Tanit  +  412586 Sat, 01 Sep 07 10:18 AM MrP, Thanks for answering my question I've noticed some features of what you call "hard pronounciation" ("k" vs "tch") in the mp3's I downloaded from the website posted by Feebs. I also noticed differences regarding "u" and "v"... They really make words seem different from the ones I'm used to Tanit Joined on Mon, Jul 31 2006 Senior Member 3,040 There is no greater pain than to remember a happy time when one is in misery.

It makes the writings of Roman authors sound strangely genial and family-friendly. MrP MrPedantic Joined on Tue, Oct 12 2004 Veteran Member 12,592 ...opella forensis / adducit febris...
