Visual dictionary

Yes, Twitter has been doing the job for me. Every night, when I open my twitter, I get all the important information on the topics of my interest that were on the web throughout the day. And the nicest ones, well, I pass them on to you! The last one was a Visual Dictionary . Incredible. You can search for words in many different ways: typing the key word, browsing through the category, or even by looking for a certain image! Enjoy it!

The best websites for English language learners - quoting Larry Ferlazzo

The nice thing about having a blog is that you can organize your ideas, select what´s best for your readers (my students, in my case), and share other people´s ideas. Larry Ferlazzo is well-known among the web 2.0 community, when it comes to English teaching. He has a blog (Websites of the Day) where he posts really interesting material. If you´re lazy enough to resist browsing through it, just take a look at the post whose title was mentioned above, and be ready to learn a bit more. Fantastic post! Thank you, Larry!
