I need a characters-to-page conversion rate =D
I'm going to read Chinese mostly online, using Pera Pera, and I need to know how many pages I will have read each time. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I can't help you there. Does anyone know a reasonable conversion system?

I'm wondering whether reading through the forum can be counted as reading for my English
SC.. However, I probably won't count it anyway, because then I would not be that motivated to read a BOOK :D But maybe someone also wondered about that, so I'm just curious.. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think someone already asked this in the previous thread, but I can't remember the
answer. Do monolingual textbooks count? All my Russian exam prep and grammar books are in Russian. I've also got 2 Finnish textbooks with everything in Finnish. Can those count for reading? It's not quite as exciting as a novel, but it's also quite useful. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Monolingual textbooks count. I remember Cristina saying that many of them are harder than easy novels.
I also see no reason not to count the texts from a coursebook the way you'd count articles etc. That could amount to, like, 40-50 pages out of 200-300. (BTW in case you're interested in Russian-based textbooks for Finnish, I recommend Opi puhumaan suomea by Муллонен and simply "Учебник финского языка" by Чернявская. They take it for granted that you know what cases and conjugations are) Edited by Serpent on 01 May 2014 at 9:59pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I remember being allowed to count text from coursebooks, and I used NFWE last time. It can be a very helpful way to get yourself up to speed, like a graded reader. But I would still recommend going to some non-didactic native material soon as well.
