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.

私は時々私自身に対して神のように寛大になる。
わたしはときどきわたしじしんにたいしてかみのようにかんだいになる。Sometimes I am as generous to myself as a god.
