Nice job. I made a new cover for this book, similar to the other FSI books I did (http://www.omilialanguages.com/shop.html). If you like I could have it made available on Amazon as a print-on-demand book, and we could split any profits. I don't want to get your hopes up, in fact it will probably about break even with the setup costs (about $110), but it'd be nice to have it in book form. Send me a PM if your interested.

pdfs can be embeded with audio. So if the files are set up for each page of your text, it can be set up to work with the audio as you read the page. It would make the pdf file size a bit larger, but much easier to use.

it's in the pipeline:) I've split the audio into lessons, but also into exercises, phrases and words.

I'll do the link between audio and parts of the document in the pdf next week (I'm on hollidays last week). And with the epub version. But it will take time .. there are 3000 to 5000 parts to link .. and I do that on my free time.


There are many audio parts which were not recorded. My wife will record them, but it will also take some time :)

There will be also a sort of lexique with the audio gavered in the audio lessons. How I'll do that is yet not graved in stone. I have to think about it.

good night (here in France)

Eric

I also have a cover page, but will take a look at yours. Maybe, we could make this book available as a real book (print-on-demand book), but making profit was not in my view: it's a hobby for me. (and this course was given for free to the community). I'll make a French translation as soon as I finished the English version.

Other translations could be made available by other members. I'll provide the phrases to translate as a xliff or tmx file. (used by omegat(free tool) , and other translators tools)

good night

Eric

hi,

some news:


I finished to mark every Russian part with the tag "foreignlanguage" (docbook document).

The pdfs are updated (some minors formating and typo errors)

I generated the epub files for the whole document and the separate lessons.

If you want the document in other formats, let me know.

Tomorow, I'll begin to stress the Russian words and generate the stressed versions.

Enjoy

If you want some assistance making recordings, or editing them, let me know, I have some
experience with this, I'd be happy to help.

Regards
