First of all, I AM NOT RELIGIOUS nor I am doing any preaching. Having cleared this up, I'd like to share with you guys this link:
http://www.inspirationalfilms.com/av/watch.html I just came across this website purely by chance looking for a foreign language archive as I wanted to listen to different world languages. I think it is amazing. Think up of a language and I bet it will be there, ready for you to listen to. Isn't it amazing? Enjoy! :D 9 persons have voted this message useful | |

Very impressive archive.
Mezzofanti used the Lord's Prayer as a reference to learn languages and it would be interesting if this could be such a source. It is a shame that it isn't also structured to provide the text. The Chomula sounds correct and I'm glad to see the Ladakhi but would have liked to see a readable element. Such effort and the focus on religion is such that it does not really motivate me, I'd watch it many times as a language source if it had been thought that way with a trascription, for example. As it is, I'm not likely to spend a lot of time. But maybe a click here and there to listen to the lovely sound of certain languages. Good find!

This really is an amazing resource.
I'm not a religious person at all, but since my grandfather was a pastor, the stories are certainly familiar enough to me. I can definitely find some use for this. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Very nice, but for German I'd rather recommend watching the dubbed versions of Religulous or The Life of Brian. The latter will even teach you a little Latin grammar. Edited by Doitsujin on 09 February 2012 at 6:17pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

In case others did not notice, there is also a children's version of the film, which I assume would use simpler language, besides children being the protaganists.
It's unfortunate more of the films aren't captioned, but from what I understand this is an ongoing project, so maybe they'll add more captioning in the future. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks.
I am positively shocked by the amount of the languages. Blackfoot? Zhuang? Really cool. 1 person has voted this message useful |
