hi, I had a bit of time, so I quickly made this file for you. Once very slow to copy, then at a natural pace, so you know where to stress:

Recording time: 0:44 min.

If you wish me to listen to your attempt, just PM me once you're ready

Any chance you could do one more for me for the same project? This time, it can just be read at a moderate pace (I don't need the slowed version - I'm getting better at copying). It's isolated phrases:

M. Flourens

Examen du Livre de M. Darwin sur l'Origine des Espèces

Académie Française

Académie des Sciences

Institut de France

Thankyou if you're able

A project I'm BCing has 2 pages of a French quotation. Would anyone be willing to record it and then we splice it into the other reader's chapter?
(p.96-97)

Bonjour, mon Francophone friends, I have a 'paste-in' recording assignment request that's probably a little more involved than the usual French phrases and sayings - it''s entire paragraphs from chapter nine of 'The Voice and Public Speaking by John Poole Sandlands (a bi-lingual author apparently aiming mostly at bi-lingual readers

) Here's the link to the chapter: https://archive.org/details/b28123281/page/152/mode/1up and there is a total of four passages written entirely in French: pps 152,158, 161 and 170-171. (Exactly where to stop and start, is of course... self-explanatory shall we say). Merci very much and I'm sure we'll make a wonderful 'duet' of sorts for our listeners. Give me you handle and I'll give you full credit at the end when I tell them who I am.

Thank you,
Brize Crize

Seen. I'll be happy to help you and record it tomorrow

A bientôt,
Isad

Fabuleux, Isad! Merci beau coup! I think our listeners are really going to enjoy the dual language presentation, adds an element of authenticity to the material (especially so if they at least dabble a bit in both languages of course). Looking forward to it!
