Online materials for intermediate and advanced Chinese

[madizi]

There are tons of online materials for beginner Chinese. But I'm on intermediate level (more or less ) and would like to find intermediate and advanced free materials and tools for learning Chinese. Are there any? I'm specially interested in speaking and listening, although would also like to improve reading and writing skills, vocabulary and grammar.

Thank you in advance.

[madizi]

No one.............

Does this silence mean that there aren't ANY resources on internet for intermediate and advance level? Something else?

[geraldc]

If you're at advanced level, I think you just read normal Chinese webpages, rather than look for webpages geared towards learning Chinese.

[madizi]

I am at intermediate level (don't know if it is lower or upper intermediate level). As I indicated above, I am looking for internet resources for speaking and listening. There are many resources for beginners, but (as I know) no resources for intermediate level.

this may be too basic for you, but you can try http://en.chinabroadcast.cn/

check out the radio section, especially "learn chinese now", some of the more advanced lessons may be helpful.. or just listen to Chinese broadcasts and use sites created for chinese speakers like geraldc said

[madizi]

Thanks for link.

You're right, it is too basic for me. I listened to lession 66 and it was about days in a week.

Sometimes I watch CCTV 4 via Internet, but they speak too quick. Is there any listening tool or site where speaker is speaking a little bit slower, but on intermediate (or advanced) level?

i hope this helps.

This is kind of intermediate - maybe still not high enough level for you?

Or, how about some poetry reading, for a bit of variety? ; )

Yea, that's better. Thank you Jo.

I'm very sorry for such long delay (almost one month), but I had to prepare for graduation at theology department.

Well, thanks again to all of you who helped me.

[geek_frappa]

[madizi]

Thank you!!

Here is a link with almost everything worth seeing in Slovenia:

www.burger.si

On the first page you just have to click a title "Utrinki iz Slovenije Slovenia Landmarks" and then choose with pull-down menus what kind of places do you want to see (castles, caves, towns,......). Hope you'll like my country!

[madizi]

Well,... ... , I have more questions for members of this forum.

My friend and I are preparing a kind of Business Chinese textbook for beginners, in Slovenian language (the first textbook of this kind in my language!). We are now in beginning phase of searching all kind materials connected with our work (other textbooks, terminology, useful phrases,...).

Does someone know any useful textbooks in English, German or Chinese? Are there any useful internet resources for this?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

First post from a newcomer. Could anyone point me to a link where it is possible to download the audio for CRI's Learn Chinese Now? It would be really useful to be able to put the m on a portable device, or even on a CD so I could listen to them in the car. On their website I find that I can listen to the files, but I have not been able to download them or save them to disk.

Thank you.
