Hi buonaparte,

would you happen to have any more French material? Either French -> Japanese or
French -> English? I got the petite prince and book 2 links you posted earlier and finding solid resources on the net for learning French is proving difficult.

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by 'decent'. My decent stuff might be indecent to you.

I am a big fan of audiobooks with matching parallel texts.
I like good literature, too.

All I need to decently learn a language:
1. ponunciation course/s with audio (phonemes, minimal pairs, stress, rhythm, intonation, pitch accent, tones, etc)
2. reference grammars with audio (at least two)
3. parallel e-novels with matching audiobooks by professional actors/narrators
4. mouse-over pop-up dictionaries.

I have plenty of parallel French-English e-novels with matching audio. (My L1 languages are usually Russian or Polish, they would probably be of no use for you.)
You might check this
http://uz-translations.net/forum/showthr...p?tid=2341
I'm not sure if the links are working, haven't checked.

I have other recorded texts, too.

As to French-Japanese, 'Le petit prince' is the only one I made parallel.
I've never stumbled across anything prepared by somebody else.

By 'solid material' I was referring to the stuff you generally post here. Parallel translations of books/articles with audio and the like.

dusmar84 Wrote:By 'solid material' I was referring to the stuff you generally post here. Parallel translations of books/articles with audio and the like.

Camus, Albert - L’étranger - The Stranger
Sagan, Francoise - Bonjour tristesse
René Goscinny et Jean Jacques Sempé - 'Le petit Nicolas' series

Do you have musashi audio book?

Do you have a NATURAL sounding voice for TextAloud?

The voice in this video that read the text is amazing, not alike the Kyoko voice that I have hear.

arnaldosfjunior Wrote:Do you have musashi audio book?

You mean
宮本 武蔵 Miyamoto Musashi and his book 五輪書 The Book of Five Rings?
I have no audio in Japanese. I have a Russian audiobook.
