Hello friends of the forum, I am looking for a web page where I could find Modern Greek dialogues such as in audio (mp3) and files in pdf. I tried to find them but it was quite difficult, if somebody could help me, I will appreciate a lot.
I am also looking for files for Russian and Japanese language in Mp3 and PDF.

If this discussion turns into a bootleg supermarket I'll have to shut it down. Thanks.

I reckon the best thing to do is to record off an internet radio broadcast. They often include both monologues and dialogues.

The one that I look for is not simply dialogues, but some free course in format mp3 and pdf, as well as great German course, from D-Welle, or of Polish from polish.slavic.pitt.edu, if somebody knows please help us.    
P.s the one of Russian I've already found, I really need the one of Greek.

You are in luck. Here is a free course (with audio) put out by the government of Cyprus originally (it may still be a Cypriot website--I can't remember).

There are 105 units (each with full audio). The student "notes" section has a transcript, translation, and grammar charts for each lesson.

It's free. However, you have to register. Also, the downloads will probably require high speed internet access. You cannot "record" the sound directly on your laptop in digital form, though I know of students who have recorded from the program broadcast to an analog recording source (e.g., tape deck) to make tapes for when they go outside, drive, etc.

That's the best free internet resource I know of for modern Greek.

For propietary courses, I would try Greeceinprint.com.

That has the best selection of modern Greek materials for English speakers, to my knowledge. There are some sets of dialogues with native speakers for intermediate students that go quite fast.

Just remember to say "Ti kanete" when you meet someone and not "Ti klanete"--a Cypriot once informed me of that important distinction.

JWC, you've forgotten the link to the free Cypriot course.

By the way, what's the difference between the two greetings? Something not very friendly I'd imagine!

Yes, that's it--http://www.kypros.org/LearnGreek/

If you have trouble entering it in, type www.kypros.org and look for a "learnGreek" link on the left side of the page that pops up.

To Patuco: "ti kanete" means "How are you doing?"
             "ti klanete" means "Why are you farting?"

It's good to know the difference when you introduce yourself to people.
