Hi there,
Has anyone else found that there is a dearth of intermediate and advanced Greek content? Almost no youtube videos or podcasts are importable, and importing audiobooks from bookvoice appears to be impossible.
Any advice before I quit lingq? There is almost nothing appropriate within lingq’s content, and seemingly no easy way to bring in quality supplementary material.
Many thanks for any suggestions people may have.
Rooster Tools (paid extensions) handles some good greek sources for LingQ import
Rooster Playlist import extension for Librivox audio books, and Rooster Video Tools for MegaTV series. MegaTV website changed recently so the overlay looks a bit whacky on that website, will be improved with Video Tools V3 later this year.
You can import caption-less videos from YouTube without any paid extensions by ripping the audio as MP3 and then manually creating a lesson on LingQ.
Hi, you don’t need audio when you are working on LingQ (, which is a reading app foremost.) You can always work with text lessons only. Next to ebooks you can find blogs, news or any text on any Grrek website or read Wikipedia articles about something you are interested in. Or you find music lyrics online, import them to LingQ and listen to the music on YouTube or spotify at the same time. Or you search on YouTube under ηχητικό βιβλίο and filter the ones with subtitles (where you mostly find classics).
Or, if you want transcripts with audio, you could become a member of “Easy Greek” and use their podcasts + transcripts on LingQ ( Easy Greek — Videos & podcast for learning Greek | Patreon).
There are so many possibilities…
Buy ebooks and
use a book converter (Epubor seems to be better than Calilbre).
