Kaixo, Patxi naiz (e)ta Euskal Herritik etortzen naiz*. Orain dela lau urte Bielefeld-en bizi naiz, Alemanian, iparraldean. (E)ta oso ondo, hemen Alemanian oso ondo bizitzen naiz* (e)ta... Neguak ein bisschen (sic)... Neguak oso luzeak dira.
Comments:-The two verbal forms marked with a * are inadecuate, it should be "nator" instead of "etortzen naiz" and "bizi naiz" instead of "bizitzen naiz".-"Eta", the connector "and", is correctly written and pronounced as "eta" but it is common to hear it pronounced "ta" like in the audio, and even to see it written that way.
