Named in honour of one of the most historically renowned hyperpolyglots and a personal hero of mine, Cardinal Giuseppe Gasparo Mezzofanti (1774 - 1849), this site is a small but ambitious project aimed at offering some unique foreign language learning tips from my own experience, travel advice, anecdotes, encouragement and another handy place for like-minded individuals to connect.

Companies will definitely increase revenue if they have their presence internationally in multilingual international languages.

To anyone in this group who happens upon this note/page: I am simply experimenting with diigo and foreign language texts online. Obviously just adding traditional comprehension questions to a text with diigo's floating sticky notes is the easier part/path of least innovation.

Please drop comments and suggestions below!

LANGUAGES AND LEARNING - THE PATH I HAVE FOLLOWED "with my "Languages and Learning" blog at http://amandasalt.blogspot.com I also joined Twitter, although I found it a lonely and pointless activity initially. I now find it to be one of my main sources of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) and also a place where people are generous with their praise and genuine in their concern. A visit to the Isle of Wight for a languages and ICT conference, organised by the amazing Joe Dale (www.joedale.typepad.com), added to my enthusiasm, and as I approach the end of this academic year, I have created a wiki for my pupils (http://spanishingrosvenor.wikispaces.com) and also dabbled with Audacity, Goanimate, Voki, ToonDoo, Animoto and Voice Thread, amongst others.Today I ran workshops on all of these as well as an overview of blogging, Twitter and Diigo."

Translation services are used in various aspects of communication, be it for translating a book into another language for publication, communicating with overseas clients who do not understand English, for creating multilingual websites etc.

When you hire a professional translation firm, you want to build a long-term relationship that will ensure accuracy, consistency and timely translations. I have compiled a list of tips for assessing the skills of a translation company.

Are you interested in Spanish translation services? In that case, you will have a number of choices, because many organizations provide this particular service. Allow me to share some vital things to consider before deciding on the best one to suit your needs.
