家有儿女 Vocab and Anki Decks

Since lots of people have been interested in the Transcription Project over the years, but transcripts and subs aren't all that useful by themselves, here's my first little effort to do a little more with them, and make starting to watch TV shows more accessible for people.

 

I'll do more episodes over time, and maybe some other TV shows and possibly sentence decks with audio if people are interested.

 

家有儿女 S01 E01-10

 

Anki Deck:

Available on Google Drive here

 

If you want to see what the Anki cards look like you can see the cards in this post. Feel free to change them yourself though.

  

Stats:

For now check newer posts on this forum because I will post stats as I add new episodes, rather than updating them here.

  

Current Progress on episodes that have existing transcripts:

Note on stats and HSK tagging:

• HSK equivalent vocab
  • 那 and 个 are both HSK 1, so when 那个 occurs as a word of it’s own, it’s counted as HSK 1 to reduce unnecessarily easy non-HSK words when studying decks that exclude HSK 1, and also give a better idea of difficulty.

Thanks @markhavemann. I really like the deck and started using it. I have a question though. Maybe it's just an issue on my side, but I can't make the audio work - I get an error message saying "Card content error. Failed to load 'tiap pi.mp3'". 

The size of the deck is around 180 kb which also make me wonder if this is enough to contain any audio? 

 

Thanks again for the great work ? ?

Thanks for pointing this out! It looks like Anki isn't exporting the media along with the deck file and I am not quite sure why. I'll try to figure it out and updated the deck file. 

 

I've uploaded a file with all the audio into the same folder as the deck, called collection.media.zip. You can unzip this into your Anki media folder and the audio should work.

Thanks for letting me know. I have meant to come back to this and add more episodes but started putting time into other projects. Now that I know it's being used, I'll do a few more soon!

Update 2023/09/06:

• I've figured out why the audio isn't being included in the decks and fixed it. The file size should reflect this too:
  • 
• Processed episode 2 and included it in an updated deck file, with each episode in a sub deck:
  • 
• Names are now separated out as a special vocabulary item, and also included in the decks

Updated stats: (The graph labels are a bit messed up but hopefully I'll get to fixing that soon) 

 

Seeing how HSK 1-4 vocabulary makes up the vast majority of words used really proves what a great first show this is I think. Hopefully I'll do some more shows soon to see some comparisons.

Thanks a lot Mark - I can confirm the audio synchronize smoothly now - what an improvement! I'll keep working my way through the first episodes - :)

Going to leave a comment here to follow this topic. I've been interested in this series for a long time, but the availability of this kind of content to help learners enjoy it rather than getting lost is a great idea! Fully support.

[markhavemann]

I've added a new deck which has vocab from episodes 1-6.

 

Also, I've made an external website as a backup to host this content too (although I will still post updates in this thread). You can visit it here: https://sinodex.online/projects/show2anki/jia-you-er-nu

This is an amazing project (the whole sinodex thing) and I just wanted to say thank for your hard work and for sharing these resources.

Thanks for the encouragement! It's nice to know that this stuff is actually useful for others, I've been working on some other things but I'll try to finish up to episode 10 soon.

[markhavemann]

As promised, I've finished up to episode 10 and uploaded a new deck. I had mostly finished it and was just procrastinating exporting and uploading, so here it is. If anybody finds any errors just let me know.

 

Hopefully I'll add HSK tags soon to make it easy to mass delete cards that are too easy for you.

I go through phases of watching 家有儿女, I'm up to 73 episodes. I never "study" it, just watch it and what I don't know, I don't know. I think it would be good to pause and read the subtiltes every tenth episode or so, but I have never gotten around to it. I find it interesting that although most of the vocabulary is hsk 1-4, it's not THAT easy, it's fast and slurred and very Beijing. Imo they speak pretty much like a real family in North China. It's helped me to better keep up with my wife and my mother in law's fast speech. I like how they have a meal in every episode.

That's very much been my experience, too. I regularly listen to Chinese news and podcasts without too much of a problem (my comprehension is a bit spotty, but I can mostly follow along). But when I watch this show, I'm completely lost.
