BBC Language Courses

The culture of Continental Britain comes partly from the many language courses produced by the BBC, Linguaphone, and Teach Yourself books. All these companies are based in Britain! Here's some links to some courses, although some material for some of the courses is missing. 

BBC "Avventura" Italian 

This course was a good introduction to Italian, with a TV series featuring live action, as well as a comic strip, a book, and a vinyl record to accompany it. Here's a link to the vinyl record audio. 

BBC Deutsch Direkt 

This is a series teaching people about German by using live action scenes starting with very simple German, then working your way up.
