ipsi() Posted March 19, 2008 at 07:42 AM Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 at 07:42 AM That's a bit sad, but thanks. Also, it's best if most posts go on the forums, so other people can get the same information. Also, NPCR 5 textbook looks thicker in than the other books for some reason. Is it? Or is it about the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atitarev Posted March 19, 2008 at 09:56 AM Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 at 09:56 AM Wow, thank you very much. Will you please tell me more information about Chinse Book shops or communities overseas?I've published lots of Chinese learning textbooks, but some foreign students don't know the information about them. My main task is to promote these excellent books to overseas. Thank you for your help I replied to your ad, I see you found a method. I can't help much with shops, though.

atitarev Posted August 28, 2008 at 01:37 AM Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 at 01:37 AM Correction is required in volume 3, additional texts: Text title: 张学良的鼻烟壶 夏咸夷 needs to change to 夏威夷 Hanzi 咸 and 威 look similar, indeed. 夏威夷 Xiàwēiyí Hawaii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atitarev Posted February 3, 2009 at 07:17 AM Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 at 07:17 AM Bump this thread. I made a few changes to the simplified version of volume 4. They are worth updating. I only thoroughly read 4 first lessons but changes to characters are throughout the text. NPCR Book 4 - Simplified.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinbklyn Posted September 22, 2009 at 07:19 AM Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 at 07:19 AM I'm using NPCR in my classes, but maybe I'm just dense... could someone enlighten me as to how having these texts is helpful to people studying the books? If the text is already in the book, then why do we need it here? Would love to have another study tool, but apparently I'm too dense to figure out how to use it! Thanks. Also, if anyone knows where I can find pinyin translations of the NPCR texts, I'd greatly appreciate it.

ipsi() Posted September 22, 2009 at 07:34 AM Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 at 07:34 AM The general idea was that it's a bit of a pain to have to cart the books around if all you want from them is the text. This way, you can chuck it all onto a laptop, or onto a PDA to use with PlecoDict. Also has the advantage, at least for the first book, of removing the pinyin from beneath the characters so that you don't have it distracting you. Similarly, it removes the tone marks from the second book. Finally, it's good to have them all collected in one place, so you don't have to hunt through the book for whichever RC&P one you wanted. Maybe not a *major* advantage, but hey. I reckon it could be helpful. If you want them in Pinyin, you'll probably have to do the conversion yourself, I'm afraid. There are tools out there that will do it, but I'm not sure how good they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinbklyn Posted September 22, 2009 at 07:52 AM Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 at 07:52 AM Thanks, now it makes sense, duh. What a lot of work for you! And now I'm realizing that with your files I can perhaps do a pinyin conversion myself. Wish I had time to learn to read better. Slow going...

ipsi() Posted September 22, 2009 at 08:01 AM Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 at 08:01 AM Could have been worse - most of the effort involved was scanning and OCRing the texts, then asking people for help making sure the traditional characters are done. Thankfully, I was still at Uni while doing this, and had much more free time than I do now Sadly, the project is still unfinished. Maybe I'll find time to finish off book 3, though I doubt it will be soon. Books 1 and 2 should be fine though. Also, if you do end up converting them to pinyin, just make sure you post them back here for everyone else to take advantage of Personally, I found reading/writing to be distinctly easier than speaking, but that's something that's generally true for me even when dealing with English (which is my native language ).

rmpalpha Posted April 5, 2010 at 06:27 AM Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 at 06:27 AM ipsi(): I've been transcribing the textbook dialogues and reading comprehension passages for NPCR 1 and 2 this year into pinyin to help me practice writing characters. I am happy to share the files to people on this forum, but am not sure how to proceed. Please advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members Thomas H. Vo Posted November 6, 2014 at 11:12 PM New Members Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 at 11:12 PM Hi, I just discovered this thread and the links to the first three books are dead. Does anybody know if there's a mirror for these files? We're using these books at university and I was planning on creating an Anki decks with these scripts for the first two books. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamahuhu Posted June 4, 2016 at 07:08 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 at 07:08 PM Hi there, I'm encountering the same problem as the user above me. Is there any chance of downloading the books from another link? Greetings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
