Seeking volunteers for a linguistic research about Japanese speakers of English!

To all the Japanese people!

Greetings,

I am writing a research paper on Japanese accent of English as my MA thesis, studying linguistics at the Szczecin University in Poland.

I have a list of random sentences in English (about two pages of them) that I would need them to be read out loud and recorded.

The quality of the recording doesn't need to be high - but there should be as little background noise as possible (so a quiet room would be a good idea) for the computer to analyze the audio files properly.

You don't have to worry about whether you English sounds "proper" - on the contrary, you could pronounce the sentences as if you were speaking Japanese. This is a scientific research to find out more about the influence of Japanese on pronunciation of English, not a test - you will not be judged in any way.

If you're be interested in participating, please contact me and I will send you the sentences to be recorded.

Kind Regards,

Jakub Gadomski.
