What audio books do ye use for shadowing? Do you have to buy your target language Audio Book, and then buy the book in your native text? Are there parallel text books in audio? i.e Parallel text with the audio of your non-native language.
I'm looking for somthing in Spanish. Edited by Wings on 31 July 2007 at 11:31am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Not exactly the same, but I've seen audiobook packages designed for foreign language learning. They provide an audio CD, a booklet with the exact same text that was spoken and vocabulary annotations (translating difficult words back into your native language) and sometimes there is also a CD-Rom included that allows you to listen to each chapter, read it and look up vocabulary as you go much like wordchamp.

There are also some monthly "audio magazines" that may be worthwhile
(though I haven't tried them yet) http://www.readSpanish.com/audiocds.html and http://www.champs-elysees.com/products/Spanish/product.aspx are two that I've come across so far online :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The "Just Listen 'n' Learn" series by Dover is available in a bunch of languages. I've listened to the Spanish one. It was a 4 cassette course that tell a story. There was a transcription in Spanish. Another book had vocabulary translations in the order you met it in the text. The music was pretty hokey, but I thought overall it was a worthwhile course.
That's what I did. Angels and Daemons by Dan Brown is available unabridged and has a good narrator and an interesting story. There are plenty of audiobooks on the net for free if you're okay with things that were written in the 1800s. 1 person has voted this message useful |
