It has free online streaming audio books of works that have passed into the public domain (copyright expired), as well as the texts that go along with them, and...get this...it has audio books in all sorts of languages!
French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Portuguese seem to be the common ones, but I've also seen Latin, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Latvian, Yiddish, Chinese, Japanese, Cantonese...
Awesome! I've heard that audio books are a great way to improve listening comprehension, and having a text in a target language as well as in English is great for vocab-building.
Now I really want to be able to read Poe's "The Raven" in Finnish... :D
