REVIEW:
This website comes from Rivendell International Communications which set up this site "in the hope of all people developing a better understanding of others through the use of language". The site is divided into listings for online language courses, from Arabic to Welsh (even includes Esperanto), online dictionaries (these range from Afrikaans to Zulu) and online language chat forums for conversing in other languages. The "Around The World" section has links to resource pages of information on countries around the world. In addition to the links listed here, most sections also have links to additional resource sites. This is an excellent resource site for teachers and students of foreign languages and ESL.
