Hi Everyone!

I've been learning Spanish with MT, Pimsleur and SpanishPOD and just want to adapt the method of alljapaneseallthetime.com for Spanish, cause it sounds quite interesting.

The problem is: Resources. I can find some movies in Spanish, obviously, but let's just say the whole other world for the listening on headphones: Audiobooks, Podcasts or something else? What's there to use?

And I have problems finding a lot of television streams or radio streams... Has anyone of you done something similar and could point me to some resources? It's really frustrating if you want to apply this stuff and you don't have the material :)

¡muchas gracias!

Check out www.rtve.es I think you can watch all their TV shows online. And I think you can watch Band of Brothers on youtube.

Regards,

Does anyone know where I can find transcripts of the dialogue for any Spanish movies or TV that can be found online? The same for Spanish audiobooks; anyone know where I can find a book + the audio recording of it online?

Try:
gutenberg.org
librivox.org
(both only public domain texts, librivox is a project with volunteers who do audio records of public domain texts)

There's also albalearning.com and if you google, you can find a number of blogs with audio recordings, but I don't know if those are public domain (didn't bookmark anything either)

No idea about transcripts, though.

This is a selection which I have saved, although I haven't used many.
Bit Torrents may also help, but you need to find out about these yourself.
Sometimes I have taken the audio from one source and the transcripts, after searching, from another.

FOR LEARNERS:

http://www.spanishpodcast.org/
Pretty good podcasts in Spanish only

http://www.lingus.tv/
Little nice videos for people learning Spanish with grammar and expressions explained for each video. You can
download them and put it in your iPod.


FOR NON-LEARNERS:

http://www.caracol.com.co/
Colombian radio; just click on "en vivo" in the upper right and then "abrir audio". I must admit I can hardly
understand what they say…

http://www.cadenaser.com

http://www.rcinet.ca/rci/es/index.shtml
Definitely my favorite. RCI's radio in Spanish, diffused from Montreal (where I live :)). Really easy to undertsand,
words are really well pronounced. Maybe this doesn't especially interest you as it is a canadian radio but you
might want to give it a try :). If you use iTunes, there's a RSS feed as well.

http://www.elmundo.es/multimedia/seccion/videos.html
News in video in Spanish.

http://es.euronews.net/
European news in Spanish in video too (what's fun with it is that you can change the languages [at the top of the
page, there's a choice of 8 languages] and watch the very same video in various languages with only the audio
changed).


I don't know if you know this website too but there's http://www.offlinereading.com/ which provide free
newspapers around the world in several languages (and in your RSS reader if you want to). I like reading Qué!
Madrid and ADN Barcelona…
