I wanted to apply the listening-reading method to Chinese but I can't find any audio books in this language, let alone an audio book with an English translation!
In the audio books thread there was a link to an audio book but the text was not the same thing as the book. Other than that I can't find anything by searching on google and I can't read well enough to search on chinese websites :( Is there anything I can do? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

At radio.cn there seems to be the audio for the first 3 Harry Potter books. Have you tried them?
http://211.89.225.81/radioview/ps/indexlist.jsp?type=1&kindi d=7 I don't know if they follow the (simplified) Chinese text exactly, but I cant imagine they would go to the trouble of retranslating the books all over again.

I heard very bad things about translations of books like Harry Potter. To apply the listening-reading method you need a literal translation but in the thread many people said the translation of Harry Potter books were horrible and completely different from the original, with many sentences ignored or added. I will give it a try but I wonder if it is possible to find traditional chinese books, that way the translation is (hopefully) going to be more literal.
Thanks anyway for the link. PS: Thanks a lot for your links in your japanese thread, they helped a lot! Edited by Asiafeverr on 16 September 2007 at 8:06am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You're welcome! I also dug up this comprehensive list of translation errors found in the mainland Chinese translation of HP. It should prove quite helpful to you! http://www.cjvlang.com/Hpotter/mehelpindex.html 1 person has voted this message useful |
