Resource: LingNet Materials

LingNet is a website produced and maintained by the Foreign Language Center at DLI. It's packed full of resources. I haven't played with it too much, but I like what I've seen.

Here are a few of the resources I've tried:

phone.lingnet.org has lengthy telephone conversations in dialect. This is one of the best resources I've found for working on my Levantine.

gloss.lingnet.org has a wide selection of passages to practice listening/reading comprehension.

arabicaccents.lingnet.org has 20+ passages. Each passage has ten different recordings in MSA, spoken by Arabs from different regions of the Arab world. This tool allows you to compare and recognize Arabic accents.
