I actually hate their accents on chinesepod, the writing is fun on some of their dialogues but they dont speak what i think of as 纯普通话。

Your topic has really intrigued me! I recorded about five minutes from a Danish (my target language) spoken interview. I recognized the difference between language course texts, Danish audiobooks and this "realtime" spoken dialog and I am absolutely convinced about the advantages. So among my ususal other studies I will learn this dialog by heart, as you mentioned both in terms of content and in terms of pronunciation and intonation. I am looking forward to next week, when I'll get the transcription. Thanks for the wonderful idea! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

When I did some work on my accent last fall I used on of the podcasts on this site. These are podcasts on various topics done by a fast talking beijinger and since I am pretty partial to the beijing accent myself I chose one of them for memorization. Transcripts of some of the podcasts can be found here. Look for blogentries prefixed with 有一说二 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't really memorize long texts but I have found it very usefull to remember some dialogues from Platiquemos and other resources (also picking up sentences from Maria). Knowing a few sentences is very handy to remember words and expressions. I agree that having a few good texts as examples is a good base from where you can start to build your own correct sentences. And when you know a lot of sample sentences, you can often simply use those instead of creating your own. (Of course that should not be an excuse not to learn how to build your own sentences :) Edited by tuffy on 20 August 2007 at 9:40am 1 person has voted this message useful |
