Imitate Bk. Pīnyīn-English, Scriptures, EPUB & Web Material for Introduction Added

Imitate bk. Pīnyīn-English-with-scriptures EPUB & web material for all of the Introduction has been added to:

The material with a grey background has not yet received final editing, but is otherwise usable. Such material is available covering to the end of Chapter 8.


Note that:

  • The material in the above resources has been carefully translated, rendered, and proofread. (Any unproofread material is rendered with a lower-contrast grey background. While unproofread material is not as good as proofread material, it is generally better than nothing.)
  • Since the Imitate book may get revised, the material in the above resources has been checked against the Chinese Imitate book material on the WOL. If you notice that some changes need to be made to the material in the above resources to bring it in line with revisions to the Imitate book, please email me to let me know.
  • The linked full text of all the cited scriptures is included in the above resources.
  • The above resources are mobile-friendly—they are quite legible and usable on everything from desktop/laptop PCs and Macs to iPads and other tablets to iPhones and other smartphones.
  • In the above resources, links are used extensively to make it quick and easy to get around in the material, drastically reducing the amount of manual scrolling needed.
  • The above resources contain links for the official pictures and for the official Mandarin MP3 audio files.
  • The Offline Viewing and Printing sections of the above web resources explain how to view them offline. Of course, the web pages of the above web resources can also be printed out from your web browser.
  • Like PDF files, EPUB files can be downloaded for offline viewing.
  • In common EPUB-reading apps like iBooks, EPUB files can be annotated, meaning that notes, highlighting, etc. can be added.
  • In common EPUB-reading apps like iBooks, the text size of the EPUB material can be adjusted to be quite large.
  • iBooks has an optional Night theme.
  • For your convenience, a short link is available for the above resources.

Also, the introductions explain why it’s good to use Pīnyīn as a writing system on its own.
