Thing 6

Oh my! I have found the most wonderful site. I took Spanish in high school and can read and understand a few words, but I have always wanted to learn enough to speak a little. I found the following site and could not stop interacting with it. It is FREE and that always speaks to me. The name of the site is Mango Languages and it is absolutely user friendly! Here is a link to it http://www.mangolanguages.com/main . I highly recommend it to anyone with ESL students in their classroom. In my county there is no translator during parent/teacher conferences or for any correspondence. I usually go to Babel Fish for translating written parental correspondence, but I always have the student read it and make certain that it translated correctly (I don't want to send home any crazy messages lol). I could use this site in the classroom. It would be helpful for my ESL students because there is a group of lessons for that as well. I continue to be excited about all of the new tools I am finding. I just wish there was a site that could recharge me so that I did not have to sleep lol :)
