A technical problem. Do you manage to download the Japanese ones? I tried but was not able. The file extension is unknown. Do I need a special software to read those files? Or shall I convert them somehow?
Someone who was able to listen to those files, please help! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This site offers some Persian material averaging 20 minutes long or so for adults and also has (more) stories for children. Best part though is that it's from my school! :)
I'm sure there are better sites out there for audiobooks in Persian but I'll have to ask around later. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks. I can download them too now. Apparently my search engine had blocked all the downloads.
It's a vast selection. I'd like to know from students of Japanese out there which they have chosen to study and why. What are you preferences? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This site appears to contain dozens of Portuguese audiobooks + accompanying texts.
If anyone finds a French version of Alice in Wonderland, please let me know. I loved the Spanish version linked to on the first page. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

He, he.
I like the idea. To download ra files (ram is a text file containing the url of the audio file) and SAVE them to you PC you might want to use STREAMBOX VCR, a very handy proggy. SREAMBOX RIPPER can change the ra audio to wav or mp3. I have parallel texts of Alice in Wonderland in English-French-Russian-Polish-Spanish-Italian-German. I made them years ago when I was working on a method of learning a few languages at a time. I do not remember if I proofread them all properly. Alice is one of my favourite books (a must for every mathematician, by the way), I once translated it literally into Polish and made grammatical codes, an excellent tool for complete beginners learning English, but you'd have to be a fluent speaker of Polish to appreciate it fully. Rai books in Italian are abridged, with annoying music, but it is better than nothing. Some time ago I made a parallel text of Il gattopardo by Lampedusa in Italian-Polish and marked all the recorded passages. I have parallel texts of the book in English-Polish, too. You can get plenty of unabridged audiobooks in Russian at ozon.ru, they are very cheap. Edited by siomotteikiru on 08 July 2007 at 11:17am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||
