このラピッドシェアのファイルは僕の声です。僕は日本語の訛を知りません。でも、頑張りました！
This Rapidshare file is my voice. I don't know the Japanese accent. But, I tried my best!

I couldn't listen to the file because apparently I've reached the limit for free users. But I figured I'd let you know that 訛り means "accent" like "he has a Midwestern accent," not like "the accent on this word is on the first syllable." The word you want is アクセント (I know, not very exotic...). The "Japanese accent" that you don't know is closer to the latter than the former, as the former would refer to a Tokyo accent or an Osakan accent or a Nagoya accent, etc. 例えば、私の英語は訛っていますよ。でも英語のネイティブだから、英語のアクセントを考えずにできます。

FYI, there's another word that is used for that purpose and is called "抑揚" （よくよう）, which should be "pitch-accent"

I think that's more like intonation than accent.

My translation of Japanese is bad enough...thanks for the headsup.

Apparently this should be the translation that I was looking for: 高低アクセント (pitch accent) 「高低アクセント」で始まる言葉 - 英和・和英辞書

No problem. やはり世の中持ちつ持たれつですよね。

Your accent sounds pretty good to me. Only one problem is that your 僕 sounds like ぼうく. The /o/ should be shorter. On a grammatical note, the last sentence should be:

僕の日本語はどう(×だと）思いますか。

Thanks for the replies, guys. I was more worried about my 'r' than my 'boku,' but I'll have to watch.

You mean "僕の日本語はどう思いますか。"

JimmySeal · 4 May 2007

Yep, that's what I mean.

I fully agree. Sounds like ぼぉく..

And maybe it's my RealPlayer acting up, but I couldn't really hear your "s" of the "です".

It is pretty good though!! Keep up the good work!!
