你们好

Are there any PDF file texts/textbooks 课本/课文 for learning Chinese Dialects 中国方言?

Do such things exist for download from online?

I am also interested in Chinese audio-texts/stories/dialogues (as well as podcasts) for various Chinese Dialects, ie. Shanghainese 上海话, Taiwanese 台语 (闽南语), Fuzhouhua 福州话, Hakka (Kejia) 客家, etc. any of them for free download would be ideal (mp3 format would be best).

Is there any audio podcast recordings of various Chinese Dialects, I want to hear some more spoken non-Mandarin Chinese varieties that are downloadable for free.

However, to keep up with my study of Mandarin 普通话, I know there is such thing a Chinese Podcast for free online, but is there any audio-texts available too?

谢谢您

In the Chinese language section in Beijing's Xidan bookstore, I've seen a Hakka dictionaries. It's not really something you can learn from... It's a long long lists of Hakka words and their equivalent in Chinese, and vice versa (as far as I remember), with a word written in international pronunciation alphabet next to it to explain how to pronunce it. It seems to be more for linguists then for someone who wants to learn Hakka.

But googling it gives a lot of results, why don't you try online learning?

There are others, too.
