Dear list, I thought I share my newest hobby using the Freerunner. I downloaded lyrics to my musics automatically[1], and when I listen to the music, I mark the words, which I dont know, and later I download them from wiktionary.com with the pronounced .ogg file. And I put them into a 'dict' directory like: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15122 Sep 3 18:41 assured.ogg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 368 Sep 3 18:44 assured.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12086 Sep 3 18:41 hound.ogg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1464 Sep 3 18:41 hound.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12443 Sep 3 18:41 possession.ogg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 316 Sep 3 18:41 possession.txt
For learning the vocabulary, I select the 'dict' folder from the folders/playlist, and I hear again, and again the words until I memorized enough. In the lyrics view I have the definition of all words. Later, when I learned more or less the words, I put newlines into the definition, so I only see the word (what is pronounced), but I need to scroll for the definition. Thats way I only check the words, which I forgot. I think Freerunner became an ideal language learning platform. c_c wrote: > Can you send me a link - or put up the script on Intone's wiki page. Th > should help people. Ok, here is my quick&dirty script. Feel free to contribute, and make the script better. It works for me(TM). It has problems, if the lyrics contain utf8 char (example: dash), it fails to download. It happened 12 times from 500 music files. So I didnt care to fix it. 1. Download lyric: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lyricwiki/0.1.9 2. Put into a dir and make the 'lyrics_downloader' variable accordingly. 3. Save the script into the same dir as your downloadable music files are. call the script with no argument. Hope it is useful to someone.
