Hi! Well i don't know how advanced you are in the language but i have this book that came with a bunch of conversations and i got a copy of the CDs :D so i listen to those to keep my memory fresh since i am not currently taking any classes. They are basic conversations. I guess i can try ripping some of them and uploading them for you. Or you can go here and they have audio too! :D

[suketeru]

Thanks for the tip! Those sentences look good. Are the conversations you have similar in level to them?

I'll ask if that kind of thing is ok first. Don't want to trouble you with ripping if what's being looked for is sth else ^_^;; And generally how long are those conversations? Are they just normal chit-chat?

[slayerizedcarol]

Yes! They are pretty basic like that, and later on the book they get a little bit harder but i can get the simple ones :)
I have no problem :) They are a bit long but I want to help you out so I'll try my best! Yeah like the first chapters have simple stuff such as how is the weather, how are you and then it's stuff like oh i went shopping to the mall yesterday let's go shopping together hehe. I scanned some conversations so you can see them a href=http://tinypic.com/m/dmuy48/4>here and here

[suketeru]

Wow thank you for the scans ^__^
Hmm they're probably a little too simple for N4 though >.< For the exam they do things like giving directions, describing people and objects, etc.

I think they're good for N5 though ^__^
Thank you nonetheless. It was really nice of you to do that for me *is touched* <3

Suketeru-chan !! *glomps* How are you, dear?? Aitai ne~ Don't worry about translations, I just care about how you are ! :)

As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, I don't really do listening comprehension other than what you mentioned (dramas, music, etc.). xD Buut, I do have an Audio CD that came with my... um.. *in a small voice* Japanese for Dummies book.... *is shot* And I do have other audio CDs as well that are more comprehensive (even though the Dummies book kind of covers it all), lol.

Do you need help with practicing listening or is it material you need ? I'm slightly confused, O.o

Hope I can help and that you're well dear ! *praying for suketeru-chan's safety & sanity* xD

desho~ drama and music can be of great help while having fun ^^

Does that Dummies CD contain sentences only or conversations as well? What level more or less are they? Like what sort of convos?

Ah it's not for me. My sensei asked me for help with the listening comprehension for her students who are taking the N4 this Dec. They don't have much time to practice a lot in class, so she probably wants to give them some online material they can practice with at home ^^

A~ Sou ka~ I don't know if it's available online, but the CD contains dialogues that are included in the book (and the dialogues are pretty extensive, ranging from basic phrases to being in the hospital and explaining car accident pains, lol). It actually really helped me learn more Japanese and it's probably really beneficial to anyone wanting to travel and live there for a long time. (Although I should probably review it, lol).

Hope you're well, dear (and that I helped of course)~ Ja ne~ ♥

Is it too much trouble to ask if you could write me one of those more extensive convos to try and understand what level they are? ^^;;
