[etni] Unseens + llistening

Hi,
I'm sure many of you join me in thanking Phyllis for putting up those wonderful
'unseens' on the ETNI site. We all realize and appreciate the time and effort
that went into preparing the material and thank you for sharing it with us.
One good deed often stimulates another, so I'd like to add my list of listening
comprehension resources for those of you who would like to practice. The first
on the list is probably the most useful because it contains a tremendous number
of listening pieces and is broken down into levels. Some of the other links
might be outdated, but there's still plenty to do. One or two of the very
advanced LC pieces are video interviews and the questions I prepared for them
are just below the links. I hope this material is useful to you. I've been
using it with my classes for the past few years and the kids appreciate the
opportunity to practice at home after one demo lesson in school.
