HOW ABOUT BECOME AN ENGLISH EXPERT?

Hi there! =)

TAKE A LOOK AT "ONE LOOK" ;)

Hey guys!

What do you think about search a word in more than 1000 dictionaries at the same time?
That is the purpose of One Look! There you can put a word and the site will give you a big list of meanings in dictionaries like Cambridge, Webster's, Macmillan, Oxford and many others! You can search the meaning of the word in English or the translation, this option you can find at the main page. Also it can give the meaning of the word in different subjects, for example, if I search the word "ball", the site will show me the meaning of this word in Art, Medicine, Sports... Intersting, isn't it? That's a good tool for the people who works with translation!

I hope you like it =)!

LIVEMOCHA

Hello everybody! =D

Nowadays, Internet is extremely necessary in our lives. We use it for many things like communication,researching , for fun... So, why not to use Internet to learn another languages?
That's why I decided to bring some suggestions of websites that can help us in the learning =)!
The first one is Livemocha .
Livemocha is a kind of a community of learners. You can register yourself and choose which languages you want to learn. The website offers almost 40 languages courses!
There's lessons and levels to choose; you can exercise the reading, speaking, listening and writing and receive an evaluation in the end of the lesson, it's very cool =)!
For example, when you are practicing the speaking skill (you'll need a microphone to do it, ok?), you can read a text aloud and record it for a native speaker evaluate your performance. What do you think?

I hope you like it!

DO YOU REMEMBER OF THE ODYSSEY ?

A loved it, was a great movie about the history of Odisses and his adventures. I recommend specially for those ones who are studying Mythology.
This is a great movie that was well done and it is faithfull to the original history of books.
One of actores in this movie is Isabella Rossellini as God Athena, protector of Odisses(Armand Assante).

This great production have costed 40 milions of dolares, has brilliant special effects and was maneged by Francis Ford Coppola.

I have had this movie in tape and I could not transfer it for a DVD... If someone here have it, keep this jewel safe!!!

NEW ZEALAND! AUCKLAND!

Hi guys!

This is a very beautiful and interesting place to visit!

It´s far ... But looks awesome!



Auckland has all of the large-scale attractions that would expect of a big city: museums, galleries, zoos and family amusement parks.

There's no shortage of activities when it comes to Auckland. From sailing in the harbour to bungy jumping off the Auckland Harbour Bridge, horse-riding along a white sand beach or playing a round of golf on a scenic peninsula. Auckland has it all !!! It's not hard to see why Auckland is regularly named as one of the best lifestyle cities in the world.

Auckland will tempt your tastebuds with locally grown produce, seafood from its abundant harbours and award-winning wines to match. Enjoy bustling markets, restaurants and bars, wineries and gourmet attractions.



Learn Auckland's culture and heritage through experiences, landmarks, tours and arts.
Auckland’s lure to travellers is reflected in the names it was given by early Maori: it is known in Maori as Tamaki Makau Rau, which can be translated as the maiden sought by one hundred lovers. The Ngati Whatua iwi or tribe, widely recognised as the dominant tribe of Auckland, made it its home sometime in the mid 17th century and also referred to it as Te Herenga Waka, the place where many canoes are tethered.

Auckland’s stylish heart is the home of many of New Zealand’s top fashion designers. The block around High Street, the Chancery and Vulcan Lane hosts the boutiques of Karen Walker, Workshop, Zambesi and World, plus dozens of other designers.

Auckland caters to all kinds of visitors when it comes to tours of the region's highlights. Choose from five-star coach tours, fun backpacker or budget bus tours, ferries and water taxis, personal guides or luxury limousine rides. Special interests such as walking and wine are well catered for.

Tourism Auckland can offer you sizzling hot deals for travel, activities and accommodation.

There are spectacular views from many of Auckland’s natural and man-made landmarks.

The region is dotted by 48 volcanic cones, with easy access to the summits of Maungawhau (Mt Eden), Maungakiekie (One Tree Hill), and Rangitoto Island in the Hauraki Gulf. In the heart of the central business district, you can't miss the imposing Sky Tower, which at 328 metres is the tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere. You can also climb to the apex of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, and the more adventurous can bungy jump from it.

The region is surrounded by rainforested hills, such as the Waitakere and Hunua Ranges. They offer dozens of bush walks for all abilities. The Waitakere Ranges are also the gateway to the wild west coast, where surf pounds black-sand beaches, all just a 40 minute drive from downtown.

Wonderful place!
