5. My Treasures By Robert Louis Stevenson (1885)THESE nuts, that I keep in the back of the nestWhere all my lead soldiers are lying at rest,Were gathered in autumn by nursie and meIn a wood with a well by the side of the sea.This whistle we made (and how clearly it sounds! 5By the side of a field at the end of the grounds.Of a branch of a plane, with a knife of my own,It was nursie who made it, and nursie alone!The stone, with the white and the yellow and gray,We discovered I cannot tell how far away; 10And I carried it back although weary and cold,For though father denies it, I’m sure it is gold.But of all my treasures the last is the king.For there’s very few children possess such a thing;And that is a chisel, both handle and blade, 15Which a man who was really a carpenter made.I registered my voice to vocaroo: http://vocaroo.com/?media=v7zTN4bGcbbvBHX8k

  • It's so true what Reiziuh said. These recordings help us put a voice to a name, and makes Internet friends that much more "real"! The barking cracked me up. When I'm recording the monthly news I sometimes have to start over because of a lawnmower or puppy.

    Glad you found Vocaroo. Thanks for sharing. I use Garage Band, but I'll try to share some free recorders on the original post.
  • Thank you Xkalibur,
    Yes,lol,my dog was barking outside on the yard,and I have forgotten open the window!:D
  • Hi,
    Very nice, with an emphasise.

    I can even hear a dog barking while you're reading. ))
  • Hello Reiziuh,
    Thank you for your appreciation,I'm happy my pronunciation is understandable.
    My native language doesn't belong to the Indoeuropian family,and has nothing to do with Latin languages,though I speak French too.
    The origin of the Hungarian language is one of the several mysteries that surround the early history of the Magyars. For long it has been believed that Hungarian belongs to the Ugric branch of the Uralic language family based on a relatively large number of words (~300-400) of Finno-Ugric origin in the language. Hungarian, like other Finno-Ugric languages is agglutinative, which means word meanings are modified by adding different and multiple endings or suffixes to the words, rather than using prefixes like, for example, in English.
    It's said,that the grammer of my language is very complicated to learn for a foreigner,and it's true.
    Hungarian is one of the most difficult languages of the world,but one of the most beautiful one as well!
