Summary

The Linguist List, from Eastern Michigan University, has an amazing list of language links that just couldn't go unmentioned. Included are links regarding linguistics, endangered languages, natural languages, constructed languages (conlangs), writing systems, language meta-sites and language families.

From Website

This area of the LINGUIST list contains information on languages and language families, plus links to websites devoted to natural and constructed languages, to writing systems, and to language resources, e.g., dictionaries.

There's a write-up on Freestyle Language about a Quizlet vocabulary stack of high-frequency (common) Polish verbs taken directly from the Swadesh list.

Recently, two other resources were added on the site relating to Polish, aspect in Slavic languages and action-oriented language-learning:

English-Polish Science Vocabulary Translations
Aspect in Slavic Languages w/Specific Examples using Polish Perfect vs Imperfect Verbs

Yesterday I received an email from Jon at eduFire letting me know that Free Language had been chosen for their Top 20 Language Bloggers on the Web roundup. The blog entry alone is a great resource for those interested in languages in general as well as language learning.

eduFire is a new website for learning and teaching languages online via video chat. In addition to live language tutors, the website has videos, forums, flash cards and other resources. The design is light and bright, there are lots of smiling tutors waiting to teach eager students and it appears to be an overall smooth operation.

eduFire has generously offered Free Language readers a free hour video tutoring session for the first ten folks to email him at freetutoring [at] edufire [dot] com. Just mention that you saw this post on Free Language.

Cheers to eduFire all around for their roundup and offer for free lessons!

VoxSwap has just added some new features to their social language learning website:

Now people can hear and see each other as well as type messages to one another (using Skype). As you can imagine we're excited about this as we think it will help people progress immensely.

They've also added a video channel with lots of videos regarding language and language learning, some educational and some comical.

Praxis Language is hard at work! In the last month they have released two podcasts, doubling their previous number of shows by adding ItalianPod and FrenchPod to ChinesePod and SpanishPod.

I suspect they will be releasing at least three more shows in the coming months for Arabic, German and Japanese.

Praxis has developed a unique method for learning languages online. It incorporates technology with solid methodology and has become amazingly popular.
