Word Steps is a resource for learning the vocabulary of choice in nine different languages. It is free to sign up and to use. This website can be used by an instructor in a language arts or foreign language class. The user can select the language to be learned and there are six different types of practice activities for each set of vocabulary words. Each set of vocabulary words is called a dictionary in Word Steps (interesting). One can use dictionaries (words) created by other Word Steps users or one can create his/her own dictionary (words). The website is easy to use and navigate through. The website could be use with or without creating an account.

This is a great tool for students learning a foreign language. I personally used it for 2 years in my Spanish class in high school and it helped me a lot! It's a great way for students to practice their conjugations. There is a suggested fee of $35; however, if your school truly cannot pay, you can send them a note saying so and can use the site. There is also a contact us page available for support. Graded activities and games available in Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Latin. This would probably be most effective if used with middle school to high school students in a foreign language class. It is very user friendly and the quality of the content is great. I think this site would be very appealing to students because it is simple and easy to use. I believe that it is an effective way to skill and drill while still being interesting.

Professional organization for teachers of world languages. Has a lot of free resources, membership is required for job searching and advanced services
