You know it’s true. Everyone has told you. You have to spend as much time as possible listening to a foreign language. But how?
* Co-Workers – Friends – Family
If you are fortunate enough to have people around you who speak the language, spend as much time as you can with them. Be forewarned, though. Daily conversation with friends and relatives will probably be filled with idioms and grammar that would make your foreign language teacher nauseous.
* Internet Broadcasting
There are many free internet radio stations. They broadcast day and night, 7 days a week. All you have to do is find them. Try internet searches like the following in your favorite search engine:
– free internet radio German
– free internet radio Norwegian
– free internet radio French
– internet radio stations Spanish
– internet radio stations Portuguese
Disc jockeys and talk show hosts may not use perfect grammar. However, news broadcasts are usually correct.
* Books on Tape or CD
You can purchase audio books online at sites like Amazon.
Unfortunately, not all audio...
