Learning a language with podcasts

[piccolomondo]

A second language really helps to broaden your world-view.
If you're interested in learning a language, podcasts are an effective and entertaining way, just by listening to it over and over. iTunes has a whole section of podcasts devoted to language, and best of all, they're mostly all free.

The language-by-podcast road:
iTunes Music Store -> Podcast -> Education -> Language Courses.



Alas, I saw no Teach-Yourself-Arabic-Podcasts.

Who needs ip0d with so many other options, even better than this famous brand.

But in your case, the DIY-another-language is not that crucial, cause you are fluent in at least two languages.
