How do I find volunteers to help make English-language recordings?

I'm volunteer teaching English to a Chinese couple and need audio recordings in English of everyday activities. My students need to hear the language as we use it. What would be a good and effective way of finding volunteers for making recordings?

    The first place to look would be among your own friends and family. If you only need the recordings done in English, then it should be pretty easy to guilt-trip a few volunteers into helping you. :) If that doesn't work, try checking around your community for any organizations that often need volunteers and see if they have any volunteers that they could recommend to you.

    You could also try using movie clips as well as audio recordings. Sometimes seeing the action on the screen helps promote learning. Try searching YouTube for short clips of people having everyday conversations.

    Good luck to you and your students!

    I believe your wording is fallacious.. Contagious.. Definition: [adjective] of or in the case of communicable illnesses; "through the street to the contagious clinic" [adjective] conveniently subtle or unfold as from one individual to one other; "a contagious grin" [adjective] (of ailment) ready of being transmitted through contamination The English language is under no circumstances contagious.. However, form possibly (for individuals who already talk it) As in Text talk.. road talk.. North south devide.. accessory and many others. But in phrases of the precise language.. no it isn't.. men and women do not immediately begin speaking english on account that they've spoke to anyone who does.. they talk it as this can be a Global language because of submit Inustrial Britain enlarging it is empire and is now the main language of Planet Earth.

    A great place to look is a local voiceover or acting organization. People in those activities are always looking to hone their skills, and this is a great way for them to do that.
