Aristotle Posted February 7, 2006 at 12:32 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 at 12:32 AM I'm currently at the very beginning stage of learning Chinese, and I'm told from all sorts of places that input (i.e. listening to the language) is very important. So, does anyone know of a Chinese webradio that has a lot of talking? To run in the background when doing the dishes and such, just to get a feeling for the sound. The ones I've found so far are very emphasised on music, and that makes it harder to get the "melody" of the language right. Direct links to the .pls (or similiar) would be appreciated. It's difficult to click your way to it on a Chinese webpage when you don't yet know the language... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted February 7, 2006 at 12:41 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 at 12:41 AM Try CRI Newsradio. Even though the page is in Chinese, it's easy to spot the radio streams. One is for realplayer and one is for windows media player, and both links are written in English with a nice little logo next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristotle Posted February 7, 2006 at 12:17 PM Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 at 12:17 PM Wonderful. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomaci Posted February 8, 2006 at 10:01 AM Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 at 10:01 AM I would also recommend Radio Canada internationals radio broadcasts found on this page. They let you download all the previous broadcasts which can be useful if you later on in your studies want to pick up some vocabulary from them. http://www.rcinet.ca/rci/ch/emissions/archives_1410.asp?id=1410&genre=ch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristotle Posted February 8, 2006 at 10:52 AM Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 at 10:52 AM And it's also good for when CRI Newsradio is broadcasting in English, which they did for hours yesterday. Quite annoying... Thanks, once I know enough vocab to understand the jist of it, being able to play it several times will certainly come in handy.

wrwills Posted February 8, 2006 at 08:08 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 at 08:08 PM Thanks for the Radio Canada link. Very useful, esp. as I'm originally Canadian so I can practise my Chinese listening & keep up with the news back home. I found this page to be useful as well: http://www.rcinet.ca/rci/ch/actualite.shtml The news reading in the broadcast pretty much follows the news on that page word for word.

Tyr Posted February 19, 2006 at 04:33 AM Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 at 04:33 AM Can anyone recommend good beginner level webradio/podcasts that have transcripts/translations that I can download? I've found that trying to translate these helps build my vocabulary and listening skills. Having the correct translation available helps me check my translation.
