Free: Learn Foreign Languages in Your Car

Have a bor­ing com­mute? A long road trip com­ing up? Con­sid­er using that time well and learn­ing a lan­guage as you dri­ve. While rum­mag­ing around on Spo­ti­fy (down­load their free soft­ware here), we noticed that they give you free access to the mul­ti-part col­lec­tions: Learn Span­ish in Your Car, Learn French in Your Car, Learn Man­darin in Your Car, Learn Ital­ian in Your Car, Learn Russ­ian in Your Car, and Learn Ger­man in Your Car.

Run­ning 10–14 hours, the col­lec­tions (usu­al­ly retail­ing for $22.95 on Ama­zon) build in dif­fi­cul­ty, mov­ing from “Lev­el 1” to “Lev­el 2” to “Lev­el 3.” We’ve embed­ded the playlists below, and you can always find them list­ed in our col­lec­tion, Learn 45+ Lan­guages Online for Free: Span­ish, Chi­nese, Eng­lish & More.
