Working on Your Language Skills

So you're traveling in two weeks to visit some expat friends in Strasbourg but haven't had a chance to learn any French? No worries... you can start learning French or several other foreign languages without having to pay a dime. It turns out the BBC has several online courses that can help with a variety of languages... French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch... even Icelandic or Ukranian. The best part is that most of the content is in MP3 format so you can dump it on your favorite player and learn while you jog or as you head home from work. Not bad for free! The BBC Languages page is really worth visiting. I'm going to brush up on un petit peu de Francais.
