I like to hear what other languages sound like. Could you provide links where one could listen to your language?

For Hungarian:
The most readily available material is at the audio website of Radio Hungary: http://real1.radio.hu You can select one of the three stations (Kossuth, Petöfi, Bartók) at the top part of the page, marked green, red and purple. Also, you can select WM or Real Audio as media players. By clicking at one of the links marked WM or MP3 at the topmost part of the page, you can listen to the current programme of each station (but only Petöfi and Bartók are broadcasting after midnight).

I haven’t notice anyone from Finland participating in this forum, so I’ll provide a link to Radio Finland.

Wow, thanks Sander! I'd never heard Dutch before, and I really like the sound of it!

You also may want to start renting foreign language movies with [your native language here] subtitles. Blockbuster usually has a large selection of them and they are generally pretty good. As you are interested in languages you will most likely enjoy getting to see that country too(I know I do). Just a thought. IFC(Independent Film Channel) also plays many well made films from around the world,as does Sundance Channel.

This is a very good website if you want to hear Swedish and dialects from all of Sweden's regions. I'm afraid the website is in Swedish, but click on 'Välj ett landskap eller en ort' and go from there, or click on 'Välj sida' and then 'Karta' and go from there. From each community listed there are dialect samples from an/a: Äldre kvinna - Older woman Äldre man - Older man Yngre kvinna - Young woman Yngre man - Young man

Kirk, if you're reading this thread, you might be interested to hear what the Äldre kvinna from Skillingmark has to say about "midsommar in San Diego."
