The Nearest Thing to French Class Room

No time for attending French courses at the Alliance Francaise?
No problem!
Welcome to Coffee Break French - the nearest thing to a real life classroom session.
This is actually a podcast. However, the production value is professional. And what's more it is FREE. At least the podcasts are.
You need to pay for the transcripts and the other value added service. But believe me, the way Mark - the teacher - and Anna - the student go about teaching and learning French, you may not need the transcripts.
Each podcast is of 15-20 minutes duration.
You can download the entire set of 80 lessons from iTunes too (podcasts > Education > Language Courses > Radio Lingua Network > Coffee Break French)
Let me know if you enjoy it.

Excellent (Free) Spanish Language Resource

You want to try out a new language.
Spanish, for instance.
You do not know if this is just a passing phase or if you are serious about leaning Spanish.
Obviously, you do not want to spend any money on it. Not yet.
Look no further than Coffee Break Spanish.
The basic weekly podcasts are free.
The introduction to the language is gradual.
Words are repeated often with pronunciation very clearly brought out.
At the time of typing this blog, there are 28 lessons.
A total of 80 lessons are planned.
Coffee Break Spanish has premium services too, but I recommend trying out their basic podcasts (free, of course) first.
If you think, you are up to it, you can always go for their premium services later.
