markpete Posted September 5, 2004 at 03:29 AM Report Posted September 5, 2004 at 03:29 AM Anybody have any advice on how to get the voice recordings for Intermediate Chinese Reader by John DeFrancis without paying hundreds of dollars? If anyone's willing to trade or wants to split costs on the recordings for the series of readers, I already have the voice recordings for the Beginning Chinese Reader on cassettes, CDs, and mp3s.

xuechengfeng Posted September 5, 2004 at 04:27 AM Report Posted September 5, 2004 at 04:27 AM The Beginning books are $40 a piece. Why in the world am I looking up the Intermediate reader and it is $100 plus? Quote
gao_bo_han Posted September 9, 2004 at 05:39 PM Report Posted September 9, 2004 at 05:39 PM But well worth it. I have the recordings and books from both the beginning and intermediate series. They have them in CD format now for the intermediate recordings. Quote
markpete Posted September 9, 2004 at 08:46 PM Author Report Posted September 9, 2004 at 08:46 PM Hmm. Who offers the CDs for sale? I've only seen the tapes available from Yale Publications, and for quite a lot of money. How much did you pay for the CDs? Quote
gao_bo_han Posted September 20, 2004 at 06:55 PM Report Posted September 20, 2004 at 06:55 PM I apologize, I was mistaken. I have the tapes the Beginning Chinese Reader by DeFrancis, and the CDs to the Intermediate Reader of Modern Chinese by Chou Chih-p'ing, among others. Sorry about that guys. By the way, their reader is excellent, and so is the next in the semi-series, "All Things Considered: advanced reader of modern Chinese", which I'm currently reading. Those are from Princeton. Again, I'm sorry. Quote
xuechengfeng Posted September 21, 2004 at 09:41 PM Report Posted September 21, 2004 at 09:41 PM Sorry this won't help, but I just found out that we used DeFrancis Intermediate Reader for our Chinese program, and I have access to the tapes now. Quote
PollyWaffle Posted September 22, 2004 at 11:49 AM Report Posted September 22, 2004 at 11:49 AM i don't have these tapes, but i recommend you go to local university libraries & local govt libraries... they are an excellent source of freely copyable (is this a word?) books & tapes... there are also tons of downloadable language recordings on the web...
