Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Along the same line, I'm a beginning Chinese student, but I've reached the point where word lists and sample sentences are getting a little tedious and I'd like to start attempting more complex " real " material like the one Bob summarized. My question is, how do you get your hands on that kind of material in the USA? Preferably on the internet or *.doc form so I can use computer translation resources to help me out. I have all the texts Par sent, but it seems like 2-3 page journal articles would be much more bite-sized than starting a whole book from the beginning.

The downloadable articles are pdf files which you sometimes but not always can copy to a .doc or a wenlin file. Regards, Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Tom, How much do you pay for your annual wangfangdata subscription? When I checked it out, it seemed extremely pricey. Maybe I misunderstood their pricing. Also, do you get access to all articles in all journals? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been asked not to disclose my price, but I can assure you it is very reasonable. You name your price (a reasonable price) and they will most probably accept it. It's a bargain, if you ask me. And yes, I do get access to all articles that are digitalized, starting from 1998 or so. One major advantage is that you can digitally search for articles, including for content. You can search both in English and in Chinese. One can also browse magazines as one would flip through a paper magazine. The website is based in China, but since a year or so they have a mirror site in the USA which is much faster for waiguoren. The Chinese website is updated more regularly though. For a while after the Taiwan earthquake the Chinese website was not accessible, as were many other Chinese websites during that time. Their service has been great, so I have decided to stick with them for now. best, Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Is it possible we can change the name of this thread now? It makes referencing the original thread that much more difficult.
