While foreignwords is off having 38-course meals comprised exclusively of foods that end in “ini”, we back home (which is a relative term) will keep the HebEx blog afloat with this yummy find.Once relegated to big-city hipsters and teeny-boppers who live through their music, the iPod is now a ubiquitous device that even the older friends in my congregation use to listen to the latest Watchtower podcast in the car group. Beyond being “mp3 players,” they can help you organize your life, do research on the go, enable your “social networking” addictions and—of course—learn a language. I took a turn about the iTunes store and was not surprised to find a plethora of podcasts, apps and even games all designed to help you expand your linguistic horizons. However, I was excited to learn that even Hebrew was included among its offerings. Stay tuned for more on which language apps rock and which...well, don’t.
I've been addicted to learning on my iPod. For the last few months I've been learning a bit of Chinese,though nothing very serious, with the help of my iPod. Of course pimsleur is locked and loaded, but my other favorite is my chinese coach. It's a fun little game that has helped a lot. They also have other 'coaches' such as French and I think Spanish. If you buy My Chinese coach for nintendo ds it's 45 dollars or so, but I only paid a few dollars for the exact same program for iPod touch. I also have an audio phrase book from lonely planet(I got it free). It helps me get the flow of sentences but isn't good for much else.
