>ps know of any websites where I can hear german? I can find ones where I can read it, but not to listen to words...

There are several radio stations which broadcast over the web. Tell me your favorite music and I'll tell you a suitable station <g>.

One of the radio stations around here in Stuttgart is SWR3. You can go to their website (http://www.swr3.de) and click on the "Einschalten" button in the upper right corner. If you want to listen to the live channel, the text over the picture must be "SWR3 Live", when you click the button.

BTW: This is my favourite method to keep my English listening up. In the past I often listened to AFN (American Forces Network), which was broadcasted here in Germany. Nowadays I prefer listening to KISS FM via the web. Much better music <g>.
