Catalog of Spanish Voices

First, let me say again, that I love Twitter. Why? Because that’s how I ran across this site Catálogo de voces hispánicas from the Centro Virtual Cervantes. Thanks to Deborah from @bilingualparent for tweeting it!

You’ll find a list of countries with links to various cities within each country. Once you make a selection, then you’re taken to a page with a video of a person from that area speaking. You’ll also find the linguistic characteristics, a transcription of the video and more information about the location including a map.

I can’t wait to explore this site!

Yes, this is quite a comprehensive resource that they've put together. I think I heard about this around the same time on Twitter and wanted to do a blog entry about it but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I love having the videos so you can see the speaker and get even more of a feel for the person behind the voice. Also mighty nice that they have transcripts available for listeners.
