madteaparty Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just sharing this list; I have not yet tried any. Thinking of starting with "news in slow". http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/feb/09/top-podcasts-learning-language-german-japanese Edited to add that I tried the news in slow in French and it's kind of perfect:7 minutes, and though my french is horrid, because I knew the three news items they covered, I could totally follow along. Probably less useful for my 10 yr old but he can suffer through 7 minutes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Tick Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I listened to news in slow Spanish back when they got started - I assume, because it was free. It was a nice variety of a couple current headlines, a story demonstrating a particular idiom, a section focusing on a grammar topic, then a travelogue or local legend. I'm tempted to subscribe, but not sure I would be able to follow-through at this time in my life. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
