Description of what is on the sound file:
Hi. I'm a non-native Mandarin speaker from Canada. I started learning Mandarin with Pimsleur, but I've used many other resources since then.

I decided to record a welcome message at two speeds: fast and slow. The fast version is much faster than my normal conversational speed, so you may notice that I start to sound a little sloppy. The slow version is very artificial sounding and similar to the speed used in beginners' language learning materials. Enjoy!
