Frequently Used Words

A web page has been set up for the Frequently Used Words files I received from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. Many thanks to that person, though, since, as it says in the introductions to those files, by learning the first 100 words you are helped to understand over about 41% of recent publications, and by learning the first 200 words, over about 50%.

A web page for the Budapest Uighur Course has been set up.

Icon Links on Budapest Course Pages

The icon graphics at the top left corner on the English and Spanish Budapest Course pages used to link to the Theo. Chinese Links page that was on the web. Since this Links page is no longer on the web, but is now only being sent by email to those on my mailing list, the icons are now just icons - they don't link to anywhere anymore.

Some trivia: This icon design contains the Chinese character for "field" over a background that was my attempt at representing a golden wheat field, ripe for harvesting. It was originally developed for a PC-based territory database program before finding a home on the web.

New km Magazine Presentation Audio Files

Cantonese & Mandarin audio files for the 2006-07-15 w km magazine presentation and a Mandarin audio file for the second 2006-07 g km magazine presentation have been posted to the km Magazine Presentation Audio Files site.


I originally hoped to keep up with all the km magazine presentations in both Cantonese and Mandarin, however, time constraints have prevented me from doing so. My goal now is just to create and post audio files for as many current magazine presentations as I have time for.


If any of you (as individuals or teams):



  • can read out Cantonese or Mandarin well,

  • are set up to produce .mp3 files,

  • and are willing and able to help out with creating km magazine presentation audio files,


produce a sample .mp3 file of a km magazine presentation and email it to me, and we'll see what we can arrange.
