Want More of a Challenge?

Have you thought that you might like to spend a semester or more at an English speaking college or university? Perhaps you think that my podcasts are not enough of a challenge, that you would like to try something a little more difficult. Well, if so, here is a link that you might find interesting http://devel2.njit.edu/serendipity/index.php?/archives/267-Public-iTunes-U-Sites-version-2.html Several American colleges and universities such as University of California, Princeton, Stanford, the New Jersey Institute of Technology and many others offer free podcasts to anybody who cares to download them. The link that I have given above lets you easily find many of these podcasts. The content of the podcasts varies, but many are the lecture portion of actual college courses. You can find lectures in chemistry, biology, music, and many other topics. Be forewarned however, these are not for beginners! Unlike my podcasts, the speakers do not stop to explain difficult words or idioms. The lectures are delivered at the same speed as you would hear them in an actual university in the United States. Give them a try. A typical private college in the United States costs between $35,000 and $45,000 per year to attend. These podcasts are free. Take advantage!
