For English, Chinese, Arabic, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and French
http://www.nhk.or.jp/rj/index_e.html Includes current news broadcast with verbatim transcripts for English, Chinese, Arabic, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and French (all spoken by native speakers) For Japanese http://news.tbs.co.jp/index-j.htm Japanese news with verbatim transcripts (for kanji, use a service like rikai.com to obtain the readings) For German http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/International/nyhetssidor/index.asp ?nyheter=1&ProgramID=2108 International & Swedish news in German with full transcript (click on "Sendung anhören" for the sound file, and "Nachrichtenseite" for the transcript) For (more) Korean http://news.kbs.co.kr/newsplaza/ Korean Broadcasting with videos and verbatim transcripts (You will need to click on the little buttons with a TV clipart. Note that only the articles with the name of the reporter, ie ...기자, have transcripts) From geranio99: For Russian http://www.gwu.edu/~slavic/webcast/ These webcasts are posted to the web bi-weekly in simplified standard Russian. The news itself is taken from a number of Russian sites, including Lenta.Ru, Vesti.Ru, Ytro.ru and other authentic sites. Apart from the transcripts, you can also find exercises for pre-listening, vocabulary and post-listening support. For Finnish http://www.yle.fi/radiopeili/sivu.php?uname=selkouutiset#sp ecialfinnish Five minute broadcasts which cover items of current interest, in Special Finnish, easy language and slower delivery. ALSO, I am looking for sites with transcripts to news broadcasts (or other materials) in verbatim Swedish. I know that Sverige Television has some videos, but the articles there are not in verbatim so I am usually at a loss watching the videos. If any of you guys know good sites for Swedish news with transcripts and is really to share it, please let me know! Thanks! nhk9 PS If you know any other websites with good sound files in any language, please share with us. Edited by nhk9 on 27 April 2006 at 5:27pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

What's the best way to use these resources? I've seen fanatic mention before that one way he does it, I think a la Assimil, is to simply listen and read along with the text. I've just done this with the Spanish section for the first link, but what skills will this specifically improve?

Well, my purpose in using such resources is to improve Aural Comprehension. The advantage of having an accurate transcript is that it allows you to check any words or phrases that you didn't understand or didn't catch. My goal with such recordings (and I do the same with EuroNews which has the odious Real Audio format) is to understand everything that's being said without the transcript. So I listen to an entire news item along with the transcript looking up anything I'm not sure of then I listen to it again with the transcript, then I listen to it a couple of times concentrating on the speech but with occasional glances at the transcript if required and finally I attempt to listen to the lot a couple of times with no "cheating" at all.

Thanks Andy. The gTranslate Firefox plugin is perfect to use with those transcripts!
