----Susanna Zaraysky learned foreign languages like music. She's written a book, Language is Music, with tips on how to learn foreign languages using music and the media. Thanks to music, she speaks seven with perfect or almost perfect accents!

Web based foreign language lessons

Recently, I found the following Internet-based lesson plans that were created for foreign language classes by participants in the Technology Workshops of the California Foreign Language Project and the California Language Teachers Association.

I think these are helpful for both language learners and instructors.
