I think for the April Adventure, I'll try the open section in this project, if I may. :) And it gives the added bonus of filling it up!

I only stuck 5 seconds at the end of the recording.

I hope I pronounced the names even remotely correctly! :lol:

That was fast - thank you Tricia! :thumbs:

I'm sure our DPL will greatly complain about your pronunciation - should there be anything wrong with it!

Nice work, Tricia. Only one note. :)

A stumble at about 29:44 "They knew the... They knew the science of their craft..."

(I wouldn't know the difference, even if you did butcher all the pronunciations, so no complaints there! :D )

At 21:14, I tried my best to pronounce "Champêtre." I tried over 20 takes and this one was my best. I know how it's supposed to sound but I'm not physically able to make the right sounds. French is not nice. I hope my pronunciation is acceptable.

I feel the same way about French. I just can't do it! Especially that gurgley R sound they have. :roll: It just won't come out right.

I'll listen tomorrow, probably.

Thank you Logan!

Champêtre - Cham like in Champaigne, and petre like in... no idea. :lol:
Don't worry too much, it'll be fine.

The name I hate most is that of a Mr. Muir, a Canadian Geographer if I remember correctly. I never know how to pronounce it, and I had a section once somewhere where he was mentioned all the time. :shock: He must have been a very important person, since half of Canada is named after him. :lol:

Well, I have a special dictionary app that has a audio pronunciation for every single word. In some takes I put the word r or k or ch or whatever it is, but for some reason it always sounded offensive to the French when I tried it; I just realized I left the sound out in the take I used.

Great, thanks a lot!

I guess I'll have a look at what the other two readers have been up to in the last two months... :wink:
