Great! How many languages do you speak? We could use them all! (I can always add more available sections here than just 12.)

Hahah! No pressure!
The only ones that I read/comprehend well enough to record a section in are my native Polish and English. I once tried recording something in Spanish but I ended up tripping over my tongue and looking up way too many words. The pronunciation is predictable but I don't think it makes much sense to record something when you don't understand a substantial part of what you're reading. Also muttering to yourself is one thing, but a finished recording should preferably sound like a coherent text rather than a collection of arduously articulated sentences

Yes, I feel that way, too. I could manage Spanish if I tried hard enough, but mine is really a reading knowledge of that language, with a dictionary close by.

Here's another chapter. I think the book itself is still "in progress".

I couldn't see anything about a DPL at the start of the thread; should there be a tilde in the header?

Kevin is PL'ing (in languages he can); he's listed at top of MW.

Thanks, Todd

Will do!

And thank you again.

Kevin, after listening to my two sections again, I decided that I read a little too slowly (it's about time I realised this!). So I've increased the tempo by 5% and reuploaded. The files don't need to be PL'd again. Sussex is now 16.49, Pagan 22.18.

I'm going to do this for all my future recordings, too.

Okay. I'll update the times.

And another; technically, the recording is just section one (of three) from chapter one, but I think it gives a taste of the author's style.

Good collection for understanding whether it would be interesting to record a book you found.

Because I usually don't like to read the book twice.
