need help from a native speaker please!
 
Hello!

today I made a phonetic alphabet for next school year - I �ve realized over the years that pronounciation is really tough for my French pupils... (the idea is not mine, http://sitasima.pagesperso-orange.fr/phono_fichiers/phono.htm)

I �ve made a worksheet (a bookmark actually which will be uploaded soon i hope) and i �d like to make a powerpoint with sounds, but i �m not a native speaker and although my pronounciation isn �t that bad it �s far from perfect so i �d like a native speaker to record the expressions below...
could someone eventually record it? if it were possible to pause for 5 seconds between each expression so I can easily cut the recording later with audacity it would be totally awesome!!!

here is the list:
a big pig - a red hen - a black cat - a hot dog - a funny duck - a good bull
a brown cow - a grey snake - a wild tiger - a scary bear - a fearful deer - an old goat
an American gorilla
a blue kangaroo - a small horse - a dark shark - a purple bird - a green sheep
a happy hedgehog - a yellow unicorn - a white wolf - a thin panther - a mother and a father - an orange giraffe - a shy fish - a cheeky chimp

thank you so much for your help!!!

all the best

This is a great idea! I hope the recordings you received were of suitable quality. If you could share the resource here, I would really appreciate it.

Feel free to PM me if you need another version of the recording.

Try http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/pron/ where all the hard work is done for you. Downloadable from the �videos � link on that page. It will take some time, as there are 45 clips and PDF files (44 sounds and one Intro) @ some 400Mb. But they are worth the trouble, I can assure you (and anyone else). Cheers, Peter.
