Ok, I removed you from the roster, Przemek. Sorry to see you go, good luck with your
individual TAC.

I haven't been around much as I set myself a huge time commitment every week in order to
achieve my language goals for the year. But I'm finally getting my routine down, which I
agree is the hardest thing about language learning and about pretty much everything else
in life.

Thanks for sharing Hendrek, that's so cool that it has the audio. I've added that link to
the 2nd post, as well as a link for the Hebrew translation of the Little Prince.

I have happy news to share, I found someone who's willing to be the godfather for the
Hebrew learners!!! His HTLA name is laban and he might drop by later to say hello.

The Hebrew godfather laban (Guy) would prefer to be contacted directly with individual
questions, as he might forget to check the forum. Here's the link to his profile:

http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/member-language-p rofile.asp?PF=13097&M=A

Did I mention he's from Israel?

And in other great news Jappy58 has accepted to be the official Persian godfather. And
just like he did before he would also be happy to answer any Arabic questions we might
have, either dialect or MSA.

OK, for the Persian learners out there, I've finally found the thing I've been
searching for for so long.... an in-browser pop-up dictionary for Persian! (actually,
it looks like it covers just about all the languages that Google translate covers,
including arabic).

TransOver is the program.

It's not perfect, but as long as you know the basic grammar so you can recognize the
various tense forms yourself and just need to define the root word, then it isn't bad
for reading online texts. The only downside is that it does not pronounce or
phonetically spell the word, which is an issue in Persian... but still better than
nothing.

First, switch your browser to Google Chrome. (it may be available for others, but I
don't know)

Then go to the chrome web store and search "TransOver" in the Extensions area. Add it
to Chrome, and when you hover over foreign text, it will translate it immediately as a
mouse-over popup window.

Hopefully this will help some folks. I know that personally, reading is a key feature
to my language learning and the thing that has been holding me back with Persian a lot,
so hopefully this will be the way to move forward.

On to The Little Prince now!

Is it possible to join? Do you have any requirements? I've started learning Arabic and could use some input...
