>Yes, i am starting to gather some really good ones. the best that i found is The FrenchPod Class, I found www.chiliPodcast from the University of Chili.... The China Podcast is also excellent but it does cost a little to down load all of the files.... I investigate this each day..... Also we are starting to use TOEFL for English as a Second Language..... Let me know if I can be of more help to you. I am simply investigating sites and passing the information on to teachers. They can or cant use them as they see fit......
