Dear Reader!

I am a teacher of English in Hungary and I am compiling texbooks (elementary, intermediate, advanced) for learners of English. Where I live it is quite hard to find native English speakers. I am trying to collect spoken material for these publications. What I need is any spoken text in mp3 format that I can use. If you are a native speaker or know one and willing to take the trouble of recording a few sentences for me, I'll be more than happy. If you read a sentence from a book or other copyrighted material, make sure that the part you choose doesn't involve names and other features characteristic of only that piece of writing. If you choose public domain material or you just make up a few sentences of your own for me it is no problem. The length is optional, from 1 sentence to a few minutes of audio. If you're willing to help, please send your recordings to my e-mail address.
Don't forget to say at the end of the recording: "I give permission to Attila Lengyel to use this recording in his language teaching publication."

I am looking forward to your kind contribution

Yours faithfully

Attila Lengyel
Hungary

I understand what you expect and totally agree your requirement for native voice, but in my poor opinion, first i never deny what the original comes fruitful, yet there're some other national features will beyond any history-set things and even vastly change the traditional one into something that is more native.
Pls trust somebody can still make a great achievement without any :) questions.
