[Course Forum] Hacking Bulgarian by VioletaAngelovaAngelova

@Lien Please could you make all the attributes ‘show at test’, and change ‘pronunciation’ to ‘Cyrillic’.

This could be quite a nice little intro. to Bulgarian course with a bit of tinkering, having the audio is great - there’s only one other BG course with audio as far as I’m aware. (I’d have to check every new one to find out - if only there was an audio marker available for courses!! :sunglasses:).

:sunflower:

I wish I could add audio to my courses but it would be a hefty undertaking. Anyway, I’m in ‘thinking time’ about how to structure a couple of new courses, so I’ve a little spare time to help on this one.

I don’t speak Bulgarian, so I don’t think I’d be very useful.

Wow.
My most recent complaints were “Hail Mary”s without any expectation that anything would happen.
I’m delighted to be wrong, and I appreciate your help.

That’s fine. I’m happy to sort what I can - I’ve corrected a few audio issues. If you find something odd let me know and I’ll sort it.

I will add some attributes and do a bit more tidying up when Lien changes the settings on a couple of things and I can see how it runs for learning and testing sessions.

Thanks, I appreciate your help. My email, if you need it, is [email protected] mailto:[email protected].
( Yes, I have good filters on it.)

I didn’t know there are people who learn Bulgarian. I’m a native Bulgarian. If you have a good course - as a spreadsheet - I can create a course. I don’t have special resources for recording an audio, just regular microphone. Here listen to an example:

It sounds good to me. I’m sure your help would be valuable.

@mary_platt здрасти! аз уча български език, но бавно е - и моето произношение е ужасно :blush:

The audio clip sounds good. There are a couple of entries in the Hacking course that need audio - if I post a (short) list here could you record the audio and I’ll add them to the course?

Hi @leggi, Apologies for the slow reply. I was in Barcelona all week, putting my Spanish to the test.
Requested changes were made, I hope it’s ok.
With regards to more Bulgarian courses with audio, these are the ones I’m aware of:

@ Lien, thanks! :sunflower:

@mary_platt I’ve added you as a contributor to ‘hacking Bulgarian’’ http://www.memrise.com/course/53035/hacking-bulgarian/

There are a few entries without audio, if you could flick through the database (only 8 pages) and add the missing files that would be fantastic for the course.

I get it. I’ll check what is the situation with this course.

It wasn’t so much without audio, the problem was the wrong audio.
After I studied elsewhere, I began to figure out that it wasn’t me, it was several items in the course that had completely different audio tracks from the ones it was supposed to have.

I just checked the course. There were only a few words with missing audio, which I added.
I didn’t find wrong audio. I don’t think the course is good, but it’s the same course “Hacking …” There is a mixing formal with informal.
@witt1031,tell me what do you want to check.
My advice is to not rely too much on this course. I’m learning three languages on memrise now and I know that the “Hacking …” courses are just to give you some impression of the language. Especially the last levels - they contain very complex grammar, it’s not for beginners.

Thanks, I am also trying some others.
I think that others have corrected the wrong audio.
I appreciate your feedback.

Hi, I’ve noticed an error with the audio on this course

In “5 Basic Q&A 1” the audio says “Не ви разбирам” (I don’t understand you) but the text says “Не разбирам” (I don’t understand).

This is on the Cyrillic version of the course; I couldn’t find a separate thread

Hi, thank you for the feedback.
I changed the text and added some details.
This is not my voice (I suppose, I didn’t add audio to the whole course). But I still have an access for editing. If you notice anything else, I’m ready to help.

Thanks that’s great! I’ll let you know if I see anything else

For some reason on this course (the Cyrillic version) when you do a speed review the audio questions where you pick between three options shows up.

I’ve not seen this on other courses because there isn’t usually enough time to listen to all 3 sound clips before the timer hits the top. I’ve attached a screenshot to show what I mean.

Is it possible to make the audio not show up in this way for speed reviews?
