buonaparte's audio and text links - jettyke - 2011-01-09
How do you intend to make this a piece of cake?
Seems like you have an exceptional method.
Will just having text side by side be enough for it to be easy for you?
buonaparte's audio and text links - buonaparte - 2011-01-09
jettyke,
it might be a piece of cake with some nuts.
I might be a nut, but I am not crazy.
By the way, I need a recording and an e-text of The Little Prince (Le petit prince) by Saint-Exupery and L'Etranger (The Stranger) by Camus in Estonian. Can you help?
The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway would be nice, too.

For Hungarian texts, try:
Hungarian Electronic Library - http://mek.oszk.hu
or
http://irodalmiakademia.hu
I've just seen that the first link has been mentioned earlier. Sorry!

Extract it to C:\kakasi then use MS-DOS Command prompt to convert your texts. Use these commands:
1. For Kanji to Kana:
c:\kakasi\bin>kakasi -s -Ja -Ha -Ka < yourfile.txt > kana.txt
or
c:\kakasi\bin>kakasi -s -Ja < yourfile.txt > kana.txt
2. For Kanji to Romaji:
c:\kakasi\bin>kakasi -s -U -Ja -Ha -Ka < yourfile.txt > romaji.txt
Note: Kakasi does not support Unicode, UTF-8, etc. You should convert your texts to SHIFT-JIS using programs like EditPad or any advanced text editor.
Kakasi only supports with old JIS, new JIS, EUC, DEC, SHIFTJIS.
This is a good encoding converter:

There is a better converter, but I forgot its name.
If this is what you want, then don't forget to give me a gift

Our population is just about 1,3 million people...
With a quick search I found this page. It seems that if you make an account you can probably read some books for free there http://e-raamatukogu.com/
By the way, can you tell me what are you trying to accomplish... I just can't get it
. Are you trying to make some kind of a ebook+audio library for learning languages?You just can´t be serious with learning all those languages you've wanted files in...can you?
buonaparte's audio and text links - buonaparte - 2011-01-10
ahibba,
thanks, we will most certainly have a look at it. We don't like messing with encoding. You never know what you will get.
jettyke,
thanks a lot for trying hard. I have already found some audiobooks in Estonian and a
matching e-text. Orwell salutes you!
As what I am trying to accomplish - it is something I call mLr: mutlitlingual LISTENING-reading. I need audiobooks with matching e-texts in as many languages as possible, preferably the same books.
Le petit prince, Andersen, Milne, Alice in Wonderland, Lindgren, Camus, Hemingway, Orwell, Bulgakov - The Master and Margarita, Kafka, Anna Karenina, Crime and Punishment, Murakami, Suna no onna, etc.
Wish me luck. And help me if you can - all I need is audiobooks and e-texts. Any language will do - preferably Japanese, Mandarin, Korean, Finnish, Russian, English, Hungarian, Turkish.

I don't know if they exist, but somebody might have them. I have some e-texts by Murakami. Someone might have scanned a book or two and then OCR-ed them.
If they don't exist NOW, they could come into being in the near future.
Hope dies last, keep trying. Knock and somebody will answer.
You can find Japanese e-texts via share - a Japanese p2p, or through Usenet or through friends....
you can find some here http://www.nyaatorrents.org/ or here http://rutracker.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=525.

PATRICKRL,
thanks a lot!
I have everything that rutracker offers.
You might happen to have or know where to find Agota Kristof - Le grand cahier - it is one of my favourite books. I have the French audio.
And I would be grateful for any e-texts of Maigret by Simenon. I have plenty of printed books but hardly anytime to scan and then proofread them.

I think this is the right thing.

These guys scan in an amazing amount of stuff
As to the Jehova's Witnesses stuff, somebody messaged me who has a brother-in-law who has access, hopefully he succeeds.

thanks again,
downloading.
As to Watchtower Libary - I managed to dowload 2010 in Spanish, no Japanese so far.

And what is even more important, the audiobooks match the e-etexts. AND the readers are VERY good.
My cousin will finally be able to learn Hungarian. She is simply hungry for Hungary!

I read L1 (base language) and simultaneously listen to L2 (target language).
If I have trouble I quickly look at L2 while listening, if that does not help, I use a mouse over pop-up. I don't memorize anything, my goal is understanding. I go from the beginning to the end of a novel and then do it again.
When I understand everything or at least the vast majority I concentrate on speaking:
I first repeat after the recording here and there, first small chunks, even individual words, and then the chunks get longer and longer. After a while I can repeat almost everything without stopping the recording.
Then I concentrate on reading. I listen and look at the text in L2 - if I have trouble figuring the kanji (components, stroke order) I stop the recording and check. I do not memorize anything. My aim is understanding. I go from the beginning to the end of the novel/story, several times, if necessary.
Then I concentrate on reading: I look at the L1 text and read silently to a fragment and then listen to check if I have read properly. I don't memorize anything.
Then I concentrate on writing. I listen, repeat after the recording, look at L1 and write - but not everything, only something I wouldn't be able to write myself. I do not memorize anything.
Then I write myself: I listen and write down what I hear, but not everything - I skip the easy chunks.
I check what I have written against the L1 text.
I do not memorize anything. My aim is to maximize exposure.
And that's about it.
Then I use the new language. I listen, I read, I write, I speak. And now it is relatively easy. It takes some thinking, though.
Be happy,
do it your own way.

For me it just so happens that I only read in L1 and forget the audio...and there is no use for the audio...
And what kind of a pop-up dict you're using?
I can't get rikaichan work on htm and txt files, when I open them in my browser.

jettyke Wrote:And what kind of a pop-up dict you're using?Rikaichan is a shitty pop-up. I use a multilingual Russian dictionary Lingvo 12. You can convert any dictionary to Lingvo format. In fact I use a combination of these three:
I can't get rikaichan work on htm and txt files, when I open them in my browser.
1. Lingvo 2. WaKan 3. Japanese(English)-Japanese dictionaries in Epwing format.
What is good about Epwing is that you don't have to install anything and you can use all the dictionaries from one interface which is clipboard sensitive.
