这两天在网上搜了点关于Podcast的资料，写了一篇文章，可是被退了回来，说我写的东西是copy其他地方的东西，可我看了Proz给我的网站链接，我可是第一次看到这个网站，不过我写的很多句子也确实从网上搜来的，有些我改动了一两个词，也有些句子是我自己写的。说实在话，我的英语写作水平实在太差，写这篇文章也只是为了练习。现在copy不copy不重要了，目的只是想介绍用Podcast学习英文，我现在也正在用这个东东学习英语听力。
Podcast是有很多免费的英语学习资源，我用的是iTunes软件，从Apple网站下载的，安装之后，点击软件打开窗口左侧的iTunes Store，即登陆到商店主页，点击左侧的Podcasts，新窗口CATEGORIES中的Education，既可以看到很多英语、日语、西班牙语和中文的学习节目，以英文居多。点击某个节目后，出现的窗口中点击SUBSCRIBE既可获得这个节目的全部内容。等下载后，可以在软件窗口的Podcast中看到下载的内容，点击既可开始收听。
提示：软件最好安装在D盘或其他分区中（不在C盘就行），而且在编辑----偏好设置-----高级中，把iTunes Music的存储位置改在D盘，要不然下了几个G的东西，C盘就受不了了。
iTunes Store中Podcast的其他内容非常广泛，包括艺术、商务、医药等节目，甚至BBS，ABC，NRR等各大媒体都有专题节目，资源实在太多了，根据自己的爱好选择吧。
这一切完全免费，当然也有付费的电影和音乐，你可以根据需要决定是否付费了。
关于Podcast的定义，我是从这个网站http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting复制的，本来我的文章是带链接的，但是提交之后就不见了。
我练习写的一点东东：
The best way to learn a language is to live in a country where they speak it for 6 months or a year. Unfortunately, that's not always practical. You can actually make considerable progress in language learning by yourself. The modern technology might help those of you who have been planning on learning a language some day.
Getting some good software is a helpful tactic you can try. With software, it's usually easy to set your own pace. The iTunes software is the best choice to learn a language freely; you can subscribe many Podcast language programmes to learn.
What is a Podcast?
A podcast is a multimedia file distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The term, as originally coined by Ben Hammersley in an article in The Guardian February 12, 2004 [1], was meant as a portmanteau of "broadcasting" and "iPod".[2] Like 'radio', it can mean both the content and the method of delivery; the latter may also be termed podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster.
Download and install the iTunes
iTunes is a Podcast enabled program, it can be free downloaded at
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download. With iTunes installed you can start listening to Podcasts. We highly recommend having high-speed Internet access before subscribing to your podcasts.
Browsing and downloading podcasts
Podcasts are downloadable radio-style audio shows. Podcasts with a display icon next to them also show video. You also can download podcasts using the iTunes Store. The iTunes Store can be seen on the left side of the window when you open the software. Unless marked otherwise, podcasts are free.
• To browse for podcasts at the iTunes Store, click iTunes Store in the Source list, then click the Podcasts link on the left side of the main page and then click Education in the Categories. Click a language podcast to see a list of recent episodes. There are many language podcasts in the main window, such as English, French, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese etc.
• To download a single podcast episode, click the Get Episode button next to the episode.
• To subscribe to a podcast, click the Subscribe button next to the podcast graphic. iTunes downloads the most recent episode. As new episodes become available, they are automatically downloaded to iTunes (when you are connected to the Internet).
• If you know the Internet address of a podcast feed, you can subscribe to it without using the Music Store. Choose Advanced > "Subscribe to Podcast" and enter the URL. You can usually find the URL of a podcast on that podcast's webpage.
• To set the frequency iTunes checks for new subscription podcast episodes, choose Edit > Preferences and click Podcasts. Then choose an option from the "Check for new episodes" pop-up menu.
• To set the number of subscription podcast episodes iTunes automatically downloads, choose Edit > Preferences and click Podcasts. Then choose an option from the "When new episodes are available" pop-up menu. If you choose "Do nothing," new episodes appear dimmed in the Podcasts playlist. You must click the Get button next to the episode to download it.
Now you can playback the multimedia files on mobile devices (eg. portable mp3/mp4 player) and personal computers.
Proz说我Copy的地方

我写这些只是为了介绍Podcast，写成英文主要是为了介绍一点中文学习的资源，现在在这里贴出来，只是想和大家分享一下这个资源，大家各取所需吧。希望对想学习语言的人有点帮助
