Language podcasts. Remember that language you were always going to learn? Try it with podcasts. Chinese, French, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Russian and English.

  • Thanks, klue. I just last month found out about chinesepod and was hooked after listening to a few casts. Initially I was impatient and it seemed an inefficient method for getting the information/practice (I'm not a big podcast listener), but it grew on me pretty quick. The Japanese podcasts look interesting, too--I'll check them out in my copious spare time.
  • grrr... gotta get my iPod fixed already...
  • Music videos on youtube or googlevideo are good for this as well, especially if you like the song. Also having Internet radio playing in the background can be helpful.
  • Yeah, chinesepod is great. For the moment, mandarin is all I can tackle. The Greek will have to wait.
  • Where did you find these? I've been looking for a Spanish podcast to brush up while I'm flying.
  • And we all know who coined the term "podcast", don't we? DON'T WE?? /obsessed with this fact for unknown reason
  • I'm too dumb to learn another language.
  • kookywon; the guys behind chinesepod are working on something called spanishpod at the moment. It will probably hit the net before summer.
