Does anyone have good links or tips for language? The rule for speakers in general, even when presenting to native speakers, is to keep it simple. How much further should I take "keep it simple" for the EuroPython audience?
The US PyCon has many English as a second language (ESL) speakers but they are all very fluent. It is a self-selecting group that goes to the US, after all. How much of that can I assume for EuroPython? Maybe a concrete example would help. In my PyCon talk a couple years ago the biggest laugh-line was a slide titled "Oh The Huge Manatee." I'm guessing that is out of bounds. -Jack PS, I've listened to 20 hours of "Teach yourself Lithuanian" CDs. Not too bad (because it is latinate), and much easier than my last attempt (Icelandic). _______________________________________________ EuroPython mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
