Free Foreign Language Lessons For your I-Pod
Good Morning Everyone, I am very happy to share with you all a new website for downloading free foreign language lessons. First, a special thanks must go out to my reader Poliglotismos. He first published this website in one of his blogs. I went to the website and downloaded three languages. Swedish is one of the languages I would like to learn, so it was one of the first set of audio lessons I collected. Second was Chinese. The third lesson is Albanian. You can listen to three short lessons: Swedish, Albanian, and Chinese. I did this to give you an example of what we have on the website, and what you can chose from.
At the end of the blog, I post some language programs which you must pay for. As you know - I believe in making the Free stuff and the Payed Stuff available to my readers. Remember - we need to invest in several different programs when learning another language. There is never any one program that will do the trick.
The Website is HERE. Enjoy the videos language lovers.

The French Trolling Each Other on Yahoo News.fr
Yahoo France - Another Massacre in Syria. After learning about yet another bloody massacre in Syria I decided to check out the French reports. I do not always trust American media. When I get my news, I like to take a look at different sources from nations with different agendas. I found from the French media coverage that they too think that the Assad government is responsible for these atrocities.
LIVING LANGUAGE - MANDARIN CHINESE I
Students of Indo-European language often say, that if they are going to learn another language, they would like to learn Chinese. It is one of the most spoken, and certainly one of the most useful languages on earth.
I think that this will be one of the most difficult journeys I have ever been on. It is going to take me many years to be fluent in Chinese. With the two babies, I will not have time to study at home. So, my solution is very simple. I am going to take it slowly.

In an effort to squeeze
in a little more language learning time, I downloaded many of my Pimsleur
lessons into my I-Pod. I listen to them when I walk to campus, the bus or just
take one of the babies out for a walk. I also listen to these lessons when I am
working out in the gym. When you are short on time, you must think of creative
ways of utilizing your time.
If you are not
familiar with the Pimsleur method, it is an organic language learning method. I
will get into it a little more in another post.
So, on my I-pod I
have Korean, Chinese, Italian and Russian. The Italian lessons are too easy, I
will be deleting them and looking for something more advanced. Chinese, Korean
and Russian will remain.
Korean is a
beautiful language in my book. Korean is descended from Proto-Korean, Old
Korean, Middle Korean and Modern Korean. There are some arguments as to whether
or not it is an Altaic Language. I think it is a lovely language.
As you read more
of this blog, you will see that I simply included a series of pictures of the
Korean Alphabet and some Korean Words. I know many of you prefer looking at the
images rather than reading my boring language diatribes. :--)
