I Love Languages!
Well, in case you don’t waste enough time online now, I have another black hole to recommend. Perhaps it’s that misery loves company, or something of the sort, but I just spent way too much time on this site and am hereby inviting you to do the same. Perhaps if we all do it, our clients/employers/spouses will see it as part of a hip trend and forgive our absence from real-world concerns.
The site is I love Languages, and if you can ignore its not-particularly-user-friendly design, it’s a wonderful place to wander around. My own weakness is the linguistics section — I think that if I ever pay off my student loans and can think again about academia, I might study linguistics –- but there are a lot of other and equally wonderful places to explore on this site that bills itself as “a comprehensive catalog of language-related Internet resources.”
The more than 2400 links at iLoveLanguages have been hand-reviewed to bring you the best language links the Web has to offer. Whether you’re looking for online language lessons, translating dictionaries, native literature, translation services, software, language schools, or just a little information on a language you’ve heard about, iLoveLanguages probably has something to suit your needs.
So there you have it. Take some time this week and explore the options and opportunities at I Love Languages. It just might get you … beyond the elements of style!
