    Hello Claudia and thanks for your post.
    I have to say I'm sorry as I think there aren't any scripts for these lectures that I know of, and they only play in English.

    I would also think that if you would like to study some astronomy, seriously. Then to really understand what's going on and to understand the concepts you should find a similar course in a language you are comfortable with :) There must be some available through Google or on Youtube maybe :)
    Good luck and sorry

    Thanks!
    I do not dominate the English have always had difficulty. In college I did French and Spanish. But I'm trying, last year I did an online course that helps me at the read or write.
    I have no facility with phonetics, lack of daily use. But English is one of the easiest to learn its grammar is simple, unlike the Portuguese and other languages that comes from the Latin.
    Thank you, you will oblige me to speak fluent English.
    Hugs,
