   I can’t open it at work but my guess is that it is the “language and pronounciation files”?!I laugh(ed) too. They are precious. The female voice who says things “as they are supposedly said” might be a bit computer-like in her very _accurate_ slow pronounciation, but it isn’t wrong. It makes it all the more fun of course 😉

   btw, I think one of my faves is “Sju sjösjuka sjömän på skeppet Shanghai sköljde sju skjortor i sjön.” or “Sex laxar i en laxask” since those are hard even for Swedish natives, if they are spoken fast…A link to read, if not to hear :http://www.alphadictionary.com/fun/tongue-twisters/swedish_tongue_twisters.html

   Oh, sorry, maybe I messed up the link – it’s supposed to be a song about Sweden, I didn’t hear the computer-like pronunciation stuff. Like you I can’t access this at work – it’ll have to wait until I get home.

   p.s. the shared MP3 is linked from this page – see the “Baltic Sea” link at the bottom.

   Does “somewhat cute” mean that you do or do not want to kick my butt for posting this? 😉
