A couple of notes for consideration:
- Although I found both French and Dutch pronunciations of "de Jonghe", I opted for the Dutch since he was base in Amsterdam (of course, his first name was Clement, so I may be wrong).
- Lyrist, it rather annoyingly turns out, has two meanings and two pronunciations. Given the context, i.e. the mention of poetry, I went with the writer of lyrics rather than the player of the lyre.
- Last but not least, I found various pronunciations of Ruysdael and probably butchered it completely in an ill considered attempt to use all of them at once.
I leave it up to the poor PLer to tell me what I should fix!

Thanks!

Oh, I think are quite fine with the pronunciations and the reading!
Thrilled to mark this PL OK.
Thank you so much for your fine contribution to this project.

No, up to lightcrystal to get us the last chapter, and we can put this little gem out for the listening public to enjoy.

Don't put too much pressure on me :)

Let me get back into it tonight.
I use Linux. I also like penguins.

Wow! That was fast! Thanks for coming up with this project. It was a lot of fun to read - and a lot of fun to look at examples of their work online. I really enjoy projects where I not only get to read good writing but also learn some interesting things in the process.

Didn't mean to put pressure on you, but it is nice to have this chapter to complete this book!
Thank you so much. The two of you have done such a great job, and we're happy to present this to the public.

And thanks to Lynett for MC duties on this project.

Congratulations to all. :clap:

Thank you everyone! I enjoyed reading this, even with the French words that I am not the best at! Eventually the method that I worked out, especially in section 4, was to find a site where a French person says the word [https://www.howtopronounce.com/ or YouTube]. Then I recorded the French words, imitating the French person the best that I could. Then I recorded the rest, leaving gaps where a French word occurred. Then I put my earlier imitations into the gaps. It was funny because I had dealt with Russian words a week ago so I had to go from a harder language to something much softer! :)
