting Czech, which we need much more of! )
It's totally normal to be unsure about pronunciation of English words, even for native speakers, especially in a history text. I always have a dictionary and Wikipedia open in tabs to check pronunciations when recording one of those. Since you've asked for it, I've noted some words whose pronunciation you may want to look up, because they'll probably be hard to understand.
(1:00) Ægean
(1:07) missing word "they called Ereb"
(4:17) 1702 (missing OH)
(4:35) 1804 (missing OH)
(4:46) Mediterranean
(8:13) wounded
(10:15) "spreading into four counties, and as big as a county itself" (hearing countRy both times)
(16:29) hearing "any" instead of "many"
(16:43) "counties" (no r)
Also, "conquer". No need to replace it. The way you say it is intelligible. But it's a common word in history texts (not to the credit of mankind), so FYI.
I recall being very amused seeing that Oxford is written in Chinese using the character for cow and the character for river crossing, which was the first time I realized what the name meant.
