NHK World News Japanese

From this site, learners can listen to the latest Japanese news released by NHK, the Japanese state broadcasting company. Even though this is not particularly designed for learners of Japanese as a foreign language, the Japanese is very clear and the speaking is relatively slow, so it is recommended for advanced learners who would like to improve their listening comprehension. As it is streaming, learners can pause or repeat the audio when they want.
