m-ttl Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Would love to see dictionary recommendations and translation guides for various languages beyond French for Reading and German for Reading. Especially less common languages. Thought we could share our knowledge. ETA For some reason my Chrome was acting up but I recently ordered these for Mandarin Chinese: Introduction to Chinese-English Translation: Key Concepts and Techniques (Chinese Edition) [Paperback] Zinan Ye (Author), Lynette X. Shi (Contributor) Dictionary of Cutlture and Archaelogy: English-Chinese-Chinese-English [Hardcover] A Chinese-English Dictionary of Chinese Culture (English and Chinese Edition) [Paperback] Si Ma De School (Author) An English-Chinese & Chinese-English Dictionary of Art (English and Chinese Edition) [Hardcover] He You (Author) Edited April 8, 2014 by m-ttl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-ttl Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 The religion subforum had a a while back that got a lot of good responses. I actually saw that thread (printed it out for a friend wanting to apply for fall 2015 in religious studies), but I figured there was a value in a thread for people who may not necessarily need to read biblical Akkadian. But there's a variety of other languages I would have liked to seen as well, Japanese, Korean, Classical Chinese, Hindi, Italian, Russian, etc. I hope this isn't too redundant, because a few languages I would expect in Art History (Italian) aren't even listed over there.

ἠφανισμένος Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Oh, I didn't mean to imply that this thread is redundant. I just thought I'd mention it in case people hadn't seen it. Edited April 10, 2014 by Petros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The German for reading http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~rfburger/language/German%20for%20Reading/ file is fantastic. And people should know about it.

febreze Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Is the French for reading a good option? I need to brush up on my French before the start of fall semester... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
