Easy but authentic Chinese texts
The beginnings of a collection of links to authentic Chinese-language texts for children.
The Chinese-language broadcasts of Radio Canada International are available for RealAudio; they seem clearer and easier to understand than the Voice of America broadcasts mentioned below.
The China Times (Zhong1guo2 Shi2bao4)
A leading newspaper in Taiwan, traditional characters; a graphics-only version is available (no Chinese software needed).
The People's Daily (Ren2min2 Ri4bao4)
Simplified characters; Chinese software needed.
The Chinese Language Related Information Page
A large list of links to Chinese resources.
The Voice of America Internet Audio Page
Listen to the VOA's Chinese-language broadcasts with RealAudio (telephone-line quality), or download (large) audio files for listening off-line (FM-radio quality).
Voice of America Chinese Radio Scripts
Text files of VOA radio scripts, in simplified characters--GB (Guo2jia1 Biao1zhun3 'national standard') code. Your computer needs to be able to display Chinese characters with GB code; or use the Macintoshes at our Language Resource Center.
The "Profound Mystery" project (Ao4mi4 Gong1cheng2): a project to provide informative Chinese-language reading materials on the Web, for Chinese children. The language is somewhat easier than in materials written for adults. A graphic version is available (in simplified characters) for those without Chinese-language software.
