Comp-jugador: http://aries27.uwaterloo.ca/~dmg/lando/verbos/con-jugador.html
Comp-jugador can conjugate nearly 10,000 Spanish verbs. Simply type in a verb, and press Conjuga. Your single page response will include conjugations for all tenses. For example, try the verb "tener" -- to have. The irregular conjugations (those that do not follow the rules such as "tengo," "tienes,"
"tiene," "tienen") are marked in bold, while all regular forms (those that do follow the rules such as "tenemos" and "tenÈis") are italicized.

Conjugation Trainer: http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Island/9069/ConjugationTrainer/presbasic.html
Starting with basic verbs in present tense, you'll be presented with an infinitive (such as "leer" -- to read) and a pronoun ("yo" -- I). Enter the conjugation ("leo" -- I read) and press "Correct?" Use "Next Word" to move to the next problem. Check your percentage score at any time with the "My
Result" key. To progress to another quiz, click "Other conjugation sets" and select from six different tests.

Electronic Flash Cards: http://www.emporia.edu/biosci/span/flshcrd.htm
"The idea behind this project is to mimic, in an electronic format, flash cards as they are used to learn Spanish. The idea with flash cards, is that you look at one side of the card, think of the answer, then flip the card over to see if you were right. On this Web page, this takes the form of displaying one side of the card in one frame and then the answer in an adjacent frame." To practice verb conjugations, first choose a tense then click the verb to flip the virtual flash card.

Los Diablos: http://www.cyberramp.net/~mdbutler/ws-vtables.html
"Los Diablos" (The Devils) are those pesky irregular verbs that must be memorized to master the basics of conversational Spanish. "In Spanish, as in English, some of the most important and most frequently used verbs are irregular. Hence it is necessary to learn how they are conjugated,
primarily in the most common verb tenses -- the simple present and the simple past (preterit). Once these irregular Spanish verbs have been memorized, the rest of your Spanish study will be a relative cakewalk." The devils are presented as virtual flash cards, simply click to flip the card.

Vocabulary Training: http://www.vokabel.com/
This interactive quiz site isn't limited to Spanish, it also includes German and French. Start by selecting English as your mother tongue and Spanish as the language to be tested. First problem: translate "she gives"; you enter "ella da." You can progress through a variety of verb quizzes, as well
as general vocabulary tests. And don't forget to try the quizzes in reverse. To be tested on translating Spanish into English, just choose Spanish as your mother tongue, and English as the language to be tested.

La rentrée scolaire: http://www.cssmi.qc.ca/carrefour_educatif/ressources/banques/septembre.htm
A good site for images, any words are in French.

Ideas for Using Technology in Spanish class:
1. Find an online Spanish newspaper (Latin American or Spanish) and print the headlines for levels 1 and 2 and the whole stories for upper levels. This lets you give the kids real Spanish but it's about current events too--instant interdisciplinary lesson.
2. Go to Altavista's Babelfish translator and have the kids translate phrases into Spanish and/or enter
phrases from your Spanish book into the translator and compare results with your book's translation. This can be done in small groups of 2 or 3 for about 10 minutes each.
3. Have them find email pals at a Spanish speaking school. This works well with older high school kids writing in Spanish to younger elementary kids learning English as a second language. Try Lightspan.com for email pal lists. You can schedule kids email time each day at the beginning or end of class without too much disruption.
4. Use the Internet to find pictures of cultural festivals and collect information on them. Then
create your own Day of the Dead or Cinco de Mayo in class.

English Exercises Online: http://www.smic.be/smic5022/
Though much of this site is designed for adults, children and teenagers who need help with their English will appreciate the number and diversity of activities on this site. Not only does the site include handouts and exercises, but it also offers lesson plans such as
creating dialogues and completing defintions. Exercises are presented as matching, fill-in-the-blank, and multiple choice. The highlight of this site is that it offers links to headline news for practice reading English, so it's challenging and relevant.

Handspeak: http://www.handspeak.com/
Children who are deaf, as well as their classmates and friends, will find use in this site. A very basic primer for American Sign Language, this site shows videos of people demonstrating the hand signs for everything from animals, colors, and places to sports, the alphabet, and numbers. While the signs shown in the videos should be taken with a grain of salt (after all, it's difficult to show something three-dimensional in two-dimensions), they represent a good introduction to the material. The "deaf culture bytes" section discusses the reasons to learn sign language as well as topics like fingerspelling.
Other sites about sign languages:
http://dww.deafworldweb.org/asl/
http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm
http://where.com/scott.net/asl/
http://www.bconnex.net/~randys/index1.html
http://babel.uoregon.edu/yamada/fonts/asl.html

The Internet TESL Journal: http://www.aitech.ac.jp/~iteslj/
Educators will find that checking into this site every month is worth the time. The site includes lesson plans, as well as links to relevant research and innovative teaching techniques, and the content changes monthly.  Students can self-study with quizzes, ranging from scrambles to vocabulary tests to crosswords, or tell some (tasteful) jokes included on the site. The hands-on games include bingo, and the conversation questions
spur conversation on everything from music to death.

WWW for Spanish Teachers and Students: http://www.niles-hs.k12.il.us/north/foreignlanguage/sp/sp.html
This fun (though slightly crammed) site is a good general resource for teachers and students of Spanish. The arts and literature link highlights biographies of famous Latinos, like Diego Rivera. The site also includes countless recipes, for Spanish food and in Spanish, as well as links about holidays in the Spanish-speaking world. Links to sites about Spanish and Latin music include flamenco and pop. The most useful page on the site is a primer about how accents work in Spanish -- and how to create them on your computer.

German WWW Exercises: http://www.home.gil.com.au/~kmunro/g-wwwex/www-exer.html
Don't let the fact that this site starts with a curriculum for 8th graders scare you; it's an excellent resource for any student who plans to stick with German. The topics for
study are progressively tougher every year, staring with issues like money and shopping and ending up with arts and politics. The beginning levels let kids have the answers;
by the time they get to the hardest exercises, they have to do some independent thinking. Exercises include memory games, multiple choice, and simple writing exercises, as
well as more difficult reading comprehension.

American Association of Teachers of French http://aatf.utsa.edu/ 
French teachers have a great starting place here, with a wonderful section called "Teaching French with Technology."  However, this site is about more than technology.  Also covered are ideas for promoting the learning of French and information on Le Grand Concours AATF French Contest. Grade Level: Middle School, High School, College Content Area: Foreign Language (French)

Where Do Languages Come From?: http://www.exploratorium.edu/exploring/language/ provides information on the origins and development of languages.

studies.

Bonjour!: http://www.bonjour.org.uk/
In this very attractive site produced by The Howard School in Rainham, Kent, England, all the content is presented in French. The site includes strong grammar guides, as well
as lists of vocabulary about various topics such as time, weather, and family. Students have access to basic and advanced dialogues. The site also contains material that kids will love to translate, including some of the sentences that Bart Simpson has to write on the blackboard.

The Cambridge School Classics Project: http://www.caecilius.com/
This site provides good supplementary information for students who are learning Latin. The site contains a useful translator, in which students can type in English and retrieve their Latin sentences. Some of the fun activities include a Latin word search (with clues in
English and solutions in Latin) and a caption contest.  The site also contains excellent links.

Common Errors in English: http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/
An indispensable reference for students who are learning English as a second language, this site lists a tremendous number of traps in the language. From explaining the difference between "historic" and "historical" to absolving writers for using split
infinitives, this site catalogs all those head-scratchers in a convenient alphabetical list.

Dia de los Muertes: http://star.ucc.nau.edu/FLI/DDLM/
While it quizzes them on their Spanish comprehension skills, this site also teaches students about the Mexican "Day of the Dead." The activities include two tests that
incorporate holiday vocabulary words as well as basic skills, like math. All the questions are in English, and the site provides a list of the prominent vocabulary words.

Fast and Friendly French for Fun: http://library.thinkquest.org/18783/france.html
This comprehensive French site clues students in to France's geography, people, and holidays. A guided tour is optimal for the serious French student who wants to study
one lesson a day. Lessons begin with French spelling and accents and progress to numbers, gender, and articles. The vocabulary included is basic and useful. While the site
isn't the prettiest to look at, its activities and quizzes will keep students riveted.

Technology Tools for Teaching a Foreign Language
from Copernicus Education Gateway at: http://www.EdGate.com
Teaching and learning a foreign language has never been so challenging or so imperative. Never before has the world been so interconnected culturally and socially. There are
many more students now traveling in student exchanges to explore other countries and cultures.
The need of the hour is to improve the way we teach languages. Improved skills are important both to English-speaking students wishing to learn foreign languages, as well as to students from other countries wishing to learn English.
Emerging technologies have made the task easier. They have virtually created an environment that is almost as exciting as living in another country. In many ways it's even better because the teaching can be focused and controlled. Both written and verbal skills can be equally developed.
Although the Internet is a valuable language-teaching aid, it is not the only resource available. Other computer and multimedia technologies are just as useful and important.
A combination of technologies and applications will perhaps create the best lesson plans. An awareness of the technologies available and an understanding of them is vital if you are going to explore their potential fully.  Newer technologies are emerging constantly and so are the means to acquire an understanding of them.
Here are some thoughts on how to make your foreign-language classrooms meaningful to you and your students:
1. Be a teacher and a student at the same time.  Fast-emerging technologies demand that you be the eternal student. Get savvy before you teach.
2. Explore the world of tech tools. The Internet is a treasure house of useful Web sites, instructional software, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and atlases.  Develop your navigation skills to access these resources. Make sure you are familiar with other technologies as
well.
3. Feel free to do you own thing. Customize your own material to make your classes come alive. If you do not have the necessary programming skills, work with a colleague or an engineer who has.
4. Keep an open mind. Introduce new ways of learning from all over the world. Use ideas from the folklore and folk theater of other countries. Use games, jigsaw puzzles, and plays to help students improve their vocabulary. Use email to improve their written statements. Use audio, video, animation, and other multimedia tools to teach conversation and pronunciation creatively.
5. Stay in touch with the rest of the world. Collaborate with your counterparts around the world to learn of new methods in teaching. More heads are better than one.

Latin Drills On Line: http://www.umsl.edu/divisions/artscience/forlanglit/oldrills/index.html

The entire site, including the "right" and "wrong" notes on the quizzes, is in Latin to provide a feeling of immersion. The exercises are tough, so students will be challenged.

Learning Resources: http://literacynet.org/cnnsf/
An excellent resource for ESL students who don't want to work with the same old picture books, this site also gives them a chance to read real-world stories from CNN San Francisco. All the stories are hyperlinked to expanded discussions of vocabulary and grammar. Students can look at an outline of the story they just read, or they can jump into a reading comprehension quiz. The stories themselves are diverse, covering all kinds of news, science, and human-interest topics, so students can learn about more than just English.

Education World's Foreign Languages Center: http://www.education-world.com/foreign_lang/index.shtml

Hebrew for ME: http://www.zigzagworld.com/hebrewforme/
The future international diplomats in your class may benefit from learning Hebrew. This site assumes that users already know the Hebrew alphabet and jumps straight to vocabulary. Unique Java applets produce a picture from the theme of your choice (such as having breakfast). From a list of given Hebrew words, students click on each word to identify the object it represents and then drag the
object to its appropriate place in the picture. This is a great way to drill words about items in a house, articles of clothing, food, calendars, and numbers.

The Latin Page: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/3773/
Latin isn't a dead language on the Web! This resource was designed especially for middle- and high-school Latin teachers. There are lists of online lesson plans, dictionaries, mythology references, and even a software directory. Have some fun with their pig latin resources, and when your students are tired of drills, lead them to "S.P.Q.R.," an online mystery game about ancient Romans.

Microsoft Word 2000 automatically detects whether you are typing in English,
French, or Spanish, and uses the appropriate spelling or grammar checker for that sentence.

Electronic Flashcards for Spanish: http://www.emporia.edu/biosci/span/flshcrd.htm
This site isn't graphically appealing, but it might be a big help when you drill your students on verb
conjugations, use of correct tenses, verb-preposition combinations, and prepositional phrases. Set up like a typical flashcard, a box on the left-hand side of the screen provides lists of words; click on one and the correct translation pops up in the box on the right-hand side.

Here's a simple vocabulary game for beginning French students. All in French, this game asks students to select a letter from the alphabet. Four images appear and the student must select the image that begins with the letter they chose. If the student correctly guesses the image, a smiley face with the word "gagne" appears, while an incorrect guess yields a frown.

WorldSkip.com: http://www.worldskip.com/
Although this site doesn't help teach foreign languages, it would be an excellent cultural supplement for foreign language courses. Select a country from any of the world's six main regions, and WorldSkip.com will give you links to that country's major news and sports bureaus; business, economy, and currency information; tourism guides; activities, events, and entertainment reviews;
and history and cultural profiles.

Friday was known in Old English as Frigedaeg (Frigg's Day), after Frigg, the wife of Odin and the goddess of the hearth and
married love. The source of her name was prehistoric Germanic frijaz (noble), which was also the source of English free.  The Romans called the day Veneris Dies, after Venus, their own goddess of love. The Greeks before them also named the day
after a goddess of love, calling it hemera Aphrodites (day of Aphrodite).  The Latin name for the day led to modern French Vendredi. The Russians, true to their pragmatic form, call the day Pyatnitsa (five).
Saturday is the first of two days of rest during which many businesses close. Saturday is also the ancient Sabbath day, as
reflected in the Russian name for the day, Subota (Sabbath).   Our word for the day comes from Old English Saeturnesdaeg
(Saturn's Day), which sprang from the Latin Dies Saturni (Saturn's Day).  The Romans named the day after their god of the harvest, a dour and forbidding old fellow in whose honor the extravagantly uninhibited Saturnalia festival was held every winter
The Romans translated their name from the Greek hemera Khronu (day of Cronus), after the Greek god who was said to have been ruler of the universe before he was dethroned by Zeus.
For many modern Christians, Sunday is the Sabbath, a day of rest, although in ancient times the Sabbath happened on Saturday.   Old English sunnandaeg was based on Latin Dies Solis (Sun's Day), translated from the Greek hemera Helio (day of the Sun). The Latin name has carried into many languages. In German it's Sonntag, and in Dutch it's Zondag. Swedish and Danish both have Sondag, but with different diacritical marks. In Welsh the day is Dydd Sul.  The Romance languages changed the focus. In French it's Dimanche (Lord's Day) and the Spanish translation of that is Domingo. The Russians call the day Voskresenye (Resurrection).

Dictionary.com offers a dozen different language translations within seconds: http://www.thirdage.com/news/archive/000117-04.html?std

Seventy percent of all PC users are non-English-speaking, but 80 percent of Web content is in English, according to Babylon.com, an Israel-based developer of instant-translation software.  Recently launched in the U.S., the free Babylon single-click translator can help those who don't speak English cope with the Web by turning English into eight other languages with a click of the mouse.  When you click on a word in any text document -online or off-line-its translation instantly pops up in a window.  The utility currently translates from English to Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish, plus an English to English dictionary.   You can download the 12 MB utility, or you can use it on the Web.
