by the way http://swac-collections.org/search.php?lang=wuu&str=%28example%20sentences%29&exactly=1 here you can hear some sentence in shanghainese and also here http://lexique.shtooka.net/overview.php?langs=zh_CH|wuu_CN which is maybe more interesting in a first time as you have both the chinese and shanghainese writing/audio

hope this help

The other thing that I picked up on was, like Antoine’s and your exchange about 读, 看, 読む, and 見る、 I did notice that for the Japanese example “習earn,” you offered the Chinese equivalent “学earn.” At first I thought that it was maybe an unintentional sub, but then realized you probably felt that, if you are talking single characters in Chinese, 学 would be used that way, but usually not 习、 the simplified version of 習。 I then realized that this contrasts with Japanese, where 習う is used in more contexts to mean “to learn” than 学ぶ。 If you were allowed to somehow use more than one character in this method, then you could have the 学习 / 学習 combination that is found, in varying degrees, in both languages. But I digress….

With regards to your last point, both 看 and 读 are ambiguous in Chinese as single characters, but 看 clearly most often means “look at” or “watch” (which would correspond to Japanese 見る). That makes 读 a better choice.

Another way- on Windows, FLVs get cached in temporary files in Local Settings\Temp, but are locked and can’t be copied, and disappear when moving off the page. You can use backup/restore to copy the file, or I’ve had some luck with ddcopy, which can circumvent the file lock.

For a few weeks that was really difficult too but it helped a lot with regards to my recall time when I was reading purely Chinese websites.

Now it just feels normal to read things in this manner:

“The [animal entertainment] industry doesn’t 要 民 to 想 dolphins are capable 之 suicide, but these are 己-aware creatures with a 腦 larger than a human 腦. (lol such a weird sentence)

I recommend combining the Characterizer with Perapera-kun, the popup dictionary, and makings characters replace the whole word so when you don’t know the word you can just over over it for a translation if you need it.
