Read-aloud uses a synthetic Japanese voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Japanese device voice is available. You can still read the text and use the linked listening resources.
Watch out
仲 and 中 both occur in words read なか, but 中 usually means inside or middle. 仲がいい describes a good relationship, not a physical location.
