My ReadingsI have recorded these files using Real Producer. It's the only program I've come across that keeps the bytes down to a manageable up/download level for people like me who have to make do with a slow modem connection.
If you haven't got RealPlayer installed on your machine, go over to Real.com and download their free version. Or go over here and download an older version, real8 for instance, smaller download, less hassle from pop-ups. Adjusting Sound: You can also adjust the sound by clicking the little loudspeaker on the RealPlayer control panel and by sliding the little bar up or down as required. Note that according to the version of RealPlayer you're using, the controls are in different places. But there always is a little loudspeaker and a little sliding bar you can play with. If you want to re-listen to a word or phrase, just use your mouse on either the back sign next to the control panel (if there is one), or on the moving bar inside the panel. With a bit of practice you should be able to replay any section you want as often as you like. WordsClick here for the reading of words in lesson 1a, including the following extra ones.
