Deep breath...... this is great. And it was done by a volunteer who, I guess wasn't paid, and it's public domain...and I'm very grateful and it's very useful but, God does it grate. The impression is that it is spoken by someone whose native language is Latin and whose English pronunciation needs work. e.g. Tribute is pronounced Trybute (as in I try to pronounce English words); Difficulty is pronounced with the stress on second 'i'. diff-IC-ulty as in facility....I have never heard anyone, native speaker or foreign, pronounce difficulty like this. Very odd. Weren't there any volunteers whose first language is actually English?
Excellent.
Thanks
This is fantastic!! Thank you!
