^_^ What would I do without that awesome website? Hmm... What do I read on the internet, except HTLAL... Let me think... I visit some Polish music forums, if someone's interested, i can send them by PW. Also couchsurfing websites, that can be somehow useful not only while looking for a host, but also with language learning. And sometimes (but lately not very often, unfortunately): vesti.bg , dnevnik.mk, aftonbladet.se, zarolaj.si (there you can also listen to Slovene music). Somehow my plans of reading news from various countries still doesn't work ;/ Oh, and of course - lang-8! 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Aside from the dubious legality of a lot of the material on the site, many of the scans are of pretty poor quality, or parts are missing. But it's a pretty good site to find out what's available for a language if you don't know what you're looking for. Then once you find something of interest, it's much easier to look for an exact title to legally purchase elsewhere.

Well, I guess this is not the place to explore whether they are legal are not but I'll just quickly point out that many things that are perfectly moral (smoking weed, for instance) are illegal and some that are highly immoral (e.g. selling arms) are perfectly legal so that even if that were shown (and again I acknowledge that this is not the place for that debate) that wouldn't necessarily constitute a crticism in my eyes.
The guys on there put in such a lot of time and effort obtaining and scanning these materials that I'm just in awe, to criticize scan quality would be incredibly ungrateful on my part (speaking as one who has benefited a lot, I'm not implying you're ungrateful). Besides, they're almost always usable.
Very true, but also great for those who simply can't afford materials, e.g. in poorer countries.
Oh yeah! I keep meaning to start using that again. Thanks for the reminder. Edited by Random review on 11 July 2012 at 9:36pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

I frequent many websites and I don't have much time right now, so I'll only mention a few here.
Wordreference's online dictionaries - The Italian one is especially helpful for me. sanakirja.org - One of the better Finnish dictionaries online fintwol - Morphological analyzer for Finnish very useful Huffington Post - I can't just read about languages YouTube - I listen to a lot of music here Sverige Radio - Swedish radio Yle - Finnish radio Svenska Dagbladet - I do read other Swedish newspapers online but I visit this site most often.

Most of the sites I visit have little to do with actual language learning. I mostly visit travel/culture and investing sites that give me insight into Chinese culture and the language.
