Magnuson" <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Re: #6354 Spanish VideoLinguist ------------------ Judi, Although the product is more oriented toward those studying Spanish phonetics, there is a CD authored by Patricia Lunn of Mich State called Pronunciación y fonética (v. 2.0) which has lots of good practice. According to the product description, it is a cross-platform multimedia program of interactive lessons to be used to teach pronunciation or by more advanced students working on their own. There is an overview of dialects and phonetic concepts, basic Spanish text, ear training practice, and oral practice. It goes on to say that there is also "hidden" advanced info for those wanting that. No knowledge of linguistics is necessary to utilize and benefit from the lessons. It is distributed by the Instr Media Ctr, Mktg Div, Mich State U, PO Box 710, E Lansing MI 48826-0710 ph 517-353-9229 It has a 1999 copyright. You might want to check this out as I do not know how well it might run under the system you are using.
