In case anyone is interested, there are two good, on-line resources for listening and reading Portuguese from Portugal. História do dia is from Sapo kids and has, as the name implies, an audio story with text every day at a beginner's level. 12 months of stories are available on the archive. To download the audio with Mozilla Firefox "ctrl u" to view "page source" then "ctrl f" and enter "mp3" and then search. You'll be looking for a link that is something like this
"http://imgs.sapo.pt/kids/kidspt2009/content/55125370448069h istory_0301.mp3". Just copy and paste it into a new tab and then save page as mp3. Another brilliant resource is the Biblioteca Digital Camões. Their section of children's histories has several audio/flash books available telling the history of Portugal and the great explorers and discoveries of Portugal's "golden age": Secção Infantil The stories are high quality and, for me, interesting reading about the age of Portuguese discovery. I'm studying Brazilian Portuguese so, the accent is a bit difficult for me to follow but, I am enjoying the stories. When, I was learning Spanish, I tried to avoid peninsular Spanish at all costs and that was a mistake. There is a lot of really wonderful content available from Spain that I would've missed out on had I not made the effort to acclimate my self to Castillian. I love RNE, Pedro Almodóvar, flamenco guitar music and especially listening to Radio 3 whilst I work. So, I don't want to make the same mistake with Portuguese. I will still concentrate on the Brazilian variety but I won't ignore the Iberian. Edited by iguanamon on 01 March 2011 at 10:18pm 15 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Note that although that site is up, the content behind it has moved. I've traced it to http://kids.sapo.ao/brincar/historias/historia_do_dia/ 3 persons have voted this message useful |
