Repurposing Eric Curts' reader "The Indestructible Moss Piglet" in Catalan or any other language

Eric Curts has produced a whole series of graded readers for learners of English (25 to date) by giving very detailed instructions to NotebookLM.

You can access them here Control Alt Achieve: Making Graphic Novels with Gemini and NotebookLM

As you will see Eric Curts has produced and shared a wide range of other resources for language learning, but for the moment let me just show you a short extract from the instructions for NotebookLM:

The Indestructible Moss Piglet

---

[COVER PAGE]

• Title: The Indestructible Moss Piglet
• Visual Description: A stunning 16:9 wide composition. A split background: The bottom left is a lush, green, textured moss forest painted in soft gouache strokes. The top right fades into a deep, velvety dark blue space with soft white splatter stars. In the center, bridging both worlds, is Terry the Tardigrade (a chubby, squishy, microscopic water bear, painted in soft pastel teal and mint green with visible brush strokes, eight stubby legs, and a round snout). He looks happy and is floating as if swimming. The title is written in playful, hand-cut paper letters with soft edges.
• Style Note: Soft Gouache & Pastel, textured collage, visible brush strokes, no hard black outlines, dreamy atmosphere.

I’d be interested to know how Gemini can help drafting these very detailed prompts! If you want to see the complete instructions. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aQgasTqUvQGubFJIu-8zVbvCuHWMV7H9k0mUn43EUwk/edit?usp=sharing

Teachers of English are lucky that, as Eric says, there are hundreds of professionally written, illustrated and published readers, but in many less studied languages there are far fewer.

For example, in Catalan, although there are some excellent publishers of graded readers, there are nothing like as many as there are for English. So, I wondered if Eric Curts’  readers could be repurposed for learners of Catalan.

Here is the result of asking NotebookLM (Studio - Slide Deck), “Can you make a version in Catalan? Using the same graphics” It produced a pdf file like the original, but I am sharing it as a 30-second video crediting Eric Curts

Trying to post the downloaded web page from a storyline I pasted the html code for the downloaded webpage into the Html view in Blogger

One of the problems with the app at this stage is that it doesn't have a consistent character on every page.

I think I've seen this scene before, but possibly not with a scientist in it.

And now you see the problem? Umm, the scientist is now a woman.It was a man in both the previous scenes.

It always seems to be pouring with rain outside this cafe.

Trying to post the downloaded web page from a storyline I pasted the html code for the downloaded webpage into the Html view in Blogger I had to remove one parameter: overflow: hidden; This was preventing the page from scrolling

I also changed the colour in the caption to - caption { color: #000000;
