I took some days off .... in order to get my visa (just received it!) and enjoy the holidays a bit.
Just came back from a short trip et je suis pret pour la nouvelle annee.
Soon, the podcast will resume (the 2 from last year) plus the new one for this 2007 year. Et chose promise, chose due, you will be surprised by the new transcript.
More news and infos with the Newsletter from December (due around the end of this week).
Well, not true. I am always late, and am known for that with all my friends (their trick me now by giving me, every now and then, an earlier schedule from the normal one, so I am still late, but I will be in advance!).
Peu importe, all of that to say, that the podcast 66 and 67 will be out soon (they are ready to record).
Podcast 68 and 69 will follow very quickly. No podcast for the following
2 weeks, as it is Christmas and New year's week end (but a tiny surprise
will be published during the holidays).
I am just in the "Christmas Shopping Process", and more importantly, preparing and grabbing all of my documents for a visa. Just like with the podcast, I like to take my time to be sure I have everything in order. I am also giving a hand to my brother at his job ..... L'esprit de Noel comme ils disent (Christmas spririt as they said!).
The new FLC will be "officially" open in January. We are still testing and posting few things for now, so it can be as smooth and easy as possible.
Voila, voila. Tout ca pour dire, que vous aurez pas mal de podcast pour les vacances. Et qu'ils seront disponible tres bientot.
Apres les votes, on met en place les institutions. Mais
quelles sont elles ? Pas de probleme avec le FrenchPodClass 65!
Le sommaire:
- les elections et les
institutions (part

You can get it, from Amazon in France, here -Maison Bonheur (fr) -
remember, it is a Region 2 DVD (can not be played in most DVD player, unless
it is a region 0 DVD or a region free DVD player or on a computer, if you do not
have "block" your computer DVD player to a region yet!).
This week is relying on

It is important and useful.
I lately have a really hard time to keep up. There is still some talks and discussions that are going on,and still some few things to change.
That is why I prefer, for now, and until the end of the month of October, to do the podcast on a bi-weekly basis.
62 and 63 will be "specials": The #62 will be out soon, and dated on October 7th. The #63, out soon also, will be dated on October 21rd.
After that, the schedule will be back on a weekly basis (with "normal podcast"), so, the 64 will be available for November 4th, 65 on November 11th ......
I know that some of you download the podcast and listen to it as soon as it came out. I am really sorry. Please understand that I am still "alone" to prepare and record those (well, plenty of you actually helspme al lot so thank you).
As soon as the websites are done, talks are ended and some test finished, and if everything is going fine, I am sure you will like it.
Et bien ca alors! Everything is in French, either you want to
use a computer or want to buy / participate in a forum. What to do .....

Well, as you may have
see or guess, am still a little late!
After a short break, I
am still remodeling some few things, and preparing a new transcript – et oui! Le
nouveau pdf serat different. Not much, but will get more infos and features.
I am struggling a bit
with acrobat and word, so if anyone is pretty good with the TOC, let me know!
I am also preparing
some “interactive? features (dictation, flash cards, …).
Je vous promets, ca vaut le coup d’attendre et
d’avoir ete patient! Next podcast
will be here very soon, almost immediatly followed by the 62.
There will be a slight
delay in the next podcast (61). I will try my best to make it available on
Tuesday or Wednesday (the 26th or 27th).
I will also skip the
podcast 62, scheduled on September 23rd, and will broadcast it on
either Saturday the 30th or Saturday, Ocotber 7th. It
will be either a week or 2 off.
The reason for this is
quit simple: I am very late (about a week delay as of today),and just got some
minor problems, that led me to a position were it is impossible for me to keep upfor the next few days (minor issue that bring
me to the doctor in the USA!).
Podcast 62 and 63 will
be specials – After some request, I will do those 2 special ones about more
expressions used every day (news, day to day talks), followed directly by
conversations, to place those in practice!

So what to do now - start talking about the glitch or to thank people ?
Mais bien sur, qu'il faut d'abord remercier, each person that have helped getting that look: Eric & Patricia (for their enormous patience with me!), Kim, Ian, and Ben. I am sure I forgot some, but Thanks Big Time.
It is not yet done - the Blog and the FrenchLearningCenter will get the same "look and feel", wit some nice banner on top.
The new forum is up, and I welcome you to use it and start filling it up.
I am aware of some issue with this new template - those just concern people with Internet Explorer: it seems that the menu on the right side "disapear", when you click to check a comment. No biggies ..... that will be done in time. While waiting for some fixes, I will place the answers for the game under the post itself, everytime a game ends up.
So checkout the new menu on top, feel free to navigate ... and soon will be the merchandise coming!

Moustiers is finally ready - Next step, a "live" version.
Et oui, et oui ! The podcast of this week is a little bit delayed.
That was a rough week. My laptop (main computer) had a LCD issue and had to be sent back. Well, that happens, so I back everything up, and was going to use an old one instead. We never know what could happen.
Et bien, comme un malheur n'arrive jamais seul (as a bad news never came alone), the "in case of" computer had a "hard drive" (disque dur) burnt down.
So, 3 days after, backing up, replacing and putting everything back again together to avoid any data loss, here we are. Small delay in the emails replies, but every thing should be normal by Monday.
I will put online the podcast 44 on Monday evenning (PST).
Thanks for being patient. I know that will be worth the wait, as you will "love" the topic of this week!

Here it goes - I know that the videos
can not be played in the ipod video - That issue will be resolved from now on,
and for the next videos (next podcast).
I just got a new program that works
on my pc, o make some bright new and shiny mp4 format! You will still be able to
play them on itunes or with quicktime directly on the computer.
Nouvelle annee qui s'annonce bientot, c'est le Frenchpodclass #25!
Also - New laptop, Better sound! The frenchpodclass is improving :-)
Pour la Saint Sylvestre, it is still special one - 2 story read in French, with
theair translation on the transcript. They are from some special books, pretty
hard to find (Story a day, by Walt Disney, from the end of the 70s- beginning of
the 80s)
I would like to place an alert on
the songs played in that podcast - They are really known for being played in
partys (birthday, wedding, and ... new year eve!) - But they are cheesy!!!!!!
<<<< you have been warn!

C'est le podcast numero 24 - mais c'est aussi le 24 decembre, veille de
Noel!
Quelquefois, le hasard fait bien les choses.
For Christmas, it will be a
particular podcast - This is the vacation time, and to keep the spirit (and for
me the occasion to take some rest!) you will get 2 stories, both read in French:
- The night before Christmas
- Le Pere Noel et mon papa
There is also some great songs ....
related to Christmas! (especially one that is typically French, and, as far as I
know, never sing in English)

The lyrics appear for sure on the 5th generation of the ipod (video one).
The user guide said that it can do the same with the photo one, but it seems to do not work.
If someone as a nano, it should work too.

1- As I told you, I was interviewed by the magazine Business week. The article was out for the week of
November 28. It is not free from their website, but here is the address :
Business week (the article name is "So you want to be an Internet star ?") -
There is a nice picture of me (in the magazine).
I scanned it, so if you want I can
put an extract of it in the transcript next time (as the article is not free on
the Internet, I do not want to put the entire one).
2 - Also, I made for fun, some
stickers, just like this one - with some different line (like " A certain ... je
ne sais quoi") - If you have some ideas, please let me know, I will be glad to
stick something else on my old laptop, and answers people questions where ever I

Special Video
celebration for the Frenchpodclass 20.
In 10 minutes, you will meet some of the listeners I have met with, meet
the speakers that had the discussions with me (every 2 weeks), and you
will see some awesome musical break (if you liked the one in the video
celebration #10, you will love these!).
Play it in iTunes, it will appear on the artwork (bottom left) - or open
it with QuickTime.
Also, a new "production logo" for the next videos was made .... please
refrain from laughing too much at me! (and let me know if you like
it)
I have at your disposal an excel
spread sheet with a reminder of all of the class done (subject, discussion) and
all of the media reviewed or played (music, book, movie review ...)
Let me know if you want it ....
By the way, I will not propose an
exercise this week end, as the video for the celebration of the #20 had taken me
longer than expected ... but will do one for the #23!
Bonjour a tous,
Due to Thanksgiving week end (and travelling myself a lot within that week end...) The podcast #20 will be up sunday night or monday morning.
It is ready ... Just need some time to record!
En esperant que tout le monde est passe un bon week end,
Sebastien
