Ever wondered what Brazillian Portugese or Indonesian or Swedish sound like? Look no further. This German site has lots and lots of small soundclips where people around the world read a small paragraph from Le Petit Prince.
The site seems to be only in German but you get by relatively well without knowing German. I can imagine that this site will grow with time so soon they'll map a lot more of the interesting languages in Africa. So far, they've collected some 100 languages on this site. Well done!
On http://www.bodowartke.de/liebesliedgenerator/, also in german, you can click together a love song. Each tact can be sung in a different language. Sounds quite funny.
