Deutsche Welle has a daily 10 minute newscast in slowly spoken, carefully pronounced German on this page. When you click on the link for the day's news, a window opens that gives you the choice between listening immediately or downloading in MP3 format. Internet audio has many gaps and interruptions that can make it hard to understand, so I usually download the program, and then record it with a cassette recorder (for my daily commute.) Over a slow dial-up connection, it can take about half an hour to download.
BBC has quite a few resources on this page. And I see links to other European languages as well. But some of the lesson materials take a long time to load and aren't very "portable."
Don't be hateful to people, just because they are hateful to you. Rather, be good to each other and to everyone else. Always be joyful and never stop praying. Whatever happens, keep thanking God because of Jesus Christ. This is what God wants you to do. --1st Thessalonians 5:15-18 CEV
