Dear all,
As the topic suggested, I am quite curious on what types of websites would you guys visit on a daily basis for perhaps, just the sake of acquiring relevant information on learning your target language(s). Or just merely in order to keep abreast of what is happening around the world in order to prevent oneself from being lagged behind, where will you often browse and surf around? As far as the daily routine of one ordinary diglot like myself is concerned, I would mostly go to check up latest news available via guardian and huffingtonpost, despite the fact I live in Sydney,haha. For mandarin bi-directional translation purposes, I would visit yeeyan.org (Hope this one is not a IP infringer!)where newbies and translators-to-be can submit their rendition of certain English-written articles into Chinese for the mainland audience who generally won't get in touch with out-of-touch accounts of various incidents, reported by the "evil Western media", well, for the reason of what you probably already know! I might just have to trouble you with my request of some general recommendations on what kind of websites would you guys suggest to visit for C1 English learners like myself, apart from two abovementioned ones :) Regards as always, Chenyang PS: I am a psychology major and my tutor recommended me to check out this one as well, to which I already enjoy myself quite frequently: scientopia.org/blogs/scicurious/ Thanks!

I would name, but I dont know if it's acceptable by the forum's policies to mention other language (learning) sites.

I visit Twitter, You Tube, LingQ, my own language blog and the forum of my former astronomy club regularly.

In addition to this forum and similar (e.g. Unilang, Fluent in 3 Months), I check out from time to time unzum's big collection, ERIC and FSI Language Courses for new legally-available learning material.
I also come across useful videos to improve my passive abilities on YouTube and YLE Areena (Finnish and Saamic only). 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

Very frequently (at least 2-3 times a week):That site in Uzbekistan that must
not be named (including their forum and affiliated sites gr*****b and sk***a); a site I probably also shouldn't name but whose Spanish name implies that they are literally addicted to series; youtube (so many films and TV series in Spanish on there now!) Cainntear's blog linguafrankly (though uncharacteristically he hasn't posted for about a month now); http://marcoele.com (I don't actually go looking for things on this site, I just always seem to end up there); wordreference.com. Occasionally: Ajatt (even though I'm not learning Japanese); Antimoon; ALG world; Fluent in 3 months; Spanish-only.com, Harold Goodman's blog learnatarium and liddytime's blog Mainly Magyar; the FSI site and Unzum's site (as with Chung to see if there's anything new); the DLI stuff on JLU (mainly for Gloss and telephone conversations, but sometimes just to browse wistfully the catalogue of basic courses I'll probably never have time to do; languagetransfer.org (to see if Greek 4 is ready yet); the RTVE site; librivox; Norsk Experiment (http://www.apronus.com/norsk/).

This is the only website about language that I visit. And it's my least visited. I go on college and movie
(box office) forums :P 3 persons have voted this message useful |
