 Re: Conversations - Listening Activities
At the most basic level, you can use Windows Recorder to record audio files for your students. But there isn't much versatility, nor editing features, which you will eventually want.
I got most of my information from the below sites at the initial stages. The tutorials are fairly easy, assuming you have the time and the patience to make a few mistakes. Exactly as the site recommends, I downloaded Audacity to record all my audio. If I speak too softly, am not clear, get a frog in my throat--whatever--I just re-read the section, and then later edit out the problem. I can change volume and speed, too. Although the whole process becomes pretty simple once you get the hang of it, expect to spend a solid afternoon tinkering with the software. When recording your files, you will want to consider clarity as well as file size.

Good luck.
