I used to live in Okinawa and visited Mainland often, so I have a great love for the Japanese language. I also love language in general, which is why I am pursuing a career in linguistics! I hope to teach English as a second language in Japan next year, so I am preparing for that by studying Japanese like crazy!

Anyway, I need three native Japanese speakers for a phonetics project investigating vowel length differences between Japanese and English, so if you're a native speaker and you have a microphone, I could use your help! All you have to do is record a list of 24 Japanese words.
