roddy Posted July 28, 2005 at 05:35 AM Author Report Posted July 28, 2005 at 05:35 AM If you want to be able to read the explanations, the questions or the tapescripts, then you're going to have to use simplifed. I don't know how much of a problem that would be for you, but if it's something that will annoy you then you might want to look for an alternative course. Roddy Quote
lau Posted August 2, 2005 at 08:33 PM Report Posted August 2, 2005 at 08:33 PM well, when I was in between traditional and simplified characters, i often used a scanner plus any small program designed for converting GB to Big5 and other way round. it does mean printing out almost the whole book, but, if simplified characters seem to be a problem in the beginning, it sure is faster than the dictionary.

klortho Posted October 12, 2005 at 11:58 PM Report Posted October 12, 2005 at 11:58 PM Does anybody have the audio for these books already converted to MP3? If not, I'll do it myself, but if so, that could save me a lot of trouble. Thanks! Quote
taryn Posted June 12, 2006 at 04:16 PM Report Posted June 12, 2006 at 04:16 PM Anybody know what's up with the BCLU Press website? I tried to use the link Roddy posted at the beginning of this thread (http://www.blcup.com.cn/) and got a "Server not found message." I'm guessing you'd get that message even if you were on the Mainland? AUUGGGHH! I need more things to listen to besides Pimsleur. I've almost finished my really anal word-for-word transcript of Mandarin Level One though... Quote

taryn Posted June 12, 2006 at 06:01 PM Report Posted June 12, 2006 at 06:01 PM What a ridiculously quick reply! [i'm beginning to think Roddy is an animatron. No human could be so knowledgable...] Quote

hidden12345 Posted October 23, 2006 at 08:28 PM Report Posted October 23, 2006 at 08:28 PM does anyone know of any USA based online stores that one can purchase this series (BCLU listening course) from for people not currently living in China? Quote
elina Posted October 26, 2006 at 09:25 AM Report Posted October 26, 2006 at 09:25 AM We are not an USA based online store, but people outside mainland China can purchase products from us by mail order.

Flickserve Posted January 1, 2016 at 04:51 AM Report Posted January 1, 2016 at 04:51 AM I tried looking for this series at wangfujing bookstore on 1 Jan 2016. They don't have it in their catalogue. Quote
TheBigZaboon Posted January 1, 2016 at 02:44 PM Report Posted January 1, 2016 at 02:44 PM @Flickserve, This series has a whole new edition out. Or at least it is a decent substitute for the series in this thread. It even seems to be keyed to the HSK. In fact, I think it's more test oriented than it was before, but that might make a lot of people very happy. It's New Years here in Japan right now, and I have family responsibilities that come first, but I will give you the references next week. Please be patient. TBZ Quote
Flickserve Posted January 2, 2016 at 05:50 AM Report Posted January 2, 2016 at 05:50 AM @TBZ Thanks for the update on there being a new series. No need to rush. I have now left Beijing and am back in Hong Kong and will therefore try to source it again in the future. Quote

It turns out I will visit Beijing in a few weeks time for a couple of days. Could you give me more information on the name and ISBN? Thanks Quote
TheBigZaboon Posted April 28, 2019 at 01:07 AM Report Posted April 28, 2019 at 01:07 AM Took me a while to wake up, it's Sunday morning here.... I have no idea what I was talking about, which, I am told, is usually the case, but maybe one of these two series: Oriented towards English-speaking students: Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced Chinese Listening (ISBN for Advanced Listening II : 9787561937358). Each level seems to have a I and a II, and each has both a textbooks volume and a Listening scripts & answer keys volume, so at least a dozen slim books. The back of the student's listening-workbook volume has an expected previously learned word count, and an appropriate for studying for HSK X chart, making me think I may have been talking about this series. The other possibility is this one, used as part of the BLCU standard course for first year full time students: 汉语听力教程 ，divided into 第一册， etc. (ISBN for 第一册 student texbook and answer key volume: 9787651923634) CDs may be sold as extra material as this is used in classroom settings, and the audio may thus be provided by the school. (ISBN for the CDs for volume I is 9787887037459) This series seems to be the updated version of the series Elina references in her post above. You can contact her, she is extremely helpful. In any case, I think the two series are different, but one never knows, do one... Hope this helps. TBZ 1 Quote
roddy Posted April 28, 2019 at 06:46 AM Author Report Posted April 28, 2019 at 06:46 AM It looks like this might be the "second edition" but can't confirm. I'll also point out my original post was thirteen years ago now and I'm not sure if I'd be so enthusiastic now so many other resources are available. Those were dialup days 1 1 Quote
TheBigZaboon Posted April 28, 2019 at 07:59 AM Report Posted April 28, 2019 at 07:59 AM Yeah, that's the first item in my post. (Search by ISBN and it'll come up.) And you may be correct in that that's the second edition, while the second item is the second edition of the 听力 portion of the BLCU first year course. But as always, I'm required to stand by every misstatement I've ever made... TBZ... 1 Quote

Unfortunately, they didn't have either set of books for listening practice. I picked up various books on other aspects which I hope to go through. Enough material to last three years. Quote
