Media Resources for Language Learners

There is a great resource I found recently for language leaners. http://langmedia.fivecolleges.edu/lm_collection.html is a collection of videos in a wide variety of languages. They include transcriptions and translations of short videos on different topics like shopping, asking for direction etc. I've expanded the resources page to include one on Media language Resources, as I find more and more good resources (like video, internet radio, audiomagazines etc) for language learners and I don't want to clutter up that main resource page too much.

I've also added a page on Language Learning Vacations. It's sort of a fancy name for an in-country immersion course, but sometimes they include more cultural tours and other activities.

Cornish Article and Newsletter#002

I wrote an article recently called Cornish Never Died . This is one of several coming on the topic of dead (or nearly dead or dying) languages.

Issue #002 of the newsletter went out last week, just before I left on a trip. You can read backissues here.
