We want you to read the sample text below plus a short introduction about yourself (max 3 minutes). So two recordings per language. In the introduction you can tell us anything about yourself, for example a childhood experience, how you like to spend your free time or anything else personal that you feel comfortable to share with us.

Sample texts:
