So many of us can read a little, write a little, and translate a little, but don't have a clue how to pronounce the words, this is truly a gift to us. I would highly recommend the book and CD by Albert White Hat. The CD tells how to pronounce the words and is very good. I am giving it my best shot, but this is very much like French (wonder why that is) and has lots of rolling sounds and throat vibrations, if you know what I mean. DarkWolfe
