Mr. Earl's and Ms. Epstein's classes -- the best way to approach learning Huron Carol is to learn the pronunciations in the Wendat (Huron) and French verses slowly first. This pronunciation track should help. Listen as many times as you need to to develop a comfort level with the the first two verses (the phonetic spellings are in parentheses).
