wai ming Posted March 27, 2006 at 01:11 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 at 01:11 PM I posted this thread at Adam Sheik's Learn Cantonese site. Basically it involves collaborating to produce romanised and character transcripts of an episode of Australia's SBS Radio Cantonese Program. The idea being for learners of Cantonese to get practise listening to the sounds of Cantonese, and learn more vocabulary and grammatical structures, by listening to children's stories If you feel like your Cantonese isn't good enough to contribute yet, please don't despair; but at least let me know you're interested so I know someone other than myself can benefit from the transcripts. (In other words, so the project doesn't end up on my "never got around to doing" list.) It would be great if we could get some more interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shusaku Posted March 27, 2006 at 06:58 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 at 06:58 PM I think this is a really good idea. My Cantonese is not at an advanced level yet but I still may be able to help out, plus it would be great practice. Let's decide on a specific episode and divide up the work.

carlo Posted March 28, 2006 at 03:55 PM Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 at 03:55 PM It seems like a nice idea. I would certainly be interested, even though my Cantonese is probably not good enough to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai ming Posted April 5, 2006 at 02:23 AM Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 at 02:23 AM Carlo, thanks for the support. Onebir, I did know about that project, but I didn't realise so much had been uploaded already. Thanks. For anyone who's interested, we've started transcribing this episode, and you can track our progress here. And please feel free to contribute (whether it be transcribing, correcting our mistakes, asking questions, answering questions...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the PDFs on this website work for anyone? They never do for me -- I just get dozens of blank pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
