Fun! If you ever need help pronouncing languages other than English, there's a forum topic dedicated to that right here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=40285

Still going strong on chapter 3! I somehow lost half of my recording and am now working on redoing it.

I thought I saved but I must not have! Ohhhhh technology! Chapter 3 should be done in the next few days.

Sounds good! Ready to listen whenever it's up!

I DID IT!!! It only took me 98 years to record this chapter, but it's done and uploaded. Let me know when you've had a minute to listen to it! I'll start working on chapter 4!

You're right, that was a ton of French! But very enjoyable! Section 3 is PL OK.

I apologize to the people of France and all of its territories - but I'm glad you didn't think I butchered it too badly!

I'll get going on chapter 4 this week. It's not as long and, if memory serves, doesn't have 6 whole sentences of French in it!

Aaaaaaaaaaand here's chapter 4! It's amazing how much quicker I can get a chapter recorded when my husband isn't home and there's no French in it!

Here's chapter 5! https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/thosebarrenleaves_05_huxley_128kb.mp3

I'm going to keep knocking out these shorter chapters this week. Eager for your feedback (and hope you're doing well!)!

Doing great! Section 4 is PL OK. I will listen to Section 5 tomorrow morning!

Amazing! Thank you! I'll have chapter 6 done either tomorrow or the following day.

TheThirdDoctorLight · October 12th, 2021, 5:38 am

Section 5 is PL OK!

Chapter 6 is ready to go! https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/thosebarrenleaves_06_huxley_128kb.mp3

I'll be on a business trip for the next week, so I won't have 7 done until after I get back.

Ch. 6 is PL OK! Hope you have a pleasant trip!
