Last month, we asked Trip Crazed fans
How many languages they knew. A number of you guys knew many languages or wanted to learn new ones. Rosetta Stone packages can be pretty pricey and require lots of dedication.
Luckily, there are other options to learning a language. One new option is downloading a Podcast. They are free and available through iTunes and they are worth a shot.
How can you use a podcast to learn a language? Simple.
1. Podcasts are very simple to download. Search in the iTunes store for your language of choice.
2. If you're looking for recommendations for Podcasts, Open Culture has a
great list of Podcasts.
3. Now you're ready to learn a language on the go! You can listen to episodes on your way to school, on a long plane ride or play it in your car on your way to work.
Would you use a Podcast to learn a language? What methods would you use to learn?

I have been using Itunes to learn portuguese and brush up my japanese as well. It is a free underused resource...
A good idea!
Thanks so much for the link! Hoping to go to Europe next summer. I'm sure this will come in handy!
I really think you should all check out Before You Know It. :) Helped me so much with my Japanese! Also, for those who can watch NHK World, you can see "Nihongo Quick Lesson", a quick program that helps you learn phrases (some mimetic etc.)
