Transparent Language Free Word of the Day Web Widgets in Italian, German, Russian and Others

My goal is to use this blog successfully for personal language-learning endeavors. To create spaces where I can study and learn. Out of this I hope for a new theory of language learning to develop, something along the lines of the action-oriented language learning stuff I have written here only briefly about.

I found the Transparent Language's free Word of the Day Web widgets, I dug the mix of features, including audio, example sentence and past/present/future conjugations. I'm currently working on Italian, German and Russian (among others that aren't available as widgets) so I have those here. The widgets are also available in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Irish, ESL and Leet.

Verbotomy.com Community for Truly Freestyle English Language Verbiage

Verbotomy Multispacing Example Image

I came across Verbotomy about a week ago and have had fun a few times messing around on the site.

I wanted to add the site here because this is truly a freestyle way of coming up with terms for things currently "termless" in English.

The site takes a humorous tone and many of the users come up with very creative words to describe what is taking place in the many drawings on the site. As an example of how the site works, for the image on the right, I came up with the word "multispacing".

Verbotomy is about creating words. Every day we create a new definition and matching cartoon. Your challenge is to create a word -- a verboticism -- that matches the definition. After you create your verboticism, you can vote for other authors's words to help select the winning verboticism for the definition.

Bravo Verbotomy!
