I downloaded the files and listened to some of them. They consist
entirely of words spoken first in English, then in German. The only
value I find is that there are several speakers, male and female, with
what I take to be different regional dialects. Unless the license
would enable us to segment the files into entries in a small bilingual
spoken dictionary.
