He is japanese and he teaches japanese people how to pronounce english sounds.
I'd like to make sure that this guy qualifies as an instructor of English pronunciation.
Please try the files above and let me know what you think.
Thank you.

I had some difficulty in understand many of the words in isolation (audio2). The sentences all sound stilted, with little natural inflection. As far as pronunciation itself is concerned, I would rate it as very good.

Thank you for your reply!So his individual sounds are great, but he has a problem in intonation and he sounds unnatural as a whole?

He has one or two mispronunciations in 1 and 3.
Tren for train.
Wallds for worlds.
Bolldly for boldly.
Mostly, though, it is good, but does not sound quite like a native speaker.
