I love them!
It’s only recently I’ve realized the true possibilities and hype about them (of course, because I now have the iPod, so ha!)
Well, of late, I’ve been travelling for about two hours everyday for my French class, and till recently I used to spend that time listening to music. Then suddenly I remembered that I had some podcasts that I had not yet listened to, so I transferred them to the pod, and played them when travelling! And lo, it is uber. Absolutely fruitful way of spending otherwise wasted time! So far, I’ve been through four hours of interviews and speeches, most from IT Conversations.
The best part is, I can now relax my otherwise strained eyes. And improve my listening abilities. We normally ignore that, and in just four hours, I can actually feel a difference. As a plus, I am downloading basic stuff in French, like say kiddie stories, to listen to, hopefully that will help my French pronunciation.
Thanks Apple, thanks podcasters and most of all, thanks mom and dad for getting me the iPod!
