| It would be useful if you had something written in your "Location" field, so that we know what is your native language (therefore knowing what your regular pronounciation are). |

There are plenty of text-to-speech synthesizers around, some are more reliable than others. Here are few from Google Tranlsate, just click on the 'listen' button: http://translate.google.com/#it%7Cit%7CLe%20Orme" rel="nofollow - Le Orme (although 'Le' is not perfect) http://translate.google.com/#de%7Cde%7CIhre%20Kinder" rel="nofollow - Ihre Kinder http://translate.google.com/#fi%7Cfi%7Cigra%20staklenihh%20perli" rel="nofollow - Igra Staklenih Perli (that's closest I can get) ------------- |
