I really like your lessons -- is there any way you can add some sound to the lessons so I can hear how the phrases actually sound? I really appreciate the effort you put into these lessons.

Thanks, RC. I’m working on organizing these lessons onto a website; one of my projects has been to clean the noise off the audio files before uploading them to the website. I’m also trying to put more of the lessons on YouTube, as I did with lesson four. This whole project (blog, video, etc.) has been put onto the backburner for a few weeks due to some more pressing concerns of mine, but stay tuned for more updates in November!
