Disclaimer: In order to get the English text, the audio was run through Speech-to-Text AI software (hence there may be errors). I checked the English, but the truth is I’m an inept editor (hence there may be errors). It was then translated by Google Translate (hence there may be errors). Hopefully, while not perfect, it will be good enough to be helpful. Text-to-Speech AI will be the next step in a few months. Thanks for putting up with my limitations, but I hope that this will open up Dr. Phillips excellent teaching to other languages and cultural contexts.A
