ChinesePod & SpanishPod

I always feel bad that my Mandarin is slipping away and I don't do much about it. I don't really have any use for it now or for the foreseeable future, but it seems a shame to have put in so much effort to learn a language only to drop it later.

One resource I've been using that allows me to meaningfully review what I know and learn new things is ChinesePod. You can sign up and get great Chinese lessons online, or if you're like me and will absolutely never take the time to actually go through the lessons you can still (for free) download a daily mp3 file. I've got a bunch of them on my ipod now and when I'm driving sometimes I'll play a few (they're just a few minutes each) and brush up a bit on my Chinese.

I've also always wanted to learn Spanish, and it just so happens that SpanishPod does the same thing, so I've been listening to those as well. Adios and Dzai Jen.
