Finally found a place to listen to Northanger Abbey in translation (https://www.lrts.me/album/575990). Jane Austen books in translation, continued.

More of Pride & Prejudice, read aloud. The woman reading is very expressive for the voices of different characters - really nicely done. https://youtu.be/9caB9FUA0kc

Pride & Prejudice audio; vlog from a Chinese family

Ah Q audiobook

Started listening to "Pride & Prejudice" in Chinese in preparation for an online Jane Austen book club. Here's part 1: https://youtu.be/9caB9FUA0kc Case in point for knowing the story very well making it easy to understand! I've read 3 Jane Austen novels in Chinese, & I'm sure that prior reading helps, too.

Chinese church and listening to part of Ah Q on the drive. Ch. 1 of Ah Q was easier than the foreword, and the Librivox volunteer who recorded the audio has a great style and voice.

Found some audio-only podcasts. One for young children of Chinese parents living outside of a Chinese language context was interesting, both for how children are spoken to & what the podcast 'teaches'. There is some direct instruction about vocabulary (more specialized terms & chengyu, it seems) & some about life in different places in the world. I learned about pollen in Japan in April! Seems it's not being produced anymore, but there are a lot of old episodes. https://anchor.fm/s/270250e0/podcast/rss

Listening to audio book of Ah Q (by Lu Xun). I think this one might be better as a listen & read for me - or a slower pace. With no visual cues I found it a bit tough. I'll try again.

Olle recommended this channel for advanced listening -- it is cool! Nice variety of topics & I can listen without having to follow visually (so can multitask). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv-Zrdyj04Y

Various videos

Audio-only dramatic retelling & commentary on Agatha Christie mysteries: https://youtu.be/tf_AnEysU4g Something cool about these is that the creator adds explanation of Chinese culturally less familiar points (in this one, for example, noting that sunbathing to get a tan was a valued look for a European woman in the story). So, his retelling gives a Chinese perspective on reading Agatha Christie.
