Learn 35+ Languages for Free in iTunes

Learn 35+ Languages for Free in iTunes
I was just browsing iTunes for poignant Morrissey covers when I discovered nearly a thousand free language courses on iTunes. 926 courses to be exact. Holy Moleskine, Batman! The extensive library of courses span over 35 languages, from Arabic to Yiddish. Each course comes as a convenient podcast which you can subscribe and put on your iPod or iPhone. To get the entire list of language learning podcasts, hit the browse button on the lower-right corner of your iTunes window–it’s the icon that looks like an eye. Or you can simply do a search for the language you’re interested in. Here’s a sample list of available languages (with links to iTunes): Don’t forget to check out some of the more unusual podcasts such as: I’ve been teaching myself Brazilian Portuguese with Rosetta Stone, so having access to a free supplemental iTunes podcast is nice. If you liked this post, please share it on del.icio.us. What language have you been itching to learn?

Portuguese What's next? Erin Edwards asked me to expand on this from my post about revising: "Am I leading the reader along properly so that what happens is neither predictable nor too far fetched to believe?" Erin added, "I think this takes real skill and is ultimately what makes a book satisfying." Predictability happens to be timely for me right now. I just (ten minutes ago) emailed my mystery novel to my editor, who hasn’t seen a word of it. So I’m wondering if my villain is going to be instantly obvious. Of course I want his or her identity to be a surprise, but I’m willing to put up with other writers’ predictability in some cases. Readers of my fiction come to it expecting an ending that won’t leave them feeling hopeless. For tellers of old tales, like me, the story’s ending is known; what’s unknown is how the ending is achieved. Total unpredictability may be randomness or experimental literature, not my thing but maybe yours. A few years ago I read a YA (young adult) book by an author I admire.
