Due to the Champs-Elyées company no longer in operation, the Champs-Elyées (French), Puerta del Sol (Spanish), Acquerello Italiano (Italian) and Schau ins Land (German) audio magazines are not available anymore. I am aware of the Think French, Spanish and Italian series. Are there others out there for other languages in the market somewhere? *note I found a free Portuguese audio magazine series to learn the language, but I am not sure if it has ever been mentioned in this site or not. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Language-learning magazines with audio files are a great way of expanding one's vocabulary, increasing one's fluency, and exploring the culture that a given language operates in, all at very reasonable prices. However, whereas they require a great deal of time, effort and money to deploy and maintain, they all chase a truly niche market. Building and maintaining a solid, profitable, long-term, customer base is extremely difficult. In my own searches for these types of magazines, I have come across the following:
CHAMPS-ELYSEE Was really very good, but it is now gone. AUTHENTIK Was absolutely fabulous, but was withdrawn earlier this year. Nonetheless, their website still offers some excellent free testing material from their archives (French, Spanish, Italian, and German) THINK LANGUAGE! As you pointed out, their website offers subscriptions to French, Spanish, and Italian versions of their monthly magazine. From time-to-time, I have seen bloggers complain about typographical errors. However, I tried their Spanish and Italian magazines for two years and was quite satisfied. The publisher promises a German version for, perhaps, 2014. ELI MAGAZINES Offers magazines in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, and Latin. They're definitely worth looking at. SPOTLIGHT VERLAG Offers magazines in English, French, Spanish, Italian, and German. They're fabulous! They'll even let you order two trial issues. Can anyone add to the list or otherwise comment? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This looks incredible. Is there anything comparable to this for other languages? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I forgot to put the link for the Portuguese audio magazine. There has been no update for
a couple of years already. The site does offer the magazine to download for free Here. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
