Delicious!
Del.icio.us seems, at the first sight, a sort of “preferiti” online, but it is more than that! It is not just a site for saving your favourites and bookmarks!
It is very useful because we can save a link to anything we view on the web and the list of our favourites exists virtually so that we have access to our bookmarks anywhere, we just need a web access!
The registration on del.icio.us is very simple, just a username and a password and…Done! You can store and organize all your bookmarks!
Once we have created the account, we just have to click on “post”, on the top of the page, to add the sites we are interested in. For each url that we save, we have to provide a brief description (notes) and some keywords (tags) to identify rapidly what we are saving.
The best aspect of this brand new tool concern the fact that it is a social bookmaking: it is not a private way of storing, but everything that we save on del.icio.us is shared!! Del.icio.us works like a filter for the overload of information available on the net: in this way we can easily see what the other users have saved, seeing which sites are actually used and useful! We won’t waste our time consulting useless and unreliable sources of information anymore!!
It is also possible to create a network in which we can add the usernames of our friends, or in our case the users of our peers, in order to have a very quick access to their bookmarks!
In my network there are the names of group F members of and having a look to my group mates bookmarks, I found many interesting things...

It is a guide to Basic English which provides the basic rules of punctuation cleared up by examples.
On the left column of this site there is also a list with the different topics developed, e.g. grammar, vocabulary, listening and so on. Since we can’t deny that we often have doubts about english grammar, it seems to me a very useful site to consult! Moreover there are also quizzes in order to keep trained!!

It is a website about the International tandem network, which in other worlds is a great chance to learn a language with a mother tongue peer! In this site they explain you how to find a partner and how this tandem project works! I never took part such an activity, but it sounds great to me! I mean, the only way to learn a language is practicing and so, what’s better than finding a mother tongue partner to have a conversation with?

Ah, one last think, I put this pic because I love it! It gives the idea of doing something together with another person, don't you think so? Something like...Learning a language! :-)

It is the BBC learning zone in which you can find good exercises with sessions dedicated to the vocabulary, the grammar and the exercises. I guess it can be particularly useful to improve our skills listening to the radio and watching videos!

A dictionary of slang!! That’s great! Slang and colloquial/informal expressions are very difficult to understand and translate! The different expression are in alphabetical order and followed by a definition which helps us to get the message and tells us also where (geographical indication) those expressions are used!
