Quality listening resources

Post by joshua2004 » Sun May 01, 2005 3:42 pm

I found an awesome place for online news. This site has a section where they read the news sloooooowllly for people whose first language is not English. Plus, they provide transcripts to follow along with!

I have also been looking for some more sites with online literature with audio, here's what I found:

http://www.repeatafterus.com/contents.php

http://www.antimoon.com/other/shaggydog.htm

If you need to know how to download this audio and save it to your computer, just ask!
I am always looking for new resources. I am also using movie trailers, commercials, and songs. What are you using? Or do you have any other ideas?
