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.
周りの歓声が大きくて歌声が聞こえない
まわりのかんせいがおおきくてうたごえがきこえないThe surrounding cheers were so loud I couldn't hear the singing.
みんなは私を歓迎してくれた。
みんなはわたしをかんげいしてくれた。Everyone welcomed me.
冬が長くて辛ければ、それだけ、歓びも大きいのだ。
ふゆがながくてつらければ、それだけ、よろこびもおおきいのだ。If winter is long and harsh, then the joy is all the greater.
