Poor sound quality

Poor sound quality

The narrator of this exercise Le jour des rois was very muffled, like in an echo chamber. 

For those of us trying to translate it is difficult enough to understand the words, but the poor sound quality compounded the difficulty.

Hopefully this can be addressed for future dictees.

Thank you, Norma Zippin

Hi Norma and David,

The sound and pace is good in my opinion for that level.

It is -

Comme le veut la tradition As tradition demands it 

Thank you for your comments which are appreciated.

I thought the sound was ok.  Maybe it had been corrected.  But otherwise, the phrase "comme le veut la tradition"  I could not hear  or at least  I think that they actually say something slightly different (not comme).  Curious to know if I am correct or actually just need to improve my hearing!
