    Hahahaha, I was so nervous filming this. Critiques welcome.

    Première vidéo en français :



    I don't know what came over me, I think my fatigue from studying and pulling weird hours gave me a strange kind of courage.

    I should get a Spanish video out within the week, so hold on to the edge of your seats.

    As far as the technical aspect, the video was quite easy to make and upload. I'm on Windows with a Logitech C555 and the software that comes with the camera has a built-in "upload to YouTube" option. I decided to use that without expecting a whole lot, but it worked perfectly and once it was uploaded the only change I had to make was editing the video title and description.

    That was awesome! Nice bike in the background too. I've have a lot of comments about the plastic bottles behind me; maybe I need to replace them with my bike.

    Thanks, both of you.

    I am actually thinking of moving my whole journal over here because the loading speeds on HTLAL lately have simply become ridiculous for me and it is getting unbearable. I really don't feel like waiting minutes at a time just to load a simple frickin' page of a forum thread, with it timing out or giving some error in the end half the time anyway...

    I loved your French! Well spoken, articulate, great accent, if you can do this half asleep, I look forward to seeing what you can do when you are awake :)

    Thanks, Cristina! Your French in your video with Richard is beautiful so that means a lot, coming from you.

    When emk and I were practicing French in a Hangout the other day, I suggested that we record one of our conversations sometime, so maybe you all will get to see me interact with people in the language as well soon.

    of course we have liked your video LOL

    Your pronunciation is very well, and extremely clear. It's very good after only 2 year and half when you've studied alone.
