Recording and exchanging each others word lists in LingQ.

Words and phrases are key to language learning. Studying lists that come from one's listening and reading is very helpful. Hearing them over and over should also help.

Here is a post I just made on the LingQ Forum. I am putting it here to get some more reaction to this idea.

Here is a link to a list of my saved LingQs from a history text I am listening to and reading in LingQ. Is anyone (native speaker) willing to record the  list of words and phrases in Russian and send the sound file to me. I will do the same for English.

I am experimenting. What I see is this.

I spent some time going through these LingQs as Flash Cards (because the LingQs show up fast there) and reviewing the examples and selecting the ones that I want. I also edited them. This is already helpful too my learning of these words and phrases.

If I get a sound file of these I will listen over and over to that file.

I will also import the list and sound file into LingQ and see if I find that helpful for vocab review, repeating the sound files, and perhaps changing the examples.

I can then also share this new list/sound file content item with other LingQ members.

Others may want to try to do this for other languages. All comments appreciated.

I would be glad to do it by tomorrow, as I am leaving now. (The day after tomorrow will be the very latest) In the soft I am working on, the user can review both the texts and the original mutterings of the phrases that she selects in one click.

Thanks Ilya, looking forward and also looking forward to finding out more about your system.

Steve, I have sent the mp3 and the information about my system to steve@lingq.com and steve@thelinguist.com . If none of these addresses is right please let me know.

many thanks Ilya an I have already enjoyed listening to the recording.

Hi Steve,
could you confirm receiving of mp3 yesterday?

The address I used was stevek@thelinguist.com.

Dimitriy,

I have now received your sound file and uploaded it and am listening to it on my MP3 player. Many thanks. I now have two versions of this list and that is great. Hearing two or more different voices read the same material increases the ability to concentrate.

Can I do a list for you?

Steve

Thanks Dimitriy,

С Рождеством Христовым и С наступающим Новым Годом
