In fact the files have two tracks. On Fri, Oct 13, 2017 at 8:13 PM, Andrew Glynn <aglynn42@gmail.com> wrote:
Oh good, glad the French version is still there. I was starting to go through it a couple of weeks ago and plan to continue starting this weekend. Although my mother tongue is English, at one point I was fluently bilingual (both Quebecois and actual French), and it's a chance to get some of it back while picking up information I've likely missed on less obvious features.
I can understand French well enough, but the more I hear it spoken the better. Reading/writing don't get rusty as easily.
Of course speaking it would be even better, but I don't get many chances to do so in Toronto âº.

Now you can also have the french + subtitles.

Hello Stef,
I will ask one guy thursday and let you know.
Thanks a lot!
We will release Mooc with english voices (not mine else english nati ves would get an heart attack - I have what they call a sexy french accents ;)
I did watch few of your Pharo-related presentations and, although not native, happily survived. :-)
Moreover, I'd say that your English is charming! At least, one is sure that the real human is speaking and not some "robot" put on auto-pilot, so if the new Mooc is going to be the same as the current/old one, I'd prefer to download the current files and watched them along with *.srt subtitles?
Iow. my point is that the accent is just one part of the talk/teaching, but the energy behind it is much more imporant - this is, my conviction, based on my own teaching experiences.
Sincerely, Gour
