Finding Free Language-Learning Podcasts on iTunes
iTunes can be an excellent resource for free language-learning material. Originally developed for the iPod, Podcasts are Internet broadcasts on a variety of topics anywhere from politics to news to college lectures to language-learning.
Podcasts can be easily found and downloaded with iTunes, and kept and listened to forever with iTunes itself, another media player, or an mp3 player. The best thing about podcasts is they are free. Free stuff is cool. Especially if it’s quality, and there is a lot of quality stuff on iTunes.
Language-learning Podcasts can be found on iTunes by:
- Downloading and installing iTunes
- Visiting the iTunes Store, via the link on the left side of iTunes
There are dozens of language-learning podcasts, and the most popular ones are listed on the front page for your convenience. As of right now, CoffeeBreak Spanish and JapanesePod101 are some of the most popular. I’ve listened to both, and they actually are pretty good. Another one that caught my eye was The French Pod Class.
