I spend a few evenings browsing thru ETS web site and this forum.
I tried to learn from your experiences and I decided to put together my own urban-french ( <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)-EDC-PSK ...... just to be prepared ! (and it has already been put to use).

I would like to get your comments on its content.

Here we go .....
