This language section is where the peculiarities of the English language are pondered, including tongue twisters, as well as testing your foreign language vocabulary.
Contemplation of the bizarre and confusing irregularities of the English language, with some of its many traps to fool the unwary. Never complain about learning a foreign language again.
A light-hearted look at some difficult-to-say tongue twisters, in both English and German.
For those learning a foreign language, the vocab section includes a fun multiple-choice tester game for German or Polish words.
For those looking for a good read, there's a host of world-class reading material available online, of all strands and flavours, and it won't cost you a penny. Forget about buying "digital books" in obscure formats from the internet, just download a plain text file for free, and do what you want with it. Put it on your palmtop to read on the train, print it out and read it in the park, search it, cut and paste it, whatever. And once you've done that, you can join the queue for the eventual arrival of readable electronic paper, the ideal medium for this stuff.
So what is this free library? It's called Project Gutenberg, it's run by volunteers, it's got hundreds of classics available for immediate download, and because all the copyrights have expired (or the texts were never copyrighted), it's all free and all above board. You won't find any of the latest bestsellers, but you can get all those great works of literature you always thought you should read, like for example William Shakespeare, Alexandre Dumas (my personal recommendation), maybe some Oscar Wilde or Sherlock Holmes or ... the list goes on. There's a host of excellent stuff on there, just have a look at their site.
Another good source of information and material is the excellent Wikipedia, from which for example you can find a host of Short Story Authors, or just search the Wikipedia for other authors or books.
