Ohh, the Web...what an amazing world!
We (or at least I) just discovered “del.icio.us”. It’s not a simple search engine; it’s a sort of search engine in “small format”. Thanks “del.icio.us” users aren’t destined to wander in the Internet looking for something; they will find just the websites other people have considered interesting.
I took a look at the websites chosen by my peers; there is something I really, really like.
I enjoyed Laura’s quotations website very much because I think that the use of quotations enriches a conversation and surely there are some that are very well-known and shared by a specific cultural and linguistic group. So, quotations may be a detail that brings a conversation to a higher level.
Alessandra proposes an online dictionary which also offers the right pronunciation of the words. It’s very useful, since it’s easy to use and if you have a doubt on pronunciation, you can solve it just with a click.
I liked Claudia Turolla’s special dictionary very much. It’s totally dedicated to slang expressions. Generally, nobody studies them at school, but they’re important, in my opinion, since native speakers always use them, especially young people.
However, a language has both formal and informal aspects. This is the reason why I also appreciated Claudia Trivellato’s suggetions about the drafting of commercial letters. The choice of appropriate words is fundamental to gain one’s ends and to be considered trustworthy.
Among Serena’s websites, I chose that which enables people to read American radios transcripts and listen to different audio files. It’s very interesting, because you can learn about American culture and society while you’re improving your listening skills. In this way you’ll probably have something to talk about besides your ability for understanding what native speakers say.
Thanks to “del.icio.us”, our searches in the Web are a bit easier now.
