Hey aloysius. THANKS!
This program is brilliant. They have added the ability to put the instructions in English. Moreover, the whole "Tutor" function is really useful in that it spaces out repetition for you. What do you find more effective? The Redensarten or the Grundwortschatz? I feel like someone could easily learn about 200 or 300 words a week using the program. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am a bit sceptical about this method. I mean just passive listening while doing other activities. I have good results with the text which I have both in the audio and in the text form. It is good to look up all unknown words and to read the text several times (I do not mean in the same day or even in one session). Then listening works as a repetition of the previous reading. Then it is useful to add audio material with similar vocabulary but no transcription. When I practice only listening without looking up new word and reading the transcripts (a few times), it brings no progress. Perhaps it helps to keep what had been learnt before. If you do not have time for studying it is certainly good to listen to audio texts. But you cannot wait much progress until you add working with the written texts, that is looking up new words, memorising them and reading the text with understanding. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

In terms of sentence mining, I've a number of audiobooks for the HP series in different languages, as I'm a big fan of the L-R technique. Is there an application which can split audio files into sentences ? I know Audacity can do something similar but it's based on silent gaps in the file. I know it's technically feasible for an application to split an audio file into sentences if it's given the text as well. Has anything like this been written ?
Volte mentions listening to whole chapters in sequence. Can you imagine having an entire book at the sentence level. The biggest problem is that the sentences and phrases are sometimes rearranged in the translations. Edited by DaraghM on 14 October 2011 at 3:26pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

DaraghM, there's functions in Audacity that could probably split up audio along "silence." Which you would think would occur at the end of a sentence. But it might be a little hard to do that. You could individually edit it. That might take awhile though

Yes. TranscriberAG. I used its earlier version called just Transcriber and it is excellent. And it is free. It requires manual operation but it helps you a whole lot. http://transag.sourceforge.net/ 2 persons have voted this message useful |
