HI FOLKS, here you can find some great links to inspire the use
and learning of the English language.
LISTENING/ SPEAKING/ READING/ WRITING/ENTERTAINMENT
The best site on Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology. Excellent
to check (or learn) pronunciation of texts in several languages, including
English. HIGH QUALITY.
One can find talking cards to insert your own messages.
Techno music to insert voice
words. COOL!
Topics for discussion and Plot Summary, from many
movies. The dialogs contains a lot of useful,
colloquial English. Loved it.
Kim Aronson video production with samples of video he produces. Some of
them with subtitles.
A very famous site with lots of stuff for teachers and students.
Top speeches (
Texts and video ) of the most famous speeches from movies and politicians. (
Martin Luther King, Citizen Kane, Nash in A Beautiful Mind….)
Ana gives excellent tips on vocabulary, TOEFL, English
for traveling, among other things. I had the opportunity to watch one of her
lectures in São Carlos years ago ( (actually, many!) She´s a great speecher.
Idiomatic Expressions, common mistakes, humor,
translated jokes and so on.
Indicated by Elizabeth Pow, an interesting site to
practice speeches after watching to a small
video with subtitles. After speaking, you will get a grade. Search for “videos”.
There are more than one thousand, including Steve Jobs, Angelina Jolie, History
of Superman, Ads, trailers, interviews and the latest news.

I haven't seen all the videos and reports from the blog, but bit by bit I'll be visiting it. I saw that you mentioned many web sites above, to learn and improve English skills, and I will try to use them. Moreover, I know some different web sites and videos from YouTube that are very interesting. If you want to them, just let me know that I'll send the links to you. Hugs! George.
