Last year I took Spanish. This year, I'm taking Chinese at the local college. (Then I'll need Arabic and
Russian for the top 5.) What are some good audio resources for Mandarin Chinese? I have no trouble remembering pīnyīn and the characters are going to take practice, but what I need most is ear training to separate tones. What is out there? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Assuming that you're looking for language learning material, check out the Mandarin podcasts. In no particular order, here are some...
iMandarinPod Chinese Learn Online (CLO) PopUp Chinese Slow Chinese ChinesePod There are many more. Most of these have free material which can be used for a lengthy period of time. Good luck! Edited by Snowflake on 18 January 2013 at 9:07pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Rutgers RMCTS has 2 audio files per lesson. Audio quality isn't great but it's native voices and starts at beginner level.
I sometimes put videos from VOAChina's YouTube on to listen to in the background while I'm doing other things. I'm not a a level where I can understand more than a few words occasionally yet however. There's also the Happy Chinese series on YouTube which is also available on the CCTV Learn Chinese page, where there are a lot of other video series available. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I'm guessing Hertz meant the the 5 official UN languages in addition to English.
