    Not so much "against the rules" as "superfluous." See that little up-arrow on the comment you responded to? Click on it, and the number of points goes...+1. If you agree with a comment, and have nothing substantive to add, just up-vote. No need to post a confirmation. (If you disagree with a comment, on the other hand, post a comment disagreeing-- don't down-vote it, unless you feel that it doesn't add to the conversation.)

  Well, that depends very much on your level. If you are completely new to Spanish (like I was), you'll need to bootstrap the learning process with something really basic. I started using an audio course from Pimsleur, teaching me to say "Where is the hotel?" etc. After that, I still needed material of the simpler kind suitable for foreigners. There are a bunch of such podcasts, for example: http://www.notesinspanish.com http://www.notesinspanish.com (very beginner-friendly, some parts in English) http://teresasanchez.biz/podcast/ http://teresasanchez.biz/podcast/ (slightly more advanced, all in Spanish) http://www.spanishpodcast.org/ http://www.spanishpodcast.org/ (also a bit more advanced) When you're getting bored with the stuff for foreigners, you'll find a wealth of "normal" podcasts in Spanish. Don't worry if you don't understand every word, as long as you get the basic gist. When I started I very much enjoyed a podcast on astronomy, at http://universo.iaa.es/ http://universo.iaa.es/ Spain's national radio, RNE, has pretty much all of their programming available as podcasts, at http://rtve.es http://rtve.es The BBC has a rather good daily news podcast at http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/mh/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/mh/ After a while you'll be ready for something more difficult, for example: Etcetera podcast is two guys in Buenos Aires philosophizing in a rather entertaining way, at http://etceterapodcast.com/ http://etceterapodcast.com/ Pretty much the same, but with three guys in Spain and more swear words, is Kafelog, at http://www.kafelog.com/ http://www.kafelog.com/
