links

All together now...

Websites on ideas and websites on learning,
Websites to help you with speaking and earning,
Sites to inspire; to amuse; make you think;
These are a few of our favourite links...

Sorry. Came over all Julie Andrews there. Anyway, these are a few of our favourite places. Some of them are sites run by people we know, love, respect and admire (delete as applicable). Others are run by people and organisations who we don't know from Adam. (In fact, we don't even know who Adam is either.)

It's your choice. Just have a click.

Emergency Yiddish

Never get caught without just the right Yiddish curse or exclamation. Yes, if you don't want to get Tsedreyt in kop (disoriented) and are keen to know your kishkes (stomach/innards) from your tukhes (bottom), you can acquire some Instant Yiddish at: www.koshernosh.com/dictiona.htm This will also transform your understanding of half the American movies you see, and not just the Woody Allen ones.

The cutest dogs in the world

OK, they can't be expected to be cute and clever. And certainly not on top of being the pet pooch of His Highness The Dalai Lama of Tibet.

Splashing out

eBay - how fantastic to have a huge and complex trading structure relying almost completely on trust. And how fantastic to be able to go to one website and be able to find anything from a smoking alien figure to a 1960s pinball machine
