What bad English?  I wish that I could write as fluently in Spanish or Italian as you do in English

Hi everybody =)

I'm new in this Old Norse stuff and I'm having some trouble with pronunciation. I couldn't find audio files with simple sentences that I could reapet, I just found readings that are a little bit too fast for me to fully understand the pronunciation. Most of the websites have indications of the phonetic alphabet, but I'm afraid I'm not pronuncing it correctly, since there's no one to correct me. I listened to the words that are on the group files, but I still feel I need listening to more stuff. So, is there any place where I can find "slow-read" audio files?

Thanks!
And sorry for my bad english.
