If you’re a busy person, you’ll love the modern version of “learn French in your car” CDs or cassettes: “learn French on your iPod” podcasts! Podcasts, if you’re not already familiar with them, are like blogs you subscribe to, except every new episode is downloaded automatically to your iPod or MP3 player. They are almost always free, and some of them are even in video form, for those of you with iPod video screens. Listen to specially made French language learning podcasts or French language podcasts. Here are a few I found:
- Musiq3 – A Belgian radio station available as a podcast.
- VivaCité – Another Belgian radio station.
- Clissic21 – Yet another Belgian radio station!
- Learn Out Loud – A directory of a few French learning podcasts
- Le Podcasteur – A French language podcast.
- Loic Le Meur – A French language video podcast.
- Radio-Canada Baladodiffusion – Programs from a Canadian radio station available as podcasts.
- Un monde de sons – A French language podcast from Le Monde (French newspaper).
- Daily French Pod – Learn French with this educational podcast. Costs money, but there is a free trial offer.
- French For Beginners – A beginner’s French learning podcast
- Carmen Vera – A French teacher’s video blog with music videos and lyrics to contemporary French songs.
