# Chinwa Chinese language resources
|
|
|
|
|
|
+## Introduction
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
Chinwa was a website with some Chinese language learning resources: HSK lists in French and English, and some grammar points explained. The website is no longer online.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I earlier got some of their stuff and built learning lists with sound in different format: xml, json and csv.
|
|
|
@@ -10,3 +12,82 @@ These lists can easily be imported in Anki, or another program.
|
|
|
I made an Anki deck with sound: most of the sounds come from the Shtooka project [Shtooka project](https://shtooka.net) or on my website which maintains a copy of it (I added some missing parts) [Yojik Website](https://www.yojik.eu).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The missing sounds were created by Text To Speech: I tried many flavors of the system and ended using the sounds produced by Google translate. I wrote some script to automaticely download the sounds.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## The lists
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I extracted the lists from the web pages. I built csv (comma separated value) files from the extraction:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Here is an example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+> 爱 ài aimer, affection, apprécier
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I added some fields: traditional writing, origin, sounds, so I got this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+> 爱 愛 ài aimer / affection / apprécier love HSK1 `[sound:cmn-1cd08e6e.ogg]` Chinwa 29233
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The transformation program is written in nodejs/javascript: Ididn't know well the language at thi time, so, I decided to deep a bit with
|
|
|
+real problem solving.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Th program generates 2 other files:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. a JSON file with the same content as the .csv files.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ {
|
|
|
+ "hanzi": "爱 ",
|
|
|
+ "traditional": "愛 ",
|
|
|
+ "pinyin": "ài",
|
|
|
+ "translation": "aimer / affection / apprécier ",
|
|
|
+ "classifier": "",
|
|
|
+ "lesson": "HSK1",
|
|
|
+ "sound": "`[sound:cmn-2d9d12c4.ogg]`",
|
|
|
+ "origin": "Chinwa"
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+2. a XML file, with the same content.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <enregistrement>
|
|

+## The Anki decks
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The Anki decks are created by importing the .csv files.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I created different notes, to exercise different parts of the language.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+There are 7 different ways to learn:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Normal
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This is like the normal use of Anki, with the Hanzi presented (recto) and the English or French translation presented on the verso face. There is sound associated.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Sound
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ You'll her the sound, and have to guess the translation (English or French.)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Saisie-Hanzi
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The English/French translation is displayed, and you have to type the Hanzi correspondance.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Saisie-Pinyin
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The English/French translation is displayed, and you have to type the Pinyin correspondance.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Son-Saisie-Hanzi
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ You'll hear the sound (Chinese) and will have to type the corresponding Hanzi.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Son-Saisie-Pinyin
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ You'll hear the sound (Chinese) and will have to type the corresponding Pinyin.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Traditional
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This is like the Normal deck, but with traditional writing.
