PL - 16 Spanish - Eldorado from Poemas
by Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)
translated by Alberto Lasplaces (1887-1950)

Mr. Arnieh,

Very nice Spanish accent. Everything seems fine except for a couple of words that seem different from what is written:

1:15 "galante," read "gallente"
1:19 "buscáis," read "busqués"

Hope it helps,

Joiz

Thanks for the feedback. Will try to correct.
Wasn't sure how "buscais" is pronounced. Is it "boo-sc-ice" or "boo-sc-eye-eec" or "boo-scay-eec"?

Hello Arnie san,

Thank you for your recording.

Title of work - Propertius 4, from Sexti Properti Carmina

MW is updated. Please check if it's correct.

Now this project is full. This project won't accept new recordings.
We concentrate on proof listening.
I'll start next project immediately.

Cheers,
Masa

Arnieh,

I believe it is pretty close to "boo-sc-ice."

Masa San, will you teach me to read and pronounce Japanese? I've got a book on learning Japanese but haven't really looked at.

"彼はさまざまな人生の苦労を味わった。"

What does this mean?

Is this transliteration correct:

"Kare wa samazamana jinsei no kurou o ajiwatta."

I can probably learn to read and pronounce it if it is written like it is above. Understanding pictograms will be much harder. I think anyone can learn something if they put their mind to it.

I've re-recorded El Dorado with corrections.

Much better. Everything sounds perfect but I think I can hear some kind of background noise, probably made by moving the microphone, at 0:41, 0:59, 1:18, and in the last 5 seconds.

I hope I am not being to harsh. I am new and I am just trying to follow the Guide for Proof-listening.

Good luck,

Joiz

Hello Arnie san,

"彼はさまざまな人生の苦労を味わった。"
What does this mean?

He suffered various hardships in his life.

Is this transliteration correct:
"Kare wa samazamana jinsei no kurou o ajiwatta."

Kare wa samazamana jinsei no kurou wo ajiwatta.

Just one point.
o --> wo

I feel Japanese is easy to pronounce. We don't use lots of sounds.
You'll be able to speak Japanese soon.

Cheers,
Masa

Thanks for the feedback, yes I can hear some feint sounds at those points in the recording. However I don't think it is at the level where it is distracting. It is not my mic your hearing, its the scroll wheel on my mouse as I am paging through the text. It is pretty much in all of my recordings, but I'm not sure there's much I can do about it. My mic is built into my laptop.

Thank you Masa san. I have great respect for you. If you have the time perhaps you can teach me the basics via PM or email.

Oh... I see... probably it was distracting for me because I was listening it with the volume all the way up.

Then, everything is fine

16 Spanish - Eldorado from Poemas
PL OK

I changed MW's status.

Arnie san,

I can hear some feint sounds at those points in the recording.

You don't need to this now. But if you wish, you can erase them using Audacity function.
It's 'Noise Cleaning'.

Cheers,
Masa

Hello Arnie san,

At LibriVox there are a few Japanese and also a few, who understand Japanese.
When you have a question, please post at Off-Topic.
Somebody will answer to your question.

Cheers,
Masa

Kuya Masa,

Section 14 is PL-OK!

Section 15 only has this one, very small mispronunciation, and it should be PL-OK once it's edited. At 0:43 the line read: "Iam tum cum ausus es unus Italorum". 'Unus' sounds like "Unas" there.
