if you enjoy reading books in English… try listening at the same time with Audible
November 25, 2007 | Advanced mp3 / audio | Leave a Comment
Audible.com is a huge online bookstore - but it only sells audiobooks. What you’ll find there is a wide variety of books, including bestsellers like Da Vinci code, Blink and Harry Potter and much more. You can even subscribe to the audio versions of magazines such as Harvard Business Review.
Prices vary with each book but if your intention is tobe a regular customer, an Audible membership would be a nice choice. Basic membership costs less then ten dollars a month and it will give you a discount on each book purchased. After you buy for the first time, download Audible’s software to your computer to listen on the spot, or transfer the files to a player.
If you’re an advanced English student, try buying both the print (somewhere else) and audio versions, so you can listen while you read. Highly recommended!

Everyday English Conversation: audio dialogues
November 24, 2007 | Intermediate mp3 / audio | Leave a Comment
FocusEnglish.com offers Everyday English in Conversation: several dialogues with audio sorted into useful topics such as ‘communication’, ‘traffic’, ‘travel’ and more.
Students can listen to the conversations as many times as they want, but lesson formats may vary: some (like the telephone lessons) are followed by comprehension exercises; while other lessons have no exercises but include audio files for each sentence.
The conversations are presented at a higher speed than what you´ll usually find in English books, but all of them come with transcripts - great for getting used to native speech.
Recommended for intermediate-level students.
