Overview of all chinesepod lessons?

I just tinkered with the pdf file, and found that I was able to copy the list over to ms word, so there is no need for you to make it available after all. Thanks anyway.

I must say, I am blown away! I am impressed with the quality, and I thank you for your work. I like your idea about transferring the info to excel, would you please make the word version available?

thanks again

I don't know about an Excel file, but I have my PDF of Newbie and Elementary vocabulary. At the beginning is a character-based dictionary, but it ends with a purely alphabetical list. If you would prefer, I can also make my Word version available, which you could transfer to excel yourself. Let me know if you want that.

Is there such an excel file for vocabulary words?

RJ, great suggestions! I forgot about WLCP and will check that. I like to have everything together in a book where I can add notes and highlight stuff and don't need technology to use it. Maybe this is not good from an environmental point of view but I fly too much to make that sound "credible".
Although I do not have any plans to commercially exploit this “jewel”, the first 800- 900 or so lessons can be used without permission, but with proper references if I understand the “creative common licence” correctly?

WLCP does a good job of compiling expansion sentences. And the lesson for that matter. I would use that to make the book but it sounds like a lot of re-printing at this point.

Perhaps you should have some copies of this book made and sell them on your jewelry site. I would buy one :-) (you would need permission of course)

Henning that is an excellent idea! Maybe I should have thought about that before i combined all the pdf's in one binder :-P.

Do you know perhaps if there is a "short cut" to get all the html expansion sentences without individually going / clicking on them i.e. has anyone before me gathered them (in one place / document)?

Again ty for your help.

Chanelle,
don't forget to also print out the HTML-pages with the expansion sentences.

Thank you all for your help. I'll guess that I make my booklet without number 350 :-) I combined all the pdf's and still have over 4000 pages of lessons. That will be enough for now. I will aks a printing office to bind it in a nice book.

History time?

Here is the list of the old Advanced-lessons - that came out before the zh-site was opened (with 日本恐怖片):

The oldest Advanced lesson currently in the archive is dated July 2006.  I remember some that came before that.  Topics like: carving a name in the Great Wall, the 8 cuisines of China, Chinese family names.  I saved some of them, but not all.  The ones I have seem to be no longer available, and I have no way to know which ones I don't have.

Lesson C0350pb was part of the bitTorrent download of lessons 1 to 500. It's a 32 second clip of John P and a high-pitched male voice claiming to be Jenny with a cold.

No, there's no #350. I've never understood why, but I remember compiling my own last way back - early 2007? - and there was no 350 at that time either.

Later on there was a Media lesson that was deleted due to... issues... That was #858.

There's actually a full list function available now?! About time! Now that I'm wrapping up final exam marking, perhaps I'll have a chance to get back to Chinese.

Mark, if you're serious about the old zh lessons, I probably have them on a backup DVD somewhere. But weren't most of them ported over when the two sites were re-combined? And as much as the OCD part of me likes complete collections, when you look at some of the purged lessons, you can see why they went.

Thx Rj,

Maybe there is no number 350?! I checked THIS link and looked at the old lessons in nov 2006: between 349 Ordering Office Supplies and 351 Being Seated In A restaurant there is no lesson at all. It is a mystery!

Just saw Hennings comment too late: I have a lot of old newbie lessons maybe if someone knows the title I might have it already....

I checked yesterday and came to the conclusion that that 0350 was a Newbie lesson. I might have it, but Newbie is the only level where I didn't bother to built up a matching to the old level-specific numbering so I am not certain which of the Axxx-lessons it is.

I just checked my old files. I have a lot of very old ones but no 350 :-(.  Somebody has it Im sure.

Thank you Mark for you respons! Maybe another "first hour" poddie knows what lesson number 350 was? I have 1 to present complete now: except for that 1 lesson haha! The control freak in me wants to have everything complete :-)

It is hard to know which is lesson 350, because I saved a lot of the old lessons using mnemonic names.  :=(  Personally, I'm hoping the advanced lessons from the old "zh" site will show up again somewhere, sometime. (speaking of collector's items)

Aha I see, I have lesson 1 to 1000 complete (I had still many old lessons stored) and I am only missing number 350 :-)

So, number 350 is a collectors item? *wink wink*

Chanelle,
there have been two waves of cleansing. The first came with the switch to "V3" July 2007 and is not visible in the numbering scheme. The second came somewhat later and it left some holes in the system. Together this weeded out about 20 "old" Advanced lessons, 15-20 Intermediate lessons, 100 Newbie + Elementary lessons, "Word on the Street" and "The Saturday Show". Among the Newbie lessons was the first ever broadcasted CPod lesson...

Could it be so that there are some lessons "missing"? For example there is no number 350 and if I count the files from lesson 1 to 1100 there are not 1100 files....

Hey guys that is exactly what I was looking for!

RJ, Nice list saves me a lot of work. Henning thx for your suggestion. Kimiik thx for the link but I think it is not working anymore.

I need the list because I am organizing all my files and want everything to be complete. Then I want all the pdf's printed in one booklet :-)

I am DEnovating :-P

Henning

you are so right.

he he - I took your advice before you gave it.

OK - that came too late. Just go with RJs list.

;)

With the new "full list" function in the "Channels" tab (in "Lessons") you can compile such a list with medium effort.

In Excel2007 you can directly import tables from the web (I don't know the translations of the German menus but I guess it is something like "Data->Import External Data->From the Web"). Select the Full List for the level of your choice. You need one import for all pages of the Full List: 3 for Upper Intermediate and ca. 25 total for all levels.

I made a list of newbie through Media and it is available here:

Yves Goulnik made a liste at the following address but I think it was discontinued :
