My tips for finding resources :D | Resources for non-spoken aspects of the language | Forum

Hey guys, I wanna share my tips for finding authentic foreign language resources

Tip #1 is about how to find music you like in a foreign language:

What you do, is go on youtube, change the langauge and country to the language you learn and country which your foreign language is spoken in. Then search "new music 2011"  in that language, ex. " Nueva musica 2011". You should find plenty of music, some videos are even mixes of the years best songs, all in one video

Once you find a song that you really like, click on the username of the top commenter and go through their favourites, if they liked that song enough to comment on it, surely they will have other songs that you like too, right? Ive done this many times and havent been dissapointed

Tip #2 is an easy way to get podcasts in your foreign language.

Al you need to do is go to the Itunes store, look for a circular flag ( picture above shows you where it is ) , click it, and change it to the flag that represents the language/country of podcasts you want. This changes it so all the songs/pocasts are mostly in the language you want, all you have to do now is find a free podcast and download it

I hope these tips are useful
