mL-R multilingul LISTENING-reading
http://users.bestweb.net/~siom/martian_mountain/mL-R/
For people who like learning multiple languages at a time.
It was a hobby of mine for some fifty years.
The materials have their drawbacks, of course, nothing is perfect under the sun, the Almighty Amaterasu included.
I haven't found anything better so far, unfortunately.
1. book2 - 40 something languages, Japanese, Mandarin, Korean included.
2. JW books - texts and parallel texts (Japanese and Mandarin included).
These are worth trying:
My Book of Bible Sotries
Learn from the Great Teacher
The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived
The corresponding audiobooks, if available, are to be found here:
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/
Some more systematic notes about L-R (Listening-Reading system) and language learning I wrote some twenty years ago.
They are in Polish, might come handy for someone who knows the language.
