Learn an Asian language in the car - for FREE!

I was really happy to find out that the local libraries offer audio books in digital audio format.

Which means: virtually an unlimited amount of people can check out the same audio at the same time.

And it also means: saving money! It's all for FREE. You just need a library card and a PIN.

Some titles are burnable. The titles I checked out were Instant Immersion Japanese and Learn In Your Car Japanese Levels 1-3. These were all burnable and I'm going to have a great time trying to polish my rusty nihongo from 7 years ago. =)

Aside from foreign language audio files ranging from French to Russian, they also offer other books in audio format, such as "The Power of Now," "The 4 Hour Workweek," and other popular titles.


Directions:

Go to http://jpl.lib.overdrive.com/
Browse for the titles you want (limited to 10)
Use your library card and PIN to get access to the titles.
Download the software.
Enjoy!
