LingQCentral or LingQ Central plus ItalianLingq and ChineseLingQ Podcasts for Free Italian and Chinese Audio Content

LingQCentral or LingQ Central

I've just added two more podcasts from the LingQ Podcast Network: ChineseLingQ and ItalianLingQ.

I'd also like to point out LingQCentral, "where you'll find everything related to LingQ". It's the place to stay tuned to all things LingQ. They put out quite a lot of useful content and work very hard to create effective online resources for learning 10 foreign languages, so check them out!

Hopefully one day I will be able to interview Steve himself, though I don't know if he wants to talk to me again after I didn't follow through last time for multiple reasons. He sent me a copy of his book, which I read most of and enjoyed, but was overloaded with life at the time and didn't properly thank him. Steve: if you're out there, thanks and when you want to try again, just drop me a line. :)

Free Language Moving Up with Baidu.com Chinese Search Engine

I thought the blog subscribers might be interested in knowing that Free Language is rising considerably in the Chinese search engine Baidu. See the screenshot below to get an idea of how much traffic is coming in from this search engine, which peaks at off hours for Google.com because it is on the other side of the world!
