Two weapons for learning English: RSS searcher and wiki
I have recently found that these two things can help have a lot of help to learn the local language of a place. By the following, if you feel reasonable, please try:
1. How do I use the RSS searcher to learn an English speaking word?
Method: Establish a search with Feedster, for example, my interest is to learn some of the local spoken English in Australia, I encountered a word "banana bender" in the past few days, refers to Queensland people in Australia. In order to understand this word, I use Feedster.
Established a search and used
BLOGLINES subscribes to the RSS of this search, so I can continue to learn this word. Once someone uses this word in Blog, I can learn its usage, it's more cultural content. It is easy, through a few days of tracking of this word, I know its usage, it is not a very common usage, and other things related to it, such as people in other states, there are similar "nicknames", such as South "Crow Eater" in Australia.
Through this method, there are two benefits: First, we are not learning this kind of death, we have learned the language of living, this is from the latest things in life, usually, you learned It is something that appears on the same day. This is like the words of listening to real people. The full spoken language of the blog language will make Blogshpere be the best place for my second foreign language to learn oral English. Second, we are not studying a word isolated, we learn: usage. This, as long as you start with this method, you will experience it. From a very localized language, we will be very surprised to discover, we will not be satisfied with this word, and will not be self-righteous for two days. This word deletes this subscription, because this approach allows you to enter an endless spoken environment from one word. If a word does not appear, you can conclusion: This word may have died in the language of this nation.
Take the above, I subscribe to "Banana Bender" as an example. After a few days, the experience made me discovered: First, as long as the person used this word in the log, there is no exception to Australian locals, second, from these people Other words start to establish more subscriptions, can gradually establish a rich local language library.
This may be very helpful for spoken language to learn local, but I don't feel uncomfortable, because the results you searched are not typical.
2, use Wiki:
This is completely human role. For English, Wikipedia is built.
Learning materials for multiple local languages, such as
Australia English is an entry maintained by local people, apparently it is still fast, focusing on these entries and discussions, of course, will be a good learning way.
