Merci beacoup
You're so kind ! I would be glad if someone did the same cor chinese ...
Cool, thanks for sharing, I've already known some.
On the francaisfacile site, there is a section for learning pronunciation:
http://www.francaisfacile.com/cours/cours-fle.php
It's under "cours pour grands debutants".
I asked italki if they would make a section for language resources because it is a common question in the discussion, but the discussions quickly get lost.
As for Chinese, not my area, but there must be sites like this.
