I have a lot of free time these days while I wait to get my work visa so I can go to Japan, and since I can't do RTK 16 hours a day, I'm trying to diversify my studies. I'm working my way through the Pimsleur course for speaking practice, and I started trying Rosetta Stone for vocabulary building recently, but I'm still hungry for more.
I know some of you all are using japanesepod101 for listening practice, and I thought it looked interesting, but there's so much stuff on the site I can't figure out where to start! I have taken 2 years of college-level Japanese (corresponding to the first two books of Japanese the Spoken Language). Anyone have a recommendation? Also, is the premium content on the site worthwhile or should I stick to the free content for now?
I suppose I could probably ask this on their forums, but...I'm shy around new people! :-P
