Learn to read: guide to scala 1 I will read the following words very slowly. --------------- sentence ------------ The Neophyte's Guide to Scala Part 1: Extractors More than 50,000 people signed up for Martin Odersky’s course “Functional Programming Principles in Scala” at Coursera. That’s a huge number of developers for whom this might have been the first contact with Scala, functional programming, or both. --------------- end ----------------- If you found anything wrong or can be improved, could you please tell me, thank you very much!

The word "programming" is stressed on the first syllable.  I call the company that puts out these courses cor SER a with the stress on the second sound. 

You paused at "whom" where there is no comma.  This pause disrupted the flow of thought.

You also omitted an indefinite article and blurred the transition from some words.

Watch for words ending in "or" such as "extractors".  It is pronounced as if it were and "er".

 

Your English is very good.

 

The coursera courses are very interesting.  My objection is the the ownership of assignments.  I took a course and did all the homework and exercises.  My solutions were very good but I didn't want to give up all rights to my code as I had reused the code from courses I had taught in Java and I am not sure I
"own" my own code.

哈哈,是比慢速VOA更慢的曲刚快步英语。我听力和发音都不太准,所以要找很慢的反复练。多谢你指出的问题,我会继续加油的。不过感觉像'ng','pl','th'这样的,实在太难发音了,不知道什么时候才能学得像。

你听慢速VOA听多了吧,太慢了。慢的都不像英语了。 不过嗓音不错。Extractors,thousand, functional programming 发音不太准,其他还好。 Way to go!

@Doris Day, thank you very much. The `ng` and `pl` are difficult, thanks for pointing out for me. I will learn more to improve it. And thanks for your kind word, I'll keep speaking in this way :)

Many people said they can't hear the voice here. So I upload my voice to: https://soundcloud.com/freewind-2/learn-guide-to-scala . You can listen from there.
