Hello,
I am at the point where I can read Spanish fairly well, but my auditory comprehension is lagging far behind. Passages that I can read fairly easily are very difficult for me to comprehend if I hear them spoken. I would like to find some Spanish audio with accompanying transcriptions. I toyed with the idea downloading news stories and running them through a text to speech that can pronounce Spanish, but I don't know if it would be good enough to be useful for me at all. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

One thing is to find books that are available in English and Spanish and in an unabridged Spanish Audio book
form. Then you can do Listen-Read style studying (also this is good for shadowing to work on your accent). You may also find the Puerto del Sol Audio magazine here to be useful. Another possible resource is los mas TV available here Spanishpod and Notesfromspain also have some good resources that might be of interest Since you live in the U.S., you can watch Destinos for free online (transcripts may be available on the web if you search) hope that helps :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

scola.org has exactly what you are looking for: news broadcasts that you can download, along with bilingual transcripts. There are many languages available, including Spanish.
The downside is that you need a login and password - but a simple google search should find some that you can "reuse". 1 person has voted this message useful |
