Hello

I�m an ESL teacher in the USA and a friend emailed me something interesting today which is happening for ESL students (he asked me to pass it on � couldn�t think of a better way of doing it than this!) It�s a new website called www.linguagum.com which sends students a sentence every day in their email. The email has a link to the website and you then download the day�s sentence � you can listen to it on your computer or put it on your iPod. This way you get to practice English in bite-sized chunks every day to improve vocab and pronunciation. I think it�s a good idea because, as the site says, you don�t have to make time to study � you can practice the sentence of the day anywhere at any time if you have an MP3 player. I signed up to see what it was all about and it looks pretty interesting. The quality is good and it�s FREE at the moment. Apparently they are going to start charging for it some time in the future but according to the site it�s going to be pretty cheap anyway - $1 a week, $3 a month or $30 a year. The site�s in English and Spanish at the moment but it would still work fine for speakers of any language. Anyway, I have done my good deed for the day letting you know about it� take a look and see what you think.

Hi,

I was wondering if your website will always be dedicated to the English language or if more languages will be added in the future. Thanks for your answer.
