Here's the current completed collection of dialog:

To download the current full spoken Na'vi collection click here: http://www.archive.org/download/NaviWords/SpokenNavi.zip

Also, I've created a Na'vi only version of the words (no English) which can be downloaded here: http://www.archive.org/download/NaviWordsnoEnglish/SpokennavinaviOnly.zip

You can also access individual words using the page (useful if you want to make a link to just a single word):
Code:
http://www.archive.org/details/NaviWordsnoEnglish

(I had to use the code command on the link because for some reason the forum keeps auto correcting it to a different URL)

New batches of dialog will be posted in this thread for pronunciation review. You may use these files for whatever you wish, just please give credit to Ftiafpi (Ian Riley).

Original Post:

So, I want something Na'vi related to listen to on my 50 minute car ride to and from work. I figured other people would want some too and I figured having every Na'vi word in a spoken dialog form would be very useful.

So, my plan is to record a small selection of words, saying first the English word, then the Na'vi word, and record each one in a separate mp3 file. I would then host these somewhere online for you guys to peer review the pronunciation and then, once reviewed, I would post these somewhere, like to the talknavi site or somewhere on here.

This way, people could load these onto an mp3 player and just listen to them on random. They could see the spelling too since I would put the Na'vi word into the title with the English word in the artist.

Obviously this is a huge undertaking so I wouldn't be able to do it without a lot of cross checking and probably a few more dialog recorders.

Thoughts?

I think this will be very useful since most of the "projects" designed to help require the computer and reading the flashcards 'n stuff.

Listening to some dialog/pronounciation/vocabulary, I find will be very useful since we can take it on the go.

I'll be patiently waiting for your results.

Obviously this is a huge undertaking
If someone's feeling really ambitious they could go one step further and make a voice for the Festival speech synthesiser. If done well that would be absolutely awesome, and worth paying money for.

Not really sure what that is but, yes, that is one idea I had where someone could take this collection of mp3's and use them in a Na'vi speech synthesizer.

So, after listening to these myself, it seems like it would be more useful to put the English word after the Na'vi word. Would you guys like this better or do you prefer it this way, or do you think I should do both before and after.

I think the before and after would be optimal, but if you don't have the time for that, English first. Since it gives us an English word we already know to link it to.
