Really enjoying this, thank you so much for sharing all these fantastic links, It will make learning so much more enjoyable for students. Cant wait to start with it.

Had I known that this WORD MAGNETS program existed two years ago, I could have passed a job application as a language trainer. I flunked it because I couldn't find a way to make grammar more interesting. The call center manager asked me to explain verbs in the most interesting manner, and I researched all the grammar books. All of them were boring, and so, my lecture was boring. Thus, I flunked. Now, this software came along, and how I wish I could turn back the hands of time.THANKS!

I studied a foreign language software, but I couldn't finish it because I was very bored. This program is far better than Google's translate because I can read what I am interested in. I can convert a web page into a clickable foreign page, and I won't be forced to read something I hate. Also, word lists can be jumbled to make a game --- not a bookish approach. This is my number one tool once I study Spanish the end of this year.

Nice. Very funny. I like it so much, I sent it to my friends, and they were all laughing. I will be definitely using this in my power point presentations. Bad thing though there is no download version so that you can use it offline and also the script is limited, but again, I can't complain, it really made me laugh! I am a very hard to please person, and this will really impress a lot of students. It's a great ice breaker, so it's ok if the scripts are short! Jokes are supposed to be short.

It is a speech recognition software, and I am well acquainted with Dragon Naturally Speaking Premium 11. I like this website because you don't have to calibrate, and also it gives you hints like the sentence structure with missing words that you need to type. Absolutely cool especially if you have a report on a news event, and you are required to comment on a news item from a particular video. For something that is free, it's really good.
