How to Learn 21 Languages with Your iPod

Globe_4We have recently updated our collection of Foreign Language Lesson Podcasts, and it seemed like a good time to highlight some of the latest additions (see below). Overall, the collection now covers 21 different languages and includes 52 individual podcasts. This means that you can learn most any major language you want with the help of your iPod.

As you may already know, this collection can help you learn French, Spanish, German and Italian (click here) as well as English (click here) if you’re part of the 40% of our visitors who come from outside the US. But you can also learn a much wider range of other languages.

From Europe, we now put you in a position to learn some Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Irish, Russian, Swedish, and even the language that once dominated the continent long ago, Latin. From the Middle East, we serve you up some Arabic and Hebrew. And from Asia, we give you some Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, some Japanese, Korean, Thai and Hindi. Finally, we also bring you Brazilian Portuguese and even Tagalog, one of the major languages spoken in the Philippines.

You can access the full collection here. Below, we’re listing some of the latest additions.

Arabic

  • The Arabic PodClass Feed Web Site
    • A fledgling podcast that’s worth a look.

Chinese
