Real voices: how native speakers say it

These sentences were read aloud by real people — native Japanese speakers — for the open Mozilla Common Voice project. Listen to how a phrase sounds in real speech: the intonation, the pace, the way words run together. Two speakers mean two different people read it — compare them.

私たち夫婦は、軍の依頼で、中国人運転手の通訳をしながら、上海まで、逃避行の同伴をした。
わたしたちふうふは、ぐんのいらいで、ちゅうごくじんうんてんしゅのつうやくをしながら、しゃんはいまで、とうひこうのどうはんをした。My husband and I, at the military's request, accompanied a Chinese driver as interpreters on a flight to Shanghai.
