Self-Directed Language Learners Think about the questions:

1. Do you review what you have learnt regularly? 2. Do you practise what you learn as much as possible? 3. Do you make use of what you know about your own language to help you? 4. Do you try out what you know in real-life situations when you can? 5. Do you try to learn from other people - not only your teacher? 6. Do you experiment with English? 7. Do you take risks while using English?

from http://myenglishonline.wikispaces.com/ This is an excellent and useful wikipage ! Check it out.

Hello All!

I just heard about something that is really wonderful: a project translating all written material on the internet into all (yes, did mean to say ALL!) languages. . . and it also might be a valuable free resource for learners wishing to study a foreign language too!

[]

Here is a video on YouTube explaining how it works!

[]

An if you would like to hear more from the person heading up this incredibly beautiful project, Luis von Ahn, here is his presentation on Massive-scale online collaboration (the DuoLingo idea is just one example of this concept).

[]

As multi-linguists, Learners, tell me what you think of this kind of global project. Does it give you any ideas ? Also, have you heard of micro-volunteering ? If you google it, perhaps you can tell us more about it ?
