Although, for the section I've picked, what happens with page 155? The top two sentences of p.156 are carried on from the section on p.155. Should I include them (with the rest of that section), or have I missed something as to why it's not on the list?

Nukemarine- I have not yet been accepted to the google group (I applied from my gmail- username is captal) - I need to see the spreadsheet to see how you're doing formatting (or post a few up here for perusal).

edit: by the way- has anyone been using a text to speech converter on these? I've been looking for one, but I'm running a Mac now so I'm not sure what to use...

Ah, my mistake. It looked like a table list of sentences. Yes, do the first sentence of each segment that relates to the english translation on page 155.

Ok, lot's more people working on it. Biting into chapter 6 so not too much left. Right now, Floatingweed had not replied if he's able to continue this. So his spot is open up, so we can finish up Chapter 3.

I still haven't been accepted to the AJATT group either, is there someone I should contact or something? I have to run right now but when I get back I'll just email my sheet to Nukemarine and then I can start on another one.

Hey Nukemarine,

can you check your google mail account. I sent my section to you yesterday, but you don't appear to be getting my mails.

So I've been adding sentences from the first few pages over the last couple of days.

I have a question about a sentence- page 14 4.2:

きのうは学校を休みました。 (I was absent from school yesterday)

Is the は supposed to be there? I thought it wasn't because really the topic of the sentence is I (私は昨日学校を休みました I would think would be right) and that は wasn't used with things like "today, tomorrow, yesterday, last night, etc." but I've seen the book use は in these cases on more than one occasion.

Yes, because the topic of the sentence is yesterday. As for what happened yesterday, you were absent from school. I think sentences can have multiple topics (I come across this quite often now that I have started reading, but no grammar book ever told me this!) so I suppose 私 is also an "understood" topic. Of course, I could be totally wrong here.

The は particle can often be used to introduce a new subject and change the conversation.

So let's say you're talking to your friends about stuff that happened today....
...and all of a sudden, you want to change the subject to talking about yesterday.

Then you could say "きのうは学校を休みました", and the conversation would change to talking about your absence from school yesterday.

So anytime you want to change the conversation in Japanese, use the は particle and start talking about that subject.

Just adding to what other people posted it also shows contrast. So depending on the context the speaker might be trying to say that yesterday was an exception to the their normal schedule. YESTERDAY I was absent from school (but normally I am not).

Thanks for the help guys- I also looked in A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar which was quite helpful- I didn't realize all the nuances with wa.

The link from QuackingShoe was nice too.

Bam!

Pages 146 through 154 done. I added it to the bottom of the spreadsheet that I've already made so I don't have to fiddle around with too many permissions and other cack like that.

I'll do this one next, guvnor.

I emailed the google groups owner yesterday so hopefully I'll have access to that sheet soon. I assume the (finished) means Nukemarine got my spreadsheet, so I'll do this section if that's okay (I'm learning ~ば conditional right now anyway so it works well)

I think these page numbers are wrong. 190-193 starts halfway through the section on ~たら and overlaps one page into Part III.

176-180 - Nuke Marine
181-185 - Phauna
186-188 - none
189-192 - Shakkun
193-197 - none

Makes more sense. Not that it makes much difference in the end, but I want to enter the ~たら examples on page 189 anyway so I might as well do them now.

Should not be a problem with how you did it. I divided it up to balance out sentence load, not necessarily good starting and stopping spots.

Anyway, thanks for the help so far. I'm editing/quality reviewing Chapter 3 sentences then I'll move onto doing mine for Chapter 6. After that is a quick quality review of Chapter 4.

Ultimately, anyone that has proof of purchase of the book will get access

Spreadsheet of Kanji, Kana and US English translation of key sentences from the book.
Text to Speech audio of both Japanese and English.

This will be a great baseline that one can jump off into Kanji.Odyssey or some other manner of sentences or learning.

Not that everything is settled down I'm making a start on my part. I'm doing to do page 155, but how should I go about it? The layout goes like this:

- I was told to clean my room by my mother.
母に　｛部屋の掃除をする／食事の前に手を洗う／・・・｝　ように言われました。

There's one English translation, but the middle part includes several other variations that aren't translated. Can I add those other sentences without translation?

Just do the one that has an English translation provided.

Ah, I finished the one I was doing, added it here:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=p...zdcw&hl=en

Blah, blah, will do this one next,
