the kids and i are embarking on some foreign language projects. i found a site where the foreign service institute teaching tapes, being now in teh public domain, are now on the internet in mp3 format. too cool!

i just wish they had the russian mp3s.

i will put the ones i need in my mp3 player and listen to them at lunch in addition to the lessons on cd i have going in my car. my goal is fluency in german by next summer.
and i think i will refresh my french.

and the intermittant "A" key is working again. but "" is still down for the count.
