Why your reasons NOT to learn a language are just EXCUSES - Steve Kaufmann

I was with some Canadians recently who all agreed that French would help them professionally. Within a few minutes I had heard three reasons why they hadn’t learned it: I can read but I can’t speak, the Montreal accent is too hard, and they changed our class this year. Every one of those puts the problem somewhere outside the person saying it. I lived in Hong Kong where nobody spoke Mandarin and I learned Mandarin anyway, because I did the listening and reading. What’s the reason you give yourself?

No time like the present to start on French. How do I import this with the French audio?

That’s a good point.

A change was just made to allow for LingQ users to change the version of subtitles / “captions” they wish to use, now there should be an update to allow the ability to change the “Audio Track”!

Aha I didn’t even know the auto-dubbing was a thing!

Since the youtube player is embedded you can select it from the control panel

@Giraffe28 I imported the lesson for you to test :slight_smile:
