German Audio Books For Free

Here is a great site for German audio books

www.vorleser.net

The downloads are FREE and the quality is excellent. Good selection too from Grimm fairytales all the way to more difficult pieces. Highly recommend.

Check Out My Video Podcast!

It took me forever but I finally figured out how to do my very first video podcast. It features all the nature photography I do as a hobby. You can check it out in ITunes by typing in

Pic In A Pod

in the search engine for Podcasts. Or you can subscribe to it on this website:

web.mac.com/picinapod/iweb

Right now I just have one episode but will be adding more soon.

Icelandic Rock MP3s

For all of you music enthusiasts I ran across this site:

http://rokk.is/

that has free MP3s of Icelandic rock/pop singers. Some of them are pretty decent some of them are awful - you decide.

Learning Russian Via Anna Karenina

I ran across a really interesting site today. I'm attempting to read Anna Karenina in the original Russian. Cornell University has a fantastic site with lots of neat links.

http://people.cornellcollege.edu/likach/rusexercises/

One of the links actually has the entire book in Russian and as you mouse over words it tells you what it is in English. If that weren't cool enough - you can also highlight words you don't know and have their English definitions print out as footnotes at the bottom of the page. Now seriously - how neat is that?
