Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi Group, I prepared medical Chinese flashcards from the Paradigm *Language Learning and Reference* series written by by Nigel Wiseman & Zhang YuHuan. You can download the flashcards files and import them into the *Chinese Homework trainer,* which is a freeware program as explained in the link below: http://tuinaa.googlepages.com/ I would like to thank Robert Felt from Paradigm and the authors for permitting me to publish these lists.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 This is really great guy. For those on Macs the files will also work with iflash, a very cheap flashcard system. I downloaded your files and they worked fine. I assume this is OK, Guy. (Iflash users will have to adjust the input to <break> <tab> <break>.) doug , " Guy Sedan " <guysedan wrote: > > Hi Group, > > I prepared medical Chinese flashcards from the Paradigm *Language Learning > and Reference* series written by by Nigel Wiseman & Zhang YuHuan. > You can download the flashcards files and import them into the *Chinese > Homework trainer,* which is a freeware program as explained in the link > below: > > http://tuinaa.googlepages.com/ > > I would like to thank Robert Felt from Paradigm and the authors for > permitting me to publish these lists. > Guy Sedan > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 This is really great, thank you! But can I get it to work with Wenlin? The program you mention is for windows only. . . .

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Ah, this helps, thank you. Where can I get iflash? On Dec 22, 2008, at 11:40 PM, wrote: > This is really great guy.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 One can also download others files for free. I put up some formula things a long time ago. http://www.loopware.com/iflash/ > > Ah, this helps, thank you.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi Doug, It's Ok. Can you provide me with a basic instructions how to load it into iFlash, so I can added to the web page for Mac users? The bonus of using the Chinese Homework Trainer is that is can also hear how the characters are pronounced in Chinese and you can actually see how the Chinese characters are drawn in the correct stroke order.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 After you have downloaded the text file, open iflash and import the text file. Use the custom format and set the 3 fields to <break>, <tab> and <break> You will have to press the " re-parse text file " button. If you are successful it should show 101 cards with each card having three sides (for the basic.txt file). If it shows 1 card with 101 sides then go back and check the above 3 fields again, especially the middle <tab>. Doing all of this, you should be set to go. I would suggest in card preferences set each side to 72 pts. size text. Make sure that each card (and especially the last) is " aligned " to be centered. The file as is seem to put it in the upper left. Using Iflash is easy. Once you have the files set up you can quickly go through them by pressing the four arrows. Down and up to view the " sides " and forward for a new card. It may have a sound component that I don't know about. You have done all the hard work of setting up the text files. thanks again, Doug , " Guy Sedan " <guysedan wrote: > > Hi Doug, > It's Ok. > Can you provide me with a basic instructions how to load it into iFlash, so > I can added to the web page for Mac users? > > The bonus of using the Chinese Homework Trainer is that is can also hear > how the characters are pronounced in Chinese and you can actually see how > the Chinese characters are drawn in the correct stroke order. > > Enjoy! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks for the effort to provide us with the tool. But, when I click your flashcard link, it opens as a web page, not a file that I can use. BY the way, I use http://www.lexdex.com/ It has vocabulary flashcards from many chinese language learner's textbooks. If you could find a way to give them your cards so the Nigel/ Wiseman book could be part of their library I would appreciate it. Also, if enough people requested them to include flashcards from some of the classic texts (e.g., 伤寒论) perhaps they might be able to add chinese medical textbooks to their library. I am not clear as to how they create their flashcards but it would be a great resource if they could do it. In addition, http://www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/flashcards.php is a great flashcard resource for those learning chinese.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi David, Instead of clicking the link, right-click and then choose " Save Link As... " in Firefox or " Save Target as... " in Internet Explorer.. you will be able to save the file on your computer. Thanks for the additional resources. As for LexDex site you mention, given my time constraints I don't think I will invest any more on promoting these flashcards... You are invited to continue this project.If you do, this should be done in coordination with Robert Felt from Paradigm publication because he has the rights for this specific list.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Thanks! I am finding iflash to be useful for any text found online. For example, it is possible to open any of the texts at: ä¸åŒ»ä¸–家 <http://www.zysj.com.cn/lilunshuji/5index.html> http://www.zysj.com.cn/lilunshuji/5index.html then, parse the text using katica.org <http://www.katica.org/cer28/projects/zhtoolkit/wordlist/create-list.cgi\ > http://www.katica.org/cer28/projects/zhtoolkit/wordlist/create-list.cgi (use 3 fields, i.e., character, pinyin and English meaning) then, copy and paste the results into Wenlin and save as a .txt file which can then be uploaded into iflash. You can then first study and learn the vocabulary in the text (chapter by chapter or page by page or.........) and then read the text. In this way, it is possible to learn Chinese that is more specifically TCM in nature. David Klatt > > > After you have downloaded the text file, open iflash and import the > > text file.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 This site is great... it seems you have to prepare the .txt file, no? Any tips?

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Doug, 1. copy and paste a text into katica 2. in katica, select the first 3 output columns (fields 1, 2 and 3) 3. submit query 4. copy and paste results into an office/word text editor (I use iText Express) 5. delete any unwanted text (superfluous and/or non-vocabulary parts) 6. copy and paste into Wenlin 7. in Wenlin, save the file as a .txt 8. import the file into iflash    use your suggested method, i.e.,    <break>    <tab>    <break> 9. in " deck preferences " " card sides " there will be 3 card sides. Move " card side 3 " to the   top of " side order in show " (don't know why but I had to do this to activate 3 sides in play mode) 10. play I hope that is clear enough.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Great. The break-tab-break is what I needed. Also pasting first into a text application before Wenlin.
