Section 8 is well over an hour in length - will this be broken up and need to be PLed separately? If so, I think I'll wait so I only need to do it once.

I'm very surprised about this. The length is 1:38:37, which, I think, is too long for a section. I might have to PM Bill Boerst (dread) about this. I think it will need to be split into two sections and we'll have to add another section to this project to fit it in. However, I'll contact Bill first to make sure there hasn't been a mistake here because I thought he divided this into two parts on the 13th of March.putzy a wrote:Sections 4 & 17 is PL OK.

Thanks Bill! The length should be fine as long as the file is PL OK.dread wrote:I have uploaded the correct version of Part 3 of Samuel Johnson's A Grammar of the English Tongue. The recording URL is http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/le/languagelearning001_tongue3_wjb.mp3
. The source URL is http://www.gutenberg.org/files/15097/15097-h/15097-h.htm. This part turns out to be considerably shorter than the other three. If you want me to balance the parts, let me know.

Excellent, Jon! Thanks for that! The project is now almost complete. We just need some proof-listening and it will be ready to catalogue.composr wrote:Well, well, well, the deliquent, prodigal child has returned!
I'm a little bit unsure about one or two spots, mostly because I also am used to a different pronunciation system. As best I can tell, his pronunciations loosely resemble Late West-Saxon, but with some simplifications in the vowels, and a few changes in the consonants. If all sounds well, however, then that is good enough for me.
Cassiane, I look forward to your feedback especially, and will give your sections a listen as well.Good luck.
I'll leave it up to Cassiane whether or not to make the changes suggested above, as we have quite an open policy regarding pronunciation. The only requirement is that it be intelligible and follow the text.composr wrote:Cassiane,
Overall, I'm really, really impressed, and found you to have a better pronunciation than most people I come across. I can get fairly annoyed with people inserting their normal (usually American) accents into a foreign language, especially a dead one. I know it's hard for us to get this right consistently, because we just don't immerse ourselves in the sounds often enough to have it be second nature. That's a goal of mine, but we'll see how it goes. :p
Do you want to change it? If so, please make the change asap so we can get this catalogued.composr wrote:In other notes, I've found a huge mistake in my section, by calling ę an e-cedilla, when in fact it is e-ogonek. :p I can re-record that if it is deemed a big enough error.
Thanks!!!putzy a wrote:Hi Nicholas,
