sample sentences from dict.cn

Description: 

These flashcards contain Chinese/English sentence and pinyin.

It's been said that it's best to study a language using sentence flashcards,
instead of individual words, but it can be difficult to find good sets of
entire sentences with tranlsations and pronunciations... so I built this set.

The pinyin may have some errors. It was generated programatically by searching
the CEDICT dictioanry.

These sample sentences are broken up into two files:
zh-en_sentences.xml:
I find this one more useful. The questions in this file are Chinese
sentences. The answers are pinyin pronunciations and English
translations.

en-zh_sentences.xml:
This is more for practicing writing. The questions contain English and
pinyin, and the answer is the Chinese expression.

Each file is broken up into a number of categories labeled as described here:

HSK level:
All of the sentences came from sample sentences intended to describe a
particular word. HSK level (in the category name) signifies the HSK
level of the word this sentence describes. Note that "HSK level" is
1-4, ... I have no idea how that corelates to actual HSK scores, but
since HSK scores range from 1-11, I know they are not equivalent.

Source of words and HSK "level":
http://www.chinese-forums.com/vocabulary/

Limited to:

Sentences are then broken up further into 5 categories based on the HSK
level of the words those sentences contain.

This is a search of all characters in each level, including the
characters that loner words are composed of. This is why even HSK
level 4 sentences can contain sentences in "limited 1."

For example, 作主 (zuo4zhu3) is an HSK level 4 word. It contains 2
characters which both appear in other HSK level 1 words, and so the
sample sentence for 作主 (assuming that sentence contains no other
difficult words) might appear in the category "HSK 4; limited 1;"

Since some characters are not found in any of the HSK level sets, there
are categories containing "limited 5."

Part number:
Within each HSK level there are many sentences. I've divided them up
into parts so that the maximum size would be somewhere around 500
sentences.

Before doing so, I sorted by length of the sentence. This means that
sentences in categories labeled "part 1" will be shorter (and
presumably gramatically simpler) then sentences in categories labeled
"part 4."

The sentences in this collection are the example sentences on dict.cn. I
couldn't find specific licensing information associated with the example
sentences, so, if there's a problem, someone let me know and I'll gladly take
it down. I'm under the impression that dict.cn was built with a free
share-and-share-alike corpus... it being web-based and all anyways.

The sentences are freely available on the internet anyways, so, if I do have to
take this down, I'll gladly share the code I used to generate the lists.

Newbie lessons 1-15 from http://www.GermanPod101.com

Description: 

Right now, this flashcard set contains the vocabulary for lessons 1-15 of the Newbie Series found at http://www.GermanPod101.com . These podcasts are free and available to all countries, so I hope that others will find this flashcard set useful.

I put the vocabulary all in one category so that later I can make a different category and expand it with the vocabulary from later lessons or other series.

I hope this collection will be useful to you!

Basic Esperanto (based on Lernu courses)

These are the words taught in several free online multimedia Esperanto courses for beginners at http://www.lernu.net .
Courses from which the vocabulary was taken:

  • Ana Pana
  • Ana Renkontas (continuation of Ana Pana)
  • Mi estas komencanto
  • Jen nia IJK
Description: 

This flashcard set contains almost 750 distinct flashcards Esperanto to English, taken from the free beginner courses at http://www.lernu.net (a great resource!). They are divided into categories by course:
- Ana Pana and its continuation Ana Renkontas
- Mi estas komencanto
- Jen nia IJK

If you activate one category, the vocabulary will appear in the order that it was presented in the course, lesson by lesson, so that you can use it to accompany on your studies. Or you can de-activate categories and randomize the words in order to learn almost 750 of the most useful Esperanto words at once and catapult yourself out of the "beginner" level.

The file esperanto.xml contains the full vocabulary for each of the courses, which means that there are approximately 200 duplicates, as several courses introduce important words like "kaj" (and). For esperanto_nodup.xml I took out those duplicates, which means that the vocabulary lists for an individual course is no longer complete. So if you want to study a particular course's vocabulary, you should use esperanto.xml and if you just want to learn lots of basic Esperanto vocabulary, use esperanto_nodup.xml.

Both files use the native Esperanto chapelliteroj (consonants with ^ on top) rather than a transliteration, so use a Unicode font to display the words correctly.

I hope this collection will be useful to you!

I made this to test the unicode support that Mnemosyne has built in. No plugins were required :)

Vietnamese is a tonal language so reading it will probably not be enough to learn, but if you've already heard the language, reading it can jog your memory ( which is what this project is all about, right?)

If anyone else speaks Vietnamese please upload a more comprehensive deck.
