Over the next few weeks, I'll introduce myself and talk about my experiences as an American living in Japan. We'll talk about interesting ways to learn English, especially using the latest media and technology. I'll also describe working and attending schools in America and Europe. Finally, we'll surf the web in English, concentrating on web sites that help you study English:
- dictionaries and translation services - and ways to use
them effectively
- how to find blogs and podcasts, and how to make your own
- all sorts of great information sources, like wikipedia, wikibooks,
RSS feeds, and big news sites
- stories, songs, and music
- how to find and even make your own video programs
- how to find pen pals and chat partners
- educational games, quizzes, and flashcards that will make learning fun
All of these sites will work on your computer, and many of them will also work on your mobile phone. Get ready to surf!
