Welcome to the Foreign Languages page
Foreign languages are taught in all international schools. Most schools teach the national language as part of the foreign language curriculum; many also teach one or more other languages depending on the size of the school and the grade levels offered. Teachers working overseas will often learn at least some of the local language depending on how long they intend to work in that country. Below are links for teachers and students who have the language bug. Some of these sites have audio capabilities which make learning a language online almost as good as being in a language lab.

Aussie Slang ,
is a site that I really love, and I wish that I had found it before
I quit my last job because I was the only American in a school filled
with Aussies. Language was something that we continually had fun with.
Why is this site in the foreign languages page? Because Aussie is a
foreign language for those of us from somewhere other than downunder.
BBC - Languages, is the
homepage for the online BBC language courses for beginners. The languages
offered are Spanish, French, German, Italian, Greek, Chinese and Portuguese.
This site has interactive slideshows and you can learn 10 key words and phrases
in about 20 minutes online. You can test your level with a language gauge.
You need Flash software installed on your machine in order to use this site.
The software is free for downloading.
Foreign Language
Educator Site, has over 50 links for teachers of foreign languages.
Worth checking out to see what's there.
Language Translator
- English to Indonesian, has basic words and phrases for the tourist
and new resident.
Learning Thai Language the Easy
Way, is free and cool. You can learn Thai for free online. This site
has audio so that you can hear Thai which is a tonal language. There is
also a free online guidebook. This is a great site. Now if I just spent
more time in Thailand.
The Indonesian Language,
is a section of the Bali: The Online Travel Guide website put out by Wayne
Reid. While there is no audio on this site, there is a pronunciation section.
You can find words and phrases for common things and situations, numbers,
days of the week, time and a few other things. Very helpful if you are just
arriving in Indonesia for a visit.
The Thai Language,
has phrases, numbers, Thai fonts, grammar, info about tourism, and more.
This is another good resource if you are trying to learn Thai even for just
your vacation.
Web Sites for Foreign Language
Teachers, has a large list of sites for teachers. This is another site
that I have just skimmed. More on it later.
