There's been another update at the GLOSS site!
They've added French & Japanese (yay!) but it looks like for some reason they've taken off Tagalog (?). But it seems like Weekly Training Events has activities for Tagalog, as well as for Arabic, Chinese, Dari, Hindi, Korean, Kurmanji, Pashto, Persian, Russian & Sorani.

Hmm...only one lesson for Japanese. Still, it's a start and I hope they continue to add more lessons in the near future. :) Edited by lady_skywalker on 04 March 2009 at 7:31pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

What a wonderful resource!! I love the dialogues. For Mandarin, I have used this site in conjunction with my Dim Sum to generate word lists and convert the text to Pinyin for reference sake. Definitely, two thumbs up! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I requested CDs from the Gloss website for Mandarin. After a couple weeks, I received them today in my mailbox.
I received two CDs. The content on the CDs is exactly as the website for my chosen language. The first CD is the reading CD. The second, listening. I was previously downloading the mp3's off the website and putting them onto my mp3 player for review. However, the task was a little cumbersome and I am a little lazy thus the request. Anyways, I'm excited to have received them and wanted to share this with you. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yes, indeed, for my Spanish, French and Turkish the language transcripts on the GLOSS site are very useful. The French and Spanish ones contain the audios, so I can listen and read the transcript. For Turkish - unfortunately - there are only the transcripts available at the moment, not the audios. But any way, I am still on a beginner level in Turkish, and GLOSS starts at a - as I would say - B1/B2 level.

LISTENING EXCERCISE EN FRANÇAIS
Today I used the French recordings on the GLOSS site for listening excercises. The way I do it is that I read the FRENCH text while listening to the FRENCH audio. On this level there are only very few unknown words for me. The second step for me would be to look up unknown French words in my Langenscheidt French-English dictionary or to look them up in the English translation of the French text. I must figure out what works better. The topics are useful, because I will use the Frnech language professionally. I am always very glad to find audios with transcripts. How do other people make use of the GLOSS site? Fasulye-Babylonia 1 person has voted this message useful |
