I promise to leave it alone...soon

Below, I am posting examples of two "blogs" that illustrates the class outside the classroom. They both relate to French, but they are pretty good pedagogically.

What's unique about them is that they have actual podcasts of lessons. The owner of the blog has created lessons that are played in a media player. The podcasts go along with lessons created that can also be downloaded. Pretty cool. And it seems to be free...for the moment.

The two sites, just for perusal if nothing else:

1. The French Pod Class
2. The French Ecole Podcast Page

Remember, if you want to begin with the first lesson, you will have to track back to the beginning of the blog because blogs go in reverse-order. I would be happy to show you how to podcast lessons, if you're interested. It's quite simple, but takes some patience. You can simply add the podcast to your blog and, for lack of a better word, voilĂ ...you have podcasts as lessons. Just another cool extension of the tech world. Happy practicing of your French.

  • You don't need to leave the tech notes alone. I appreciate them, and people who don't can read the subject lines and skip them--another benefit of technology.
