20+ Ways to Learn a Language Online Earlier today we mentioned a plugin for AIM that would translate what you type on the fly into another language. That's an exceptionally useful tool, but the far more fluid and accurate way to speak to people in another language, is to actually learn the language. Thankfully, there are a wide variety of ways to learn languages online, many of them available for free. Below is a list of more than 20 ways you can go from knowing how to say "Hello" to fluency.

Erase Temp After helping people with computer problems I discovered that many computers had a lot of old temporary files. This wastes space on your hard drives and could be a stability problem. One solution to this can be to just delete them in Autoexec.bat but some installations depend on files in the Temp directory to finalize an installation. A simple delete could make these apps to stop working. That’s why we started working on EraseTemp. If you just run the application it deletes everything older than one day in the Temp folder(s). Here are the command line arguments: EraseTemp.exe [/Temp] [/Dump] [/Path:"C:\Temp"] [/Path:"C:\Temp|D:\Clean Me"] [/SubFolders:"C:\Download"] [/Days:2] [/FilesToKeep:3] [/KeepFolders] [/KeepReadOnly] [/NoSub] [/IgnoreLastAccessed] [/HideSkipped] [/RegEx:".*\.txt"] [/KeepRegEx:".*\.txt"] [/Log:"C:\Log.txt" [/LogDate]] [/Minimized] [/Silent] [/NoClose] [/DelayClose:10] [/NoUpdateCheck] [/NoDisclaimer] [/Test] [/?] You will need to have .net framework installed.
QuestBase: crea e pubblica questionari, quiz e verifiche. ALLA CORREZIONE CI PENSA LUI! Come realizzare una verifica strutturata o semi-strutturata per i propri alunni, con la possibilità di stamparla o di assegnarla online e, in quest’ultimo caso, di visualizzare gli svolgimenti e i risultati? La risposta è QuestBase, sito che ho appena scoperto grazie alla gentile segnalazione di uno dei creatori, Paolo Mugnaini. La registrazione è semplicissima e gratuita; il sito è rivolto a istruttori e formatori che possono così certificare l’apprendimento di candidati e dipendenti, agli insegnanti che vogliono valutare velocemente gli studenti e ai ricercatori che intendono ottenere informazioni e risultati in poco tempo. Una volta registrati, si può procedere in modo intuitivo (come ho fatto io, dal momento che l’interfaccia grafica risulta secondo me estremamente chiara) oppure seguire le dettagliate istruzioni presenti sul link “Impara ad utilizzare QuestBase” e, in caso di ulteriori dubbi, accedere al forum dedicato.
