Let us hear your accent and pronunciation!

[Neversoft]

Idea developed in spam. There's people on this forum not only from all over Britain, but also all over the world, and thus all with different accents and pronunciation. Let us hear how you say the following!

- Bath
- Book
- About
- Ask
- Roof
- Probably
- Supposedly
- Aluminium
- Butter
- Aunt
- February
- Mayonnaise
- Laugh
- Foot
- Dancing
- Singing
- Pub
- Toilet
- HabboxForum
- Royalty
- Uneducated
- Poor
- Pronunciation
- One
- Beautiful
- Half
- Aeroplane
- Daisy
- Gratuitous
- Sierk

I also found this sentence on some pronunciation website, include this is you can handle it.

"Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station."

You can upload your recordings on sendspace, since it's free and doesn't require an account, and can paste the download link where ever and to whoever you want (just leave the email sections blank). http://www.sendspace.com/

Don't be shy!

not stupid hab, which isn't a word, and BOX. IT'S NOT A BOX - IT'S A FANSITE.

-rep for not knowing the etymology behind Habbox ;| it's from a time when there were rooms like Newsbox and Snewsbox made by Habbo staff (who used to actually go on the hotel and make friends) and then a whole slurry of things like Sexbox and Gothbox or whatever cropped up as hangout places so it IS a box nerrrr

[jasey]

Your voice is distorted but i can still hear it. You have a deep voice and nice accent!

How kind! Thank you, Eric. Smiles!
