Hey Guys, I've found a couple of very partial transcripts for Pimsleur Japanese. It seems that many people begin transcribing the series and then give up before too long. I think it really just ends up being way too much work for one person. I know, I've tried. So, I was thinking that if interested people wanted to form a group, we could probably get it transcribed much more easily. It's also much more efficient to have a single person transcribe a single unit once, rather than having ten people all creating duplicate transcripts of the same unit.

For studying purposes, ideally, each unit would be transcribed in English, Romaji, Hiragana/Katakana, and Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji. If we can get that far, I can create flashcards for the material. (I can make some really good flashcards using MemoryLifter, and eventually add audio, too.)

If it were allowed by the mods on this board, we could work on the transcripts here, having the more knowledgeable members correct our errors. If that doesn't work, which it might not due to copyright issues, then we could try doing it on Lang-8. In the latter case, we could even pair up with Japanese students trying to translate the English for Japanese speakers version.


Anyone interested in taking part of this? Any thoughts or suggestions?
 
I just wonder if it is legal or not.

It's perfectly legal to make the transcript, but I'm not sure about posting it. Supposedly, Simon and Schuster have made people take down transcripts due to copyrights. But there are still a couple of transcripts online, both years old.
 
If anyone comes across this in their hunt for Pimsleur study aids, supplemental flash cards for the 1st and 2nd series are available on iKnow.
 
I have the transcript for japanese I 3rd ed II2nd ed and III 2nd ed.
Though I am learning II and III 3rd edition as well, so my notes don't help :( anyone have the 2nd edition notes for II and III?? Or advise?
