Interesting site on reading/English language

[Guest guest]

Thought I'd pass this on here as it looks:

" I was looking at the CHERAB website and think it gives really great

information and advice. We have created a public interest website at

http://www.howtolearnenglish.co.uk focused on expert advice on

learning the english language, which I thought may be of interest to

your visitors.

We don't make any profit from the site but we'd like to spread the

word and get the information out to as many people as possible. "

They must be making profits from the many ads on the site -but it

does appear to have some good information -here's one clip for

example that I found:

Games And Activities To Learn A Second Language

Here are a few games and activities to help your child learn a second

language easily.

Using Computer Games – Depending on the age of your child, there are

lots of software programs that you can use. Language software

developed for children will be full of games and fun activities.

There are even software packages that will sit idly on your computer

until your baby bashes on the keys.

Specialty DVD/CDs – There are many language DVDs and CDs that are

developed especially for children. With a combination of music,

pictures and language, a child can be learning a new language and

having fun at the same time.

Searching on the Internet – There are lots of fun games available on

the Internet for you and your child to play together. Many popular

character websites are available in many different languages. So for

a change, why not look and play on the games in another language.

Talking games and toys – There are many television programmes that

are focused on teaching children a second language. These programmes

also have toys that do the same thing. Also, you can find other, more

traditional games and toys in other languages for your child to

enjoy.

Listening to music – Music is a fantastic learning tool for any

child. You can find many children's CDs and music tapes in other

languages. You should be able to find traditional nursery rhymes or

popular songs translated into other languages. This way your child

should recognise the tune, but will learn a new language.
