Maybe you can use your computer to read text aloud. I can use mine (Mac OS X). I think Windows will do this, too. It is not perfect, but it is pretty good.

It's a fair question - however, I'm not sure how well it works here on italki. It's possible if you message people directly (you'll see a little "microphone" icon at the bottom of the page). I can recommend www.rhinospike.com if you have your own texts already. If you're happy to follow a native speaker reading a text, then there are two other useful websites, which use recent news: www.newsinlevels.com www.breakingnewsenglish.com

who is he he is .... and you want say something ?
