Summer Plans

Well I don't seem to anything planned for my summer vacation. I might meet some relatives and hang out with my friends, but other than that I might just relax read a couple of books, learn some new subjects. I am planning on taking classes over the summer so I won't take them for my sophmore year like American History and Health. Other than that I might just practice some of the sports I do like tennis, golf, and swimming since they are also recreational sports as well. I just hope that this summer will last a lot longer than the other summers that have already passed. 

Oh well, that is possibly my summer, Anybody else got any big plans for their summer.

The Univerasal Language

There had been an increase in the number of immigrant children in the US that are learning English as their second language for the first time. This has caused school grades K-12 to change the way they teach these immigrants, that opens up a whole new market for tools and technologies that help teach English as a second language. A program called ELLIS teaches English by associating words through the everyday objects that are usually seen, instead of definitions in their first language. These technologies also are accessable on BlackBerrys and PDAs that some of these people might have. Also ICQ and other messaging porgrams have a corrective english program so it also helps the immigrants throught chatting in chat rooms as well.
I think that this is a great step foreward for people to learn a new language in anyway that is accessable to them.
So what do you think about this?
