Podcasts are the future of language learning! by: Ron
I think you're right on the money. Podcasts are the future of language learning.
It's not just user-driven content. Anyone could be said to be an expert in their own native language. That means that any motivated individual can create a podcast for other people to learn their language.
There are lots of enterprising people out there. Before long, I think there will be podcasts for just about any language. Even some really obscure ones.
Right now the reality is just starting to sink in. Yeah, it's still hard to find a podcast for learning Swedish or Catalan or Finnish. But eventually we'll see it. The sooner the better I say!
