Watch Your Language Blog

Go online!

One of the greatest ways to explore a new language, at least without actually going to a place where people speak that language, is to explore the internet.

Even when you're sitting at your desk, you're never more than a few clicks away from online newspapers, magazines, reference materials, travel and cultural sites, radio stations, songs, and much more. In fact, our Living Language Online courses are designed with "discovery activities" that encourage students to put their new language - even just a little bit of it - to practical use in the real (virtual!) world.

All you have to do is search for something that interests you, maybe "Spanish newspapers" or "Arabic radio stations" or even "kayak en France," and explore. Find a few favorite sites, bookmark them, and make visiting them a regular part of your language practice. You'll get a great chance to practice what you're learning in a tailored context, and you may even find that kayak tour of the Ardèche you've been looking for...
