That’s a friend of mine, actually, albeit one I don’t see very often. Last I heard from her, in late March, she said she was making headway, and thought that she might have them done in a month or so, so hopefully we will hear something soon.
We have 10 stories in Hungarian delivered so far.
Brilliant. Thank you! These are really useful and seem just what I needed to give me some structure. please let us know when the rest go up.
thank you!!
Any update on Norwegian?
Hi Zoran… i’m loving the European Portuguese Mini Stories, and they’ve given my language learning motivation a good kick start again! The lady’s voice is really clear and the recordings are excellent. Do you know when the next set will be ready for use? I’m working my way through and woudl like to be able to continue with them, if possible.
Perfect timing to ask! I just got more stories today and later today they will be up on the site.
Unfortunately not. I will be posting updates here regularly whenever I upload new lessons.
Just in case it is easier to ping you a message here than by putting up a top-level post, or by email, I was wanting to ask if you were still wanting people to compose new original mini-stories so as to expand the set? I could have a go at writing some, if you don’t already have people working on it.
that’s brillliant - than kyou, Zoran! I look forward to working through them.
A few updates here:
- Good news, German and Korean are now finally complete and you can find all 60 stories for these two languages available in the Library.
- Since my latest update, Serbian was also completed.
- More Dutch stories added. I expect all 60 done here too within next month.
- Hungarian was added in Beta and I started uploading Hungarian stories too. All 60 will be up within next few days.
- Next in line for uploading are Scandinavian languages. I received new stories in Swedish, Danish and Finnish and will start uploading them.
- Croatian Mini Stories are also coming within next few days - all 60!
I hoped somebody wants to continue translating into Esperanto…
I am currently sitting on audio for the first 7 Finnish stories; hopefully will have time to edit them this weekend, and ideally meet up again with my friend in Edinburgh for another batch in November. Which ones have you got already? If they are from someone who can do more of them sooner than that, it may be worth asking if they would be willing to - although, if you would be willing to send me the ones you’ve got, I can normalise them to the same volume as the ones my friend did (and indeed, compare the audio quality - if I was able to get better sound quality than the other person, then it might be worth waiting till my friend can do another batch, even if it takes a little longer).
So far I actually have transcription for stories 1-51, no audios yet. So if you are working on audios at the moment, that’s great.
I do actually have one new volunteer for Esperanto. We will see if he will deliver something soon!
Thank you!
I have been practicing Spanish currently. Lots of listening practice is necessary if I want to understand the spoken language. I use these resources 10+ Best Language Learning Software . They are pretty useful
It would be interesting if european portuguese could get more than 30 mini stories.
@bull We have all 60 stories done in European Portuguese. They were delivered a few days ago and I will put them on the site soon.
Hopefully Norwegian too!
Thank you very much
Great! Croatian is up? Dutch is up? Thank you
