Title: Monday Talk: German Interviews with Celebrities
Body:
From http://www1.wdr.de/radio/podcasts/wdr2/montalk234.html
WDR 2 Montalk is “zwei Stunden intensives Gespräch mit Prominenten aus dem Showgeschäft, aus Sport, Politik oder Kultur und mit Überraschungsgästen - spannend und entspannt,” according to the website. The interviews are long and cover many topics with the celebrity being interviewed that Monday. Since it is quite long, it’s probably most useful to choose only a section of it to use with your class or assign as out of class listening practice for your intermediate and advanced language learners.

Title: The 20 Funniest French Expressions
Body:
From http://matadornetwork.com/
In this article you can find a list of funny expressions in French, with an English equivalent next to each. It may be interesting to explore the origin of some of them, since they seem to be closely related to certain aspects of French culture, like food: “make a whole cheese about it”. However, teachers will need to filter which ones to use because some include more vulgar language.

Title: Silly Russian Laws
Body:
From http://blogs.transparent.com/russian/
This article looks at some silly laws in Russia. These could be used in class as cultural reference to create a discussion, and maybe ask students to find other silly laws in their own countries. Alternatively, this topic would link well with the use of modal verbs, so it can help provide some practice using them (e.g. you mustn’t, you shouldn’t…)
