I'm a Brit but speak dutch as a second language; I'd be keen to do chapter 8 (Holland).
I would just like to clarify the pronunciation rules though: are all the proper nouns and place names are to be pronounced as in the native language?
So for example "Utrecht" without MC/PL guidance I would pronounce as "OO - t r eh kh t " but the American received pronunciation is more like "Yu - tre kk t". Do you want closer to native or closer to US received?
Thanks,
Debs

As for pronunciation, we don't usually comment so long as it is understandable. As you have some knowledge of Dutch, you could definitely make use of that. If you come across words you are unfamiliar with, we just ask you 'do your best'... although, to be honest, I personally feel we should make every effort to find correct pronunciation for proper nouns but that isn't the policy.
I'd like to record Section 14 -- Big Game Animals of America

I actually have the recording ready, so I can upload it right away if you approve

Apologies, Lynnet--I didn't mean any offense by "jumping the gun".
This is my first week since February that I've had time to volunteer and I've just been so excited to record! Next week I'm back in school, so my free time is going to be pretty much non-existent again, lol!

Also, as a note to PL: on page 6 " CARIBOU In its summer coat, with its antlers 'in the velvet'" is a sentence fragment inserted in the middle of a section about rocky mountain goats. I can add it back in, but I think it was a typo.

It's not a problem... from my point of view. But just think how frustrated you'd be if you did a 47 minute recording (which took 2 hours + I imagine) and I had assigned it to someone else in the meantime. I'll PL as soon as I can... I'm supposed to be working, so we'll see how bored I get
