Introduction
We are looking to work with native speakers of Korean, Portuguese, Greek, Czech, and Polish for this assignment. This will be a paid assignment to individuals from various foreign countries for doing a short video shoot of various commonly used phrases and sentences in their native language.

Our company is working on a Language Phrasebook App for mobile platforms including iPhone and Android. We have developed a product that is aimed at providing visitors/tourists in non-English speaking countries a tool to effectively communicate in the native language of the country. Hence, for example, if you are visiting China on a holiday or business trip, chances are you would need to speak the language to get around, order meals and shop around. Our software will help you do that by being a constant companion on your trip.

We have already produced and released our Thai Language App called "Thai Language Hostess".

Why only women?
The primary reason for having female applicants only is that our first criteria is to have consistency in the voice across all categories of phrases. Hence we need to choose between male only vs. female only. For an app like this we feel that female voices work better as the voice is softer compared to male voices. Also, the app is named "Language Hostess".
