Languages (31)

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.

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!

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!

English irregular verbs (180), nuns (117) and adjectives (7) for Polish users.

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.

Each question consists of a French word and a 4x4 table of vowels in the IPA notation. The answer contains the same table but with the corresponding vowel highlighted.

This deck is intended to be used with the book "Remembering the kanji 1" by James Heisig and the site "http://kanji.koohii.com".

This deck, together with the hiragana and katakana, form the basic decks of the japanese writing system. Wich you should memorize before starting your japanese studies.

Spanish Vocabulary contains 2,899 cards comprising a basic set of Spanish words, mostly from my textbook, Practical Spanish Grammar, Second Edition, by Marcial Prado. Other words are from the Harper Collins Spanish Concise Dictionary, Second Edition. The total number of words in the vocabulary is about 1,400.

Most cards (nearly all) have English on one side and Spanish on the other.

The words are arranged into categories for focused study. Certain categories (Adverbs and Adjectives, Nouns, Verbs, and Other Words and Expressions) are each further divided into three units, with the more basic words in unit 1 and the more advanced words in unit 3.

"Spanish" is first in each category name because I assume that you have other categories already in use and will want it to be obvious which categories are related to the study of Spanish.

For example, Spanish:Nouns:1

--Installation Instructions--
-----------------------------

1. Make sure you have Mnemosyne installed: http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/index.php

2. Unzip the contents of this archive to your ".mnemosyne" directory. On my Windows XP installation, that directory is in this location... C:\Documents and Settings\(my username)\.mnemosyne\

3. Make sure that you uncompressed the archive correctly by ensuring that the image files (a1.png, b2.png, etc) are now located in your ".mnemosyne\braille\" directory.

(NB: some unzipping utilities may unzip the image files to a directory path such as ".mnemosyne\braille\braille\a1.png", i.e. adding an extra "braille" folder. If this happens, simply cut and paste the contents of the innermost "braille" directory into the outer "braille" directory.)

4. Load up Mnemosyne and go to File > Import. Toggle the "File format" dropdown box to "XML". Then hit "Browse" and navigate to your ".mnemosyne\braille\" directory and choose "braille.xml" as the file to import.

5. Click "OK"

I have tested this with Mnemosyne version 1.0.1.1 and it worked just fine; however, if you encounter any problems, don't hesitate to e-mail me at the e-mail address included in the readme file.

--Important Notes--
-------------------

I am not literate in Braille. This card set only comprises information compiled from Wikipedia, so please forgive any errors, omissions, or other shortcomings. I make no guarantees, implicit or explicit, that this information is correct, and accept no responsibility for any negative outcomes which may result from the use of this set of cards.

ERRATA: In the readme file, I gave "a.png" and "b.png" as sample file names. These files are actually named "a1.png" and "b2.png". Sorry for any confusion. :)
