Greetings everyone from Japan, where I try to teach English to college students. To get a better idea of some of my areas of interest in CALL, please go check out my site at www.CALL4ALL.us , which is meant to help both teachers and learners of all major world languages. You will see all pages provide instant glossing into about 140 of them and TONS of other very useful links. Take a look, as I think it will speak for itself. Speaking of which, the site does speak if U have a TTS program installed. There's one U can get free from the right menu called "This Site Speaks For Itself!"
Finally, I was raised with Intl students in central NY, so that may explain some of my deep interest in all languages and cultures of the world! :) Cheers & Best Wishes to U all! John Paul Loucky (U may also contact me via my site)

WoW! John, Thanks for this link. It is the most comprehensive site I have seen. I teach English in Egypt, and I am trying to learn Arabic and Spanish, so believe me, I can use this good news.

Best wishes to you and your students,
Deborah Kerwood
