Instructions: Please recite the following paragraph. Press the 'add audio submission' button to record and submit this exercise.

A highway is a main road people use to travel between different public places. Highways connect cities, towns, and villages. Sometimes, drivers pay money to use the highway, and sometimes highways are free. Highways can go over water, across bridges, and through tunnels. Highways can also go up, down, or under mountains. Some highways have homes or businesses on them. Other highways don't have any buildings on them.

    Excellent, Julia, but you pronounced "water" with an American inflection. Please listen to your recording. Geoff.

    Actually, the way you pronounce "water" is better than good. It's the way we say it in America. Excellent.

    Wow! Very, very, good! You almost sound like a native! =] Your German accent is practically un-noticeable. Keep up the good work! (And it's ok to pronounce 'water' with an American accent. ;) lol)

    Well...just amazing once more. The pronunciation of the word 'water' varies, according to the type of english you're speaking. But, all in all, you're more than perfect as far as I'm concerned. Haben Sie MSN? Weiter so. Saulo Braune Collet
