Interesting to see the cafe and the magazine. <BR/><BR/>The website I run called LingQ (www.lingq.com) is intended for second language learners. There are thousands of sound files with transcripts available for free download and distribution. Most people use the site free of charge. I wonder if the site can be useful for literacy learners.<BR/><BR/>Most of our content is provided and or generated by our learners in their native language. I wonder if there is not some way to cooperate in the generation of content. Maybe our learners would record some of your content if they can then import it into the LingQ store for which they earn points in our system. you could then use the sound files. I think the emotional connection to real voices is important to learning.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, please let me know if this is of interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
