i don't want to say much, but you know that whole using music to learn the many facets of a language? (vocab, spoken, rhythm, etc.)
well that's what this new venture has done
It's still beta, which is why we need to use it with great intensity! and give feedback to the developers

Unfortunately, it's currently only available for studying 4 languages, none of which I'm learning, but hopefully that will change soon? It seems like a good idea, if it gets off the ground.

Hate, hate, hate that to join you need to use either a Facebook or Twitter id.

Sorry @formalhaut, I agree with @hrhenry. They aren't going to get me to log in with my twitter account or my email. I hate when websites make you do that and usually vote with my mouse by clicking away. So, can you tell me why, in more detail, this site deserves my attention, please?

You don't need a facebook or twitter ID... Right underneath that there's the option to register with an email address. :)

So there is... I jumped the gun - a reaction to seeing sites that want your Facebook or other social id, I suppose.

OK, I used a junk email account and logged in. This looks interesting and does cover Portuguese. Videos have bilingual transcripts and are useful. The articles seem to incorporate some features from Learning With Texts. I will check this site out further, in the meantime, @formalhaut, I'm interested in knowing why you like this site so much.

I've registered but I have to say, this is a really difficult website to use.
It's really unresponsive. I'm clicking on stuff and nothing's happening.
Anyone else got this same problem? :(
