So, I found this wonderful website. Ever wanted to learn a language, but don't really have time? Have an iPod??? I DO!!!! Even if you don't, you can do all this online as well.
So what language do you want to learn? Spanish? French? Italian? German?? Well, I just found this podcast / website, and it's wonderful. I'm using it with my Spanish class, and it's called Coffee Break Spanish. Otherwise, the website is called Radio Lingua, and you can choose your language and then scroll down to access the "Free Audio Files". They're great. You can listen to them right there on the website, or download them to the computer. You can also find it on iTunes. Search "Coffee Break Spanish" in the iTunes store and subscribe for free to the podcast. That way, you can download them to your iPod and listen to them as you go.
They're great. It's not perfect, and you might find you have some questions here and there, but they have different extras you can pay for to supplement the audio files, but, for the most part, they're great. And they really focus on "survival" in the country. They jump right in with how to start talking and how to make basic conversation and ask for things. It's great. The two running the Spanish program are from Glasgow, Scotland, so if you're not familiar with the accent it might take the first few to grow accustomed to the accent, but it's a great resource to either catch up on what you know, take a "crash course" before traveling somewhere, or just see what the language is like.
Happy listening. Grab a friend. Practice together. !BUENA SUERTE!
