Pivate pc in a private network ? In most cases we need the internet to reach the dictionaries and we will use our private computer to access internet for other activities. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Just a heads up: OS X Yosemite users must update MAMP to the latest version, as version 3.0.5 will not work anymore.
By the way, the latest big feature (related words) is very useful, thanks for that. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

How do you rate words?
At the moment, I mark words I know passively as 'well known' because it makes it easier to read when just the trickier ones are coloured. Then my idea was to sort all the words I don't know (marked as 1) after frequency and then learn them one by one. However, there are words I understand passively but probably wouldn't be able to come up with when writing so I guess using the 1-5 rating makes sense. The question is how you use it. The same goes for moving them from 2 to 3, etc. Any rules? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I created a file so you can import texts from supported sites (such as Langsam
gesprochene Nachrichten) with a simple click. If you have LWT installed at http://lwt.allalla.com and save the file as import.php you can import a text simply by adding http://lwt.allalla.com/import.php?url= in front of your URL. http://www.dw.de/13112014-langsam-gesprochene-nachrichten/a- 18059979 Would become: http://lwt.allalla.com/import.php?url=http://www.dw.de/13112 014-langsam- gesprochene- nachrichten/a-18059979 The script will automatically fetch the title & text from DW and import it to LWT. I'm using the software TextExpander so I can write ;import and it magically transforms into http://lwt.allalla.com/import.php?url=. You can also create a bookmarklet if you're more comfortable with that. http://www.fluentin3months.com/forum/resources-2/langsam-ges prochene-nachrichten- in-itunes-with-rss/#p26885 At the moment the script supports DW and SlowGerman but I'm open for suggestions. I've considered adding some kind of lyrics site but I don't know which.

Thanks.
In SlowGerman it shouldn't import the text after "Episode hier herunterladen". Also it would be good the text gets tagged as "Slow German", "DW", etc. And if the mp3 could be automatically downloaded and linked to the text!

Thanks. I've updated the script with a fix for SlowGerman although it's a problem that they don't keep to one standard. The current fix covers the five versions I could find but I didn't check all 90 episodes. I also added a simple function to fetch and include the last mp3-file linked on the website. It worked on the two pages i tested but it's not really a priority since I'm using iTunes. Unfortunately I haven't figured out how the tags functions work. I could do a hack but there's always the risk that the system gets messed up when you don't rely on standard functions that are in place to clean up the DB when you delete something. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There's now a new version on github, since the original hasn't been updated for some time.
