Updated Links Page...sort of.

Under Foreign Language I added Busuu to the resource list. If you click on the Busuu link, for some reason it continues to display the page in Italian...to change this, click the pull-down box to the right of Tour! It gives the option of different display languages. Inglese is English. Click that and the site will change. I am not sure why it continues to link that way because I made sure it was in English when I linked originally.

Just a note: Busuu is an adult learning site. It does not seem to care that some of it's material (photos) are objectionable and may be viewed by children. To sign up it the registered account holder must be 16* years old or older. When I started letting my kids use this site, I put in my birth year. I found my old post on Homeschoolblogger about Busuu when we were first using it:

Other notes: We have been using Busuu.com for foreign language. I still want to use some of the books that I have saved from Googlebooks but the kids think they can learn it faster and better from online. There are a few sites that I am utilizing for FL. If you look here you can see other sites that offer free lessons; or here. Hmm, I will let them have a go at it because actually they are learning the basic conversation bits quickly enough but pronunciation and grammar aren't so focused on and aren't being mastered easily. They are enjoying it and I don't want to take that away from them. Another thing about Busuu is you have to be a certain age (at the moment, I don't remember what that is) so I had to sign up for the account but they use it. I am always right here when they are using it but it still makes me nervous I suppose, with who knows who online trying to talk to them, and in some other language no less! Paranoid? Oh well. I have to take care of them.
