Brendan Posted May 6, 2008 at 05:33 AM Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 at 05:33 AM There doesn't seem to be any discussion about this series which has been running for the last few months on cctv9 for those of us in China. It's pretty much intermediate level. I'd like to upload a bunch of mp3s as good listening practice if there is any interest. I'm not sure if that would be breaking any copyright. And could someone let me know how to upload the files - there are about 40 files, altogether 100MB. I have most of the transcripts as well.

magores Posted May 7, 2008 at 01:23 AM Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 at 01:23 AM ignoring the issue of copyright for the moment... you could do it as a torrent (pirate bay), and then post the link here. or rapidshare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted May 9, 2008 at 08:23 AM Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 at 08:23 AM Thanks for the suggestion Magores. I've uploaded a file called Sports Chinese, sound files.ace (100 MB), to sendspace. You can use the following link to retrieve the file: http://www.sendspace.com/file/nv6x5g For those unfamiliar with the cctv9 Sports Chinese program, each episode has a dialog followed by vocab and grammar explanations. I've simply recorded & edited the sound as mp3 files, so it would be a good idea to check out the videos to get more context, available online at http://english.cctv.com/index.shtml Use IE to see videos of older episodes; the links disappear if you use Firefox Happy listening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alexkos Posted May 9, 2008 at 06:31 PM Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 at 06:31 PM sorry, can't open the link... probably it's PRC's firewall please, re-upload the file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted May 9, 2008 at 11:28 PM Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 at 11:28 PM Ni hao alexkos, the link is fine. Unfortunately it's the access which is a little problem, but not too big. Try using Firefox's Tor add-on, very easy to install and use. Perhaps other people use other options. I'm sure there has been a lot of discussion about accessing the internet from within China. Look through the forum archives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_redman Posted May 10, 2008 at 01:30 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 at 01:30 PM Thanks for the files, Brendan. Their (CCTV) website has done some weird tricks to make it difficult to save the files (actually I can't even play them due to javascript errors), so it's good you did this. I just gave a quick listen so far, and they do seem like a good listen at an intermediate level. I did add some ID3v2 tags to mine, to make it easier to browse on my mp3 player. Here's what I have: Title: CCTV Sports Chinese Author: CCTV Year: 2008 Genre: Chinese Language Courses Comment: chinese-forums.com/showthread.php?p=151296; cctv.com/program/TravelinChinese_new/01/index.shtml MP3 File List ============= Size MB Duration File Name 01 5.15 0:07:30 SC 01 Introductions, 1 Dialogue.mp3 02 0.83 0:01:12 SC 01 Introductions, 2 Vocab.mp3 03 1.68 0:02:26 SC 01 Introductions, 3 Language points.mp3 04 2.34 0:03:23 SC 02 Expressing gratitude & regret, 1 Dialogue.mp3 etc. ... If you've got the transcripts also, it would be really useful to include it. The cctv site has disabled control keys for those pages, so it takes a few extra keystrokes to hack past it.

Brendan Posted May 12, 2008 at 02:42 PM Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 at 02:42 PM Here's a link to the CCTV9 Sports Chinese transcripts http://www.sendspace.com/file/hz7qhs Some of the episodes are missing. I would have attached the docs to this message but couldn't work out how to do that using WinAce Archiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 12, 2008 at 02:49 PM Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 at 02:49 PM If you are having trouble with attachments email them to admin@... and I'll see if I can sort it out. Although if it's more than a few MB a filesharing service would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 13, 2008 at 02:06 AM Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 at 02:06 AM Have attached a .rar archive with the transcripts to the first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
