Getting started
There is a brief description of each resource – except for those that need no introduction.
Our criteria for selecting exercises :
the objective is learning and understanding (that is, they’re not just tests of knowledge), images, graphs, examples and/or other ways of leading to understanding are included, immediate feedback is given to each question, the context is as realistic as possible, they are interesting and fun to do. The links lead to resources as directly as possible. The links are to pages rather than to sites.
About Search Engines
Use these to find the name of the person or the subject you want to find on the Internet. Type in a name or phrase and the search engine will give you a list of sites. Be as precise as possible or you will get lost in hundreds, and even thousands, of answers. Google is probable the best search engine at the moment.

What are Podcasts?
Wikipedia : “A podcast is a series of digital-media files which are distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and computers. The term is a portmanteau of the words “iPod” and “broadcast”, the Apple iPod being the brand of portable media player for which the first podcasting scripts were developed. Such scripts allow podcasts to be automatically transferred to a mobile device after they are downloaded.”

Exercises to help you understand English grammar.
Grammar doesn’t mean learning rules by heart, it means understanding and feeling how the language is structured. Small children learn the grammar of the language(s) spoken around them because it is contextualised by what they see and hear. The grammar exercises selected here aim to make meaning clear in a similar way through the use of images and concrete examples.
