Pimsleur Wordlist - here!


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just updated to Excel file up to the point when Roddy lost interest.....

It's again the same file from the first message.

I will also do some ZDT files, but have really little time right now. I also need to review my own Pimsleur list since I forgot quite a lot again. My retention rate is probably >90% for course I, 70% for II and 50% for III.

Anyway, every time I go for a massage I ask for a Beifang girl now.

Hello,

#76 太好了 = "too nice to offer" sounds pretty weird, perhaps "Terrific or Wonderful" would be the best bet. :)

3 nì ne 你呢 how about [particle]

Ni is 3rd tone. This means: how about you.

21 xǐ zǎo jīan 洗澡 间 bathroom

Think it should be: xi shou3 jian (wash hands room)

tone mark goes on a in jian

25 kaī mēn 开门 open

tonal mark on a in kai. men is 2nd tone. It means: to open the door

27 jìu 就 only

the tone mark goes on the u

28 jǐu 久 period of time

same here, tonal mark on U. jiu usually means a long period of time.

28 shí jīan 时间 time

again, tonal mark on the a

29 zǎo 早 good morning

zao is early, not good morning, that is: zaoshang hao

33 duì bā 对巴 correct

think ba is neutral tone, not sure though, and the character for ba is wrong (not 100% sure though)

33 guìxìng 贵姓 what is your name?

formal way of asking one's familyname. Gui meaning noble or honorable in this case.

38 dǎ dī 打的 (take) taxi

the take should be without parentheses. Taxi is something else.

42 huílai 回来 return

means: come back

47 sheng 生 student

xuesheng is student, not just sheng

52 mǎshàng jìu 马上就 right now

wrong placing of tonal mark on jiu again. should be on the u

52 wǎng qíu 网球 tennis

same here (I might have missed a few in between though, maybe search the document on the iu combination)

58 lài 来 to come over

2nd tone if I'm not mistaken

75 měi ge rén dō 每个人 (…) everybody

it's dou, as in all

81 yi diar xiao yì sī 一点少意思 a small gift (or xiao3??)

missing tonal markings. think it should be xiao3 idd. then the character for xiao is wrong, you wrote shao.

This is what I could find. But I'm merely a beginner too, so didn't get all mistakes.

I've taken Flameproof's excel sheet and converted them over to ZDT formatted files. You can find them listed on this page. I've put them in groups of five since some Lessons didn't have too many words. I havn't done this yet, but I am also going to post them in PlecoDict format and maybe in ZDT writing sheet form as well.

Thank you indeed for your work.  I am finding it very helpful.  I noticed that your last entry for lesson 13 on your spreadsheet was entered as "no" without any corresponding character.  It is not clear to me on the mp3 aural  either.  Is the word "nuò" and the character 喏?

Is the last entry for lesson 13 on your spreadsheet the word 'nuo4" and the character 喏?
