has all the content you are looking for, but it could be a start.

I do not understand why there does not exist a massive "USA learns" portal
with content on all possible subjects, consisting of stories, radio drama,
children's stories, literature, history, cooking recipes,interviews, factual
articles, professional content, grammar explanations, pronunciation guides
etc., all with sound and transcript, and all available for free download and
free distribution. This would enable immigrants and others to find content
that is relevant. Teachers could use it or learners could access it on their
own.
What is more, many English speakers could tell their own stories from
various walks of life, and help their fellow citizens.
One such source of free content is The
Linguist<<A href="http://www.thelinguist.com/en/en/library/>website" target=_blank>http://www.thelinguist.com/en/en/library/>website</A>. This is
just a start. It could be much larger and better. But it
should remain free, free to use, to download and to share with whomever.
As I have said before, the same could be done for Spanish and other
languages, giving the immigrants a chance to give back.
The key is choice. Relevance is key.
