New Resource: Short Link for the Bearing Witness Book

Next week, we will begin studying the Bearing Witness (bt) book at the Congregation Bible Study. A list of resources related to this book, that may be helpful to Chinese field language learners, is now available at:

• Bearing Witness Book Links (tiandi.info/bt)

Besides listing some great new official resources that are now available, this short link also lists the refreshed and re-uploaded web page for downloading the 3-line XLP-iPhone-A5 LN-A PDF files that had been made for the Bearing Witness book years ago, when it had previously been studied at the CBS. Perhaps some will find the particular features of these files helpful. (It should be noted, though, that the material in these files was based on an older printing of the Mandarin Bearing Witness book.)

“God’s Love” Bk. 3-Line Material Up to Ch. 5 Checked

Starting on December 18, 2017, Mandarin Congregation Bible Study meetings are scheduled to start using the “God’s Love” book. (Interestingly, on that date, Cantonese Congregation Bible Study meetings are instead apparently scheduled to start using the Teach Us book. As far as I can recall, this will be the first time that the Mandarin and Cantonese CBS meetings use different publications.)

While 3-line material exists for the entire “God’s Love” book, it was produced many years ago, so it was not based on the current official 2017-02 Mandarin version. As of this writing, the existing 3-line material has been checked up to the end of Chapter 5, and so far, no differences have been found compared to the text of the current official 2017-02 Mandarin version.

However, during this checking, some errors were found in the existing 3-line material. The affected PDF files available for download at the below links have been revised with annotations indicating the errors that were found:

• “God’s Love” Book
  (Chinese-Pīnyīn-English PDFs)
  (proofread, A4/Letter size and
  XLP-iPhone-A5 size)
  
  
• “God’s Love” Book
  (Chinese-Cantonese Rom.-English PDFs)
  (Chinese and English proofread,
  romanization not proofread)
  
• Short Links:
  Links ▶ Publications ▶ Books ▶
  “God’s Love” Book Links (tiandi.info/lv)

Unfortunately, some less advanced PDF-viewing apps such as iBooks do not fully support PDF annotations, but PDF annotations are well supported in modern PDF-viewing apps such as GoodReader, Documents, Adobe Acrobat Reader, etc.

Further checking will be done as time allows.

Updated Wilmington Mandarin Course Textbook Files Now Available

Updated Wilmington Mandarin course textbook files, dated August 22, 2013, are now available for download from the Mandarin Course from Wilmington page (courses short link: tiandi.info/courses).

Here is a comment from the creator of these files about this update:

“The audio files have not changed. I simply changed some formatting and expanded a couple of pages (for example: The section on "zhidao" and "renshi" was really short. I made it into a full page instead of half a page.)”

Also of note is that in view of the recently released Chinese Insight book omitting the section on p. 328 of the English Insight book that discusses the Chinese character “船 (chuán)”, the paragraph on p. 9 of the Wilmington Mandarin course textbook that previously mentioned “船” has been rewritten to no longer mention this character and the unprovable speculation about it.

Recreated Resource: Wilmington Mandarin Course Page

The Mandarin Course from Wilmington page (courses short link: tiandi.info/courses), which used to be on www.chinesetools.net, has been recreated on troubadourworks.com/tiandi.

Not only has it been recreated, the following new files are now available on it:

• New PDF textbook files, dated Sept. 28, 2012
• MP3 audio files for Lessons 17 and 18

Work on recreating Chinese field resources at troubadourworks.com/tiandi is continuing, so check back here regularly for updates.

(Note that landscape orientation may work best, as explained on the 3-Line Material on the iPhone and the iPod touch page.) Some may prefer to use these files on larger mobile devices like the Kindle DX or the iPad as well. (See the 3-Line Material on the iPad page for instructions on how to use these files on an iPad.)

Also, instructions are included re how to download the files on an iPhone or an iPod touch using GoodReader for iPhone, and how to download the files on an iPad using GoodReader for iPad.

2013-04-04 Edition of Referenced Theo. Expressions Now Available

The Referenced Theo. Expressions files available for download have been updated. They are available for download from the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) Downloads and Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Cantonese Romanization + English) Downloads pages. These files are relatively extensive lists of theo. expressions as they have been found to be rendered in the Chinese publications. Versions sorted by English and versions sorted by romanization are both available.

The current edition is now dated 2013-04-04. It contains 18,750 / 18,752 entries and 9568 / 10,080 alternate headings, compared to the 17,648 entries and 9409 alternate headings that were in the previous edition. For the Mandarin RTE data, Pleco, Wenlin, ChinaScribe, DICT, StarDict (for ColorDict, etc.), and iSilo data files are now available in addition to the PDF files. (We have not been able to make the StarDict data files work with the StarDict program itself, but they may work with ColorDict and other programs that read the StarDict format.)

Here are some comments from the one who produces the RTE, regarding this update:

There's been another 1,000+ entries since last October (including some from new publications), plus a much-needed update to the Pleco instructions re Android.

...

PS: in the notes on the entry for "pray anytime", I've put the Chinese lyrics from the Become Jehovah's Friend video on jw.org (which they didn't publish in textual form); this transcription has been proofread by an HK sister.

Bookmarks have been added to the PDF files with “LN-A” (“Link Navigation-Annotation”) included in their filenames, and PDF annotation has been enabled on them as well. See the PDF Link Navigation page and the PDF Annotation (Notes & Highlighting) page for more information.

Note that Pleco is now available for iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad and for Android. The RTE Pleco Instructions file contains instructions for installing the RTE Pleco files in Pleco running on these devices.

As a reminder, note that the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) Web Lookup and Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Cantonese Romanization + English) Web Lookup pages are available as well. Rather than containing download links to the RTE data files, they each contain a web form that can be used to look up RTE information.

Thanks go out to the ones who helped to produce this set of resources.
