The four skills to learning a new language
Listening: Are you a music lover? If so, why not listen to
recordings you enjoy. It's a fabulous way to learn. There's
something about songs and memory isn't there?
Speaking: We are all different but many adult learners feel too
embarrassed to speak aloud in class. If you're unable or unwilling,
try mouthing the words or expressions.
Reading: For many people, reading is learning. For most people
learning is reading but in language learning, reading has to be
balanced with the other three language skills. Why not read aloud? A
great way to learn is listening to the language and reading at the
same time.
Writing: This is the fourth and last of the skills. A way of
learning a word or expression, of making it your own. It can remain
foreign to us until we write it in our notebooks.
A commitment toward learning a language will mean that you will make
the time to study which for many people involves sitting at a table
and covering the four skills in a systematic way.

Kieth, that sounds tremendous. I followed the link. I could not find any stories that could be clicked for audio. I looked all over for a spot where you register a username and password, it says right next to it that it is free, but could not get to a page where you actually do that. They offer subscriptions for 20 euro/month or 130 euro/year, and they offer some sort of free trial, but I tried to fill out the forms to do that and was not successful. Also, the subscription is apparently for a single city that you have to choose. None of the cities offered looked interesting.keithatengagedthinking wrote:The newspaper, Il Resto di Carlino, has most of their newspaper articles in vocal form. On the top of each page, you can just click on it and read along with the voice or practice without, seeing how many words you can identify.
Click here for the link!
Can you offer any guidance?
Per piacere, correggete i miei errori in italiano. Grazie mille in anticipo.

I never noticed this reply.
Unfortunately, Il Resto di Carlino has deactivated this on their web site recently. However, there are a few other newspapers that do use this service. I will find them and locate the sites and post them here.
Thanks.

I found it!
Adnkrono/IGN offer this service now.
You can see it offered on this article below:
http://www.adnkronos.com/IGN/Politica/? ... 1487674596
Click on the link that says 'Ascolta' and a pop-box opens up with the audio player. It usually starts on its own accord after a few moments. I listened to the article - it sounds a bit artificial at times, but in my opinion, it works well.

ho guardato anche io un po' per la rete e ho trovato questo:
http://www.rtsi.ch/
si tratta del sito della Radio Televisione Svizzera in lingua italiana, e c'è la possibilità di ascoltare alcuni programmi
http://www.rtsi.ch/pinocchio/welcome.cf ... iamato=yes
questo è "Pinocchio" ascoltabile e narrato da una compagnia teatrale di lingua italiana.
C'è anche questo: http://www.international.rai.it/ ci sono sopratutto notizie, ma per ascoltare la lingua va benissimo.

From Josh dmj120:
http://www.iluss.it/il_student_eng.html
ILUSS - LEARN ITALIAN ONLINE, a nonprofit organization which promotes the Italian language and culture abroad, is a convenient, useful resource for students, schools, colleges, universities, libraries and teachers worldwide.....
For students its 36Euro annual, which i think is about 53 USD.
Another site with a lot of information that I found is http://www.locuta.com/
unless I overlooked it in the previous posts; http://www.ielanguages.com/italian.html is an awesome site!!! So far looks very well organized.
Many of these lists will be added into my PDA's flashcard program
