Japanese Podcasts
On a whim, I searched the iTunes store for Japanese podcasts. (from within the iTunes application) I found lots; many of which are free! (my favorite price) 
The best so far (really wish I’d found these guys sooner) is JapanesePod101.com podcast. Their premium yearly price a lot less than Rosetta Stone. If their free podcasts are any indication, it must be a great service. I haven’t subscribed yet, but they do have a free week trial we might try. If we’re still listening to their podcasts next year, I may subscribe. Hmmm… guess I’d better start saving now. 
Another one we’ll soon be listening to is Japanese Classical Literature at Bedtime podcast. If we’re going to listen to someone speaking Japanese, why not someone reading classic Japanese literature. 
I just need to burn them to CD.
If you are wondering what all this has to do with a tree frog on a peppermint plant… nothing. 
I just took this picture yesterday and thought it was kind of cute.

Beautiful pictures!
I sure wish I had learned languages when I was younger….. Japanese is a good choice, too.
