I'm not 100% sure that this hasn't been mentioned here yet:
http://134.2.2.16:8080/backbone-search/faces/initialize.jsp It includes various interviews (video & audio) with transcripts in English, French, German, Spanish, Turkish and Polish (plus only two in Modern Greek). I've listened to the Polish ones and they sound very natural. The project itself (Pedagogic Corpora for Content & Language Integrated Learning) is also interesting.

Thank you Julie.
Each interview has - a video - an audio - a transcript What is the best way to get the most benefit from listening to these interviews? I tried watching a video straight off, and it was hard. Would it be better to listen to the audio first? Or read the transcript before listening? What do people think?

I don't think listening to the audio will be easier than watching the video: usually it
is easier to understand something if we see the speaker (or at least that's how it works for me). I haven't used these interviews yet but I usually like to watch a video/listen to the audio straight of, just to train my listening comprehension of unknown texts, and then I either read the transcript or watch the video again / listen to the audio while following the transcript. If I read the transcript first, I feel like I'm wasting precious listening material - but that's just me ;). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I agree.
Reading the transcript first is a bit counter-productive. In my listening excercises on Busuu, I usually: 1. Listen to the complete audio straight through. 2. Listen again, using the pause button, and try to write down what I hear. 3. Repeat step 2 as necessary (depends on length / complexity of the audio). 4. Not sure. I may read the transcript seperately or at the same time as listening to the audio. Writing things down may not be necessary, and takes longer, so I may not bother. Or only do it on occasion. I'm still trying to find out what is both practical and beneficial for me. Whenever I watch videos, especially if they are dramas, I get easily distracted. Sometimes I deliberately close my eyes to let my ears do all the work. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

You can watch the video in small chunks. Just watch as long as you can without getting tired, even if it's just some 2-3 min. take a break, rewind some 30 sec to refresh what you've already seen and then continue, once again just a few mins. (I don't know how long the videos are)
Thanks for the link!!! Yet another fantastic resource for Spanish that doesn't exist for Italian/Portuguese... 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I was wondering if they have any recs/instructions on how to use the videos (especially in class! yikes probably making a wordlist, discussing the topic, watching, answering questions, watching again and retelling/discussing more), and I found this link to another corpus project: sacodeyl. No Polish, but they offer Italian and Romanian. And they have "exercise packages" grouped by "module", with the level, topics, grammar listed for each video. The packages page is easier to navigate than the list of videos.
Oh and it's teenagers only, it seems. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
