They are NOT working on Apple Macintosh at the moment. "Spanish Audio Vocabulary Tutor" link://projects/lts.html This Vocabulary Tutor contains 500 words. The user can view the text of the word spoken, translate the word amongst other things. Tested in IE 4.7, 5, 6 and Netscape 4.61 "Spanish Audio Vocabulary Tutor the second" link://projects/lts-two.html This is the same as above but contains 120 extra words. Unfortunately the sound quality is BAD "French Audio Vocabulary Tutor" link://projects/ltf.html This is the same as the Spanish Vocabulary Tutor but for the French Language. It contains 824 words and has been tested in IE 4.7, 5, 6 "English Audio Vocabulary Tutor" link://projects/lte.html This is designed for spanish speakers- although the interface is written in english (!). It contains 900 words which are spoken with an American accent. The sound quality is poor. Tested in IE 4.7, 5, 6 "Phrase tutor with cinema phrases" link://projects/pt-en-en.html This is a program [web page] designed to increase the users comprehension of spoken english. It only contains about 20 phrases currently. Tested in IE 4.7, 5, 6 "Enseņador de frases de cinema" link://projects/pt-en-sp.html Pocas frases pero aun bueno Probado por IE 4.7, 5, 6 pero aun no mucho. Me gusta la idea de este programa, que hace servir el sentido de humor para ensenyar la idioma. "A Catalan Audio Tutoring Web-page" link://projects/gencat-ca-en.html The problems: 1. you need to have real player installed in order for this and the one below to work, 2. doesnt work in anything except Microsoft Internet Explorer (and not all versions), 3. it doesn't work on anything except a Microsoft operating system If you fit into this narrow category of person, and you actually want to learn catalan, you should actually find this useful. This is the same basic audio tutoring program as those below BUT it contains over 2000 words and phrases spoken in Catalan. The drawbacks are, that currently it only works in Microsoft Internet Explorer (and you may also have to have RealPlayer installed, but probably not), and the other drawback is that the audio files, are not always clear. This is a great pity, but I didn't make the sound files. These sound files were made by the Generalitat de Catalunya, mainly, it appears for foreign university students. (Thankyou Generalitat http://intercat.gencat.es ). The first time that you access this page it will take a long time for the page to load because the page in total is about 200K. This is because all the translations need to be downloaded (since everything is Javascript). There are better ways to do this, but at the moment I am not going to worry. (The sound files themselves, however, do not have to be downloaded) "An English Audio Tutor For Catalan Speakers" link://projects/gencat-en-ca.html This is the same as above but attempt to tutor English to Catalan speakers (unfortunately the 'interface' is still in English (!)). There are about 2000 words and phrases. The words appear to be spoken by a human being. This only works in Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 4 ish and above), but since it uses the RealPlayer plugin, which is the default and standard for more recent Netscape browser versions, it should be quite simple to get it to work on Netscape. These web-pages have only been tested on Microsoft Windows computers, and almost certainly dont work on other operating systems. If I get a chance to test them on other systems I will try to rectify this. The sound files are definitely of better quality than those contained in the page below (and more numerous) IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS "Some documents" link://docs/resources.html This page contains a type of index to a large set of documents which I have written on various topics, though mainly about internet programming issues. MISCELLANEOUS THINGS "List Manipulator" link://eg/javascript/ This page allows you to do some manipulation of text lists [which are just lines of text]. You can scramble the order of the lines, make the lines unique, replace text strings and patterns with new text, remove punctuation, count the number of lines amongst other things. "Various documents" link://docs/resources.html This page contains links to various documentation I have written CURRICULUM VITAE * Spanish and English (HTML) |cv/resume.html| * Spanish and English (Plain Text) |cv/resume.txt| * Spanish and English (Microsoft Word) |cv/resume.doc| * Spanish only (HTML) |cv/resume.es.html| * Spanish only (Plain Text) |cv/resume.es.txt| PROGRAMMING CODE EXAMPLES * "Java" link://eg/java/ * "Active Server Pages Code" link://eg/asp/ * "Microsoft Batch Script Examples" link://eg/batch * "C example(s)" link://eg/c/ * "Unix Shell Scripts" link://eg/unix-shell/ * "Javascript" link://eg/javascript/ "Active Server Pages function documentation" link://eg/asp/doc/func.html This is an index of the documentation that I wrote for Microsoft Active Server Pages functions that I wrote. In itself, this is not of much interest, except as an example of my approach to programming documentation "All Example Code Directories" link://eg/ This is a link to the index files for each directory on this site which contain programming code that I have written.
