Colloquial Chinese audio is LEGALLY available for free.

Hello!
While reading language learning articles around the web, I seemed to have stumbled upon the original and the new Colloquial Chinese audio files for free

They seem to be uploaded by the book publisher itself, so this should make downloading the files (legally) possible 

 

Colloquial Chinese mp3 download (yes, that includes all versions!! Old school T'ung & Pollard as well as the new ones)

My favorite Chinese learning book besides Assimil Chinese with Ease.

The new colloquial Chinese. I haven't read it, but the audio is available on the first link by the own publisher.

Enjoy =-)

You'll be able to find Cantonese audio files and...Tibetan (anyone interested?), as well as many of their languages audio material they've published.

Ooh, great find, Pokarface! That's saved me quite a lot of work (I was going to back up my old T'ung & Pollard audio from a tape n MD to my PC finally, and convert to mp3 format, but the quality wouldn't've been as good as that website's, as I'd've been using just the mic jack and Windows Sound Recorder or whatever basic stuff to do it!). You're a star! Have an upvote from me.

Thanks, Pokarface - I didn't notice the T'ung and Pollard tab at first.
