Hi English speakersđ Could you please correct my pronouciation? Thanks very much! Here's the textđ
President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, proud parents, and, above all, graduates.
The first thing I would like to say is âthank you.â Not only has Harvard given me an extraordinary honour, but the weeks of fear and nausea I have endured at the thought of giving this commencement address have made me lose weight. A win-win situation! Now all I have to do is take deep breaths, squint at the red banners and convince myself that I am at the worldâs largest Gryffindor reunion.
I would appreciate it a lot if you could record your audio in American pronouciation because I can only find the British version onlineđThanks for your help.

I think you pronunciation is beautiful! The word âwouldâ was a bit off, probably the combination of the initial /w/ and the following vowel (which should be lax, not tense). The word âIâ needs to be clearer in âI have enduredâ. Mainly, you need to work on feeling more confident, so that you can communicate your positive emotions more powerfully. Even so, your âwin-win situationâ comment cracked me up :D
