Picture Email ESL Game

[dude]

Learn English vocabulary as you send an email with pictures and words:

http://www.coolpicmail.com

This is a new web site. We are adding more pictures to the database every day. All services provided by CoolPicMail are free of charge!

As you type your email, words that match what you type appear in a separate window. You can click a word in this window at any time to see the picture that corresponds to the word you are typing. Then, you can click a picture if you want to insert it into your email. When someone receives the email, she can try to guess the English word or phrase that corresponds to each picture. She can click on any picture to see its correct English translation. A colorful, fun way to build vocabulary and to study English grammar. Teachers may want to create "lesson" emails with correct grammar and usage. Use the CoolPicMail contact form at the URL above if you need help with the technology.

Have fun!

Hey Dude ... Congratulations on a fine and fun idea - that will certainly appeal to some of the more creative language learners. I know 3 or 4 students who will absolutely love using it occasionally.

By the way, I've added your site as a link from "Word Surfing" at "Vocabulary Games" http://www.wordsurfing.co.uk/43682.html - and hope that this brings you a few more visitors. ( and thanks for adding something interesting to "Word Surfing" )

The MOVIEMAKER site http://www.dfilm.com/index_moviemaker.html is another e-mail idea well worth visiting by the way ... it's cool.

Best wishes
Will
