Internet Talk Radio started broadcasting in 1993 as the first radio station on the Internet. As part of the museum.media.org effort to rescue some of our past work, we're also maintaining archives of early programs in their original state. Over time, we hope to go back and rescue these archives, but for now we offer them to you the way they looked in the early days of the web. You may find some broken links and some musty audio formats, but we hope you'll find some use for the data in the state they are in until we get around to refurbishing them.

To help you build up your vocabulary I have organised these pages using a thematic approach, this should enable learners to understand the relationship between various words. If you are a beginner I advise you to learn the basic words at the beginning and only move on if or when they have fully understood these words, intermediate and advanced learners should also study the build-up words and dialogues at the end of each section.
Whenever possible each group of new words is introduced using pictures. To see the words associated with the picture place your mouse cursor over the picture. Try it now!

COMMON USAGE PROBLEMS
            This list identifies words and constructions that sometimes require attention in writing projects. Some of the entries are pairs of words that are quite different in meaning yet similar enough in spelling to be confused (e.g. principal, principle). Some are nonstandard usages (e.g. alright)  and informal constructions (e.g. being as=because) that are not acceptable in formal writing.

GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES / NATIONALITIES

This list gives the names of most countries in the world which have a population greater than 1.000.000. Entries in the adjective column tell you which word to use than referring to things that come from or relate to that country. Entries in the people column tell you what word refers to the people of that country. Very often, this word is the same as the nationality adjective, in which case it is not repeated. For example: you would refer to the Afghan capital, Kabul; and someone who comes from Afganistan is an Afghan

Introduction to Sentence Combining

By , About.com Guide

This exercise will introduce you to sentence combining--that is, organizing sets of short, choppy sentences into longer, more effective ones. However, the goal of sentence combining is not to produce longer sentences but rather to develop more effective sentences--and to help you become a more versatile writer.
Sentence combining calls on you to experiment with different methods of putting words together. Because there are countless ways to build sentences, your goal is not to find the one "correct" combination but to consider different arrangements before you decide which one is the most effective.

Speak N Spell
Brief Description:

Mac Version 1.4.0 and Windows Version 1.3.0 add a fifth mode of difficulty. The "Mixed" mode uses all dictionary words.

Speak N Spell was developed to help you practice your spelling abilities.

When you first launch Speak N Spell, the default word set of over 47,000 words is used. You can open the Word Maintenance window from the menu bar and revise this dictionary (add or delete words), use your own set of words (clear the table and add words), or load a plain text file with words. You can also save the word list to a plain text file. Make such a file one word per line and save the file with a ".txt" suffix.

The five levels of difficulty are:

•a. Easy - Uses only words with three letters
•b. Medium - Uses words with four to six letters
•c. Hard - Uses words with seven to ten letters
•d. Hardest - Uses words with more than ten letters
•d. Mixed - Uses all dictionary words
Score is not kept. If you don't understand the word, you can ask to see the word or just ignore that word and ask for another word.

It is suggested that the System Preferences/Speech/Text to Speech Speaking Rate be set for Slow. Experiment with different voices. Vicki is an good Speaking Voice but you can try the others.

The difficulty level and the Dictionary Word set are saved between sessions.

funbrain.com/spell

http://www.funbrain.com/spell/index.html

How to Play:
  • The computer will give twenty sets of four words.

  • Place a check next to the word which is spelled wrong.

  • Spell the word you checked correctly in the box.

  • If you get all twenty problems correct, you can put your name on our leader board.
  • funbrain.com/spellroo

    Welcome to the Argument and Opinion Essay Writing site. Here you will find tips on how to write short argument and opinion compositions.
    This site is aimed mainly at learners of English who have to write 250-400 word essays for IELTS (Cambridge's International English Language Testing Service) or TWE, the Test of Written English for TOEFL. But everyone else is welcome too!
    In these exams, you often have to write 250 words or so in 30 or  40 minutes. It's not very difficult, as long as you (1) don't panic and (2) have a plan.
