That Arabic site is fantastic! Thank you for listing it.
If you're familiar with basic Arabic grammar, this site is an awesome supplement to learning. While a lot of it is colloquial, they mention the MSA at some point during the lesson, it seems. Also...head to their forums for any questions. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

For French language learning there is
http://www.frenchpodclass.com/ I haven't used it yet, I'm just starting French, but it looks like at least the first few lessons include pdf files with vocabulary, French/English readings, and dialogues, etc. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I meant to add this French language learning podcast also.
http://www.learnfrenchbypodcast.com/ For a fee, it provides a pdf file with a transcript of the podcast, etc. It has 3 or 4 free samples of various lessons available on the home page. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Zhuangzi:
The way the news work is, that the news articles on the site are also the ones that are read in the news service, usually word by word. So, you just have to listen to which topic is read in the show and find it on the site. For navigation, there are the main categories listed in the second toolbar from the top: Новости . В Росcии . В мире . Выборы . Экономика . Культура . Наука и технологии . Спорт Some of the articles had their own 'audio' buttons if I remember correctly, but I can't find them now..so maybe I'm wrong. I also found another very very good news podcasting source. The NHK World Radio from Japan appearently does their 10 minute daily services in 17! languages: Arabic, Bengali, Burmese, Mandarin Chinese, English, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Korean, Persian, Portuguese Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Thai, Urdu, Vietnamese. http://www.nhk.or.jp/rj/index_e.html 10 minute news services updated many times daily. I say.. Wow! :-) Edited by Vlad on 29 December 2007 at 6:34am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sorry if it's been posted before, but I stumbled across SpanishPod (http://Spanishpod.com/ or iTunes search). It's quite good; set up in a similar fashion to JapanesePod101, although its a bit more "adult" in content. The intermediate lessons are right in my comfort zone (after three years of strictly high school Spanish with little outside study).

Thanks for mentioning these. We are just getting going so the number of podcasts is still limited but we will be working hard on these in the new year. They will consist mostly of natural conversation. We have also started russianlingq. More to come. Comments and requests are welcome. 1 person has voted this message useful |
