What do you think of this guy's pronunciation?

Does anybody think that this guy qualifies as an instructor of English pronunciation? He says he is an expert in the field, but I..., well, please try the file and let me know what you think. Thank you.
fungi, Josh Lalonde,
Thanks for the replies. fungi, that was not mine. The guy is kind of like a net stalker and he THINKS he is something. Josh, that's what I think, too.
BTL, it seems the guy needs to either learn the phonemes and stress or go to the NOVA, or else teach English to ROBOTs.
Michelle, your comment sounds more like a fact than an opinion.
Thank you.
lol no... it's a lot easier for me to say stuff like that with the anonymity of the internet and not looking the guy in the face...
However, his pronunciation is really bad... So maybe I would tell him to his face that he shouldn't be an English pronunciation teacher... lol who knows?
Well, it does say "Eikaiwa", so maybe that is a clue, ne...
I know that many people probably know what Eikaiwa is, but... Eikaiwa: Japanese for English conversation.
Thanks for the comment, Skippy.
Here's another one. I wonder what it will make you say this time. lol http://www.eikaiwanopl.jp/stream/onsei/kei004.wav
Det's look up the wa(r)d in the dictionary...
Let's look up the word in the dictionary... Hey! He gets better! Why did you bring this here, BLT? Do you have a grudge against this guy or is it just to mock him?
I think I found the site. The person starts his explanation this way,
私はこの英会話の発音とリスニングをインターネットで公開したいと思ったのは大きな理由があります。 If you know this man/guy, why don't you invite him here? He seems really interested in English pronunciation and listening.
I wanted to know what native speakers would think of the guy's pronunciation, K.T. I don't know the guy, so I can't invite him here. Plus, he wouldn't be able to discuss anything either in English.
And did you notice, K.T., that in that site you found, the guy is trying to sell some materials on English pronunciation and even offering private lessons. Then, don't you think "Does this guy qualify as an instructor of English pronunciation?" is quite a natural question? |
