He now resides in Kaosiong, Taiwan. I feel lucky enough to have met him on my trip back to Taiwan just last weekend~ He does speak Esperanto very well, I agree.
And a little about Iran. In fact the last Sunday on which I met him was the 1st day of a new year on Iranian calendar! He shared with us La Nobla Korano and the 7 objects with name starting with "S" that Iranians put up to celebrate the No'Ruz ("new year" in persian, I believe.)

Now seriously, Leo's proununciation sounds to me a little Japanese, notice the way he sometimes prounounces the "s", which is really like what I heard during my trip to Tokyo.
Maybe that's because he learnt his Esperanto from his father?

LyzTyphone:I can't notice anything Japanese about the s (don't we all pronounce our 's's likewise? ) but he definitely has a Japanese colouring to his accent. It's that pan-asia thing, where many eastern asian accents have this either sing-songy feel to them, or they have this sort of crispy vowel length and stress/tone* thing happening. It's a very nice accent.Ĉina Radio Internacia podcast: Here you could compare chinese e-on pronouncation and german e-on pronouncation. (25 minutes) Leo (de germana esperanto junularo).

*I say "stress/tone" because it's the same thing as stress only rather than just lengthening the vowel and making it louder, the intonation instead goes up a bit. Very nice sounding (also nice to listen to are some chinese accents when the tones that would otherwise be used to differentiate between different words are allowed to run free in their speech, sounds very interesting to listen to )
(Also interesting is how European vowels always seem to have a bit of colouring and often sound a bit more "diphthongy", even in languages not dominated by them, than their Japanese counterparts).

ceigered:I know that the Thuringian also put a very strong sing-song into their speech. (Maybe in Franconia, too.) Not directly at the borderline to Saxony in the east. But generaly across Thuringia. So there exist at least one German accent which sounds sing-songy, too. Leo grews up in north Bavaria which isn't located that far away from Thuringia. Even if there was the death strip/Todesstreifen between for some times. (very less dialect mixup evolution)
