wai ming Posted May 14, 2006 at 09:00 AM Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 at 09:00 AM Cantonese e-books There seems to be a lot of useful material here, including expressions, short stories, sentence patterns and grammar, as well as some sound files; however I seem to be having trouble downloading from it (not sure if it's a problem with the files, or a problem with my Acrobat Reader). I have all the pdf's (but not the sound files) for the General Expressions Books, Specific Expressions books, Sentence Patterns and Grammar, so if people are unable to download from the website I can upload those somewhere, but would someone mind trying to get the Difficult Abbreviated Grammar words, the Short Stories and the Long Stories? EDIT: seems like it was just a problem with my browser; using a download manager seems to work That said, if anyone is having trouble downloading the files, I'm happy to upload them.

skylee Posted May 14, 2006 at 09:54 AM Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 at 09:54 AM Here is the Difficult Abbreviated Grammar Words. Can't see where the short/long stories are, though. (Since it is free of charge I guess it is all right posting the file here.) Abbreviation_Diff.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai ming Posted May 14, 2006 at 10:03 AM Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 at 10:03 AM Thanks for that, skylee. The short stories and long story are just underneath the specific expressions books section.

rose~ Posted May 16, 2006 at 04:34 AM Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 at 04:34 AM I can't seem to open them directly, either. But it does look like useful information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernjohn Posted June 14, 2006 at 04:10 AM Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 at 04:10 AM Hi- I have tried downloading from this site, but still no luck. I usually use the Firefox web browser and I thought that might be the problem, so I tried with Internet Explorer... that didn't seem to work either. Anybody know anything about this site? It seems like the material would be useful. I haven't come across anything else like it. Does anyone know of any material out there like this....beginner and intermediate-level recorded stories in Cantonese with accompanying text?

wai ming Posted June 15, 2006 at 05:52 PM Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 at 05:52 PM To those who've asked me to upload the files, I'll try to do that next week. Far too busy with exams at the moment so remind me if I forget. Southernjohn, I think what happens is the connection to the website tends to time out. If you use some kind of download manager and configure it to automatically reconnect, you should be able to get the files. I personally haven't seen any other material on the Internet that matches the quality of the e-books here: written for learners, with characters and romanization, and audio. The site's run by the Cantonese Learning Centre in HK, can't remember what their homepage is at the moment but you should be able to Google it.

MiniLucky Posted June 21, 2006 at 10:16 PM Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 at 10:16 PM thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernjohn Posted June 22, 2006 at 02:37 AM Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 at 02:37 AM Yes... thanks Waiming. I am still trying to download the stories, but no luck so far. My Firefox download manager should continue a download without timing out; I'm not sure what the problem could be. I will try and contact the Cantonese Learning Center.

Lboo Posted September 1, 2006 at 10:30 PM Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 at 10:30 PM I'm most interested in the stories with audio but haven't been able to download them with either a PC or Mac. If anyone has had luck getting them and can post them here, that would be very much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
