How should we recommend learning material that we found on the internet?

Since before I started with spanishdict.com, I have used some free bi-lingual magazines, that are being distributed by American Airlines on a monthly basis. They are especially helpful, since in their printed form show the articles side-by-side in English and Spanish. It's great to build more vocabulary and I would like to recommend it to everyone here. However, I'm not sure where to post this on the website, hence this entry in form of a question.
The online link to the magazine is: http://www.eaglelatitudes.com/ There are others of similar nature, whose weblinks I can post once you decide where and if it should be posted. thanks.

Usually links to other website's materials are accepted as long as they are free (so as to not be advertising), if they are instructional in nature, and they have something to do with language study. It's one of those things like pornography: easy to recognize, but difficult to define.

If the materials are inappropriate to this site, I am sure that the administration will warn you without resorting to hanging you by your thumbs.

sorry, just tired to be helpful. this is not pornography. it is a wealth of articles in both Spanish and English that could help any student. It does, however, promote American Eagle (airline) as it is produced by them. It is free. - ralf0212, Sep 9, 2009

Also, if you scroll down on the main page you will come to "Nuestras Notas En Español," which feature articles about breast cancer, travel, etc.

I only can see publicity on that website... How can this be learning material?

Even though the content of the blog articles may not be "language oriented" they are presented in both Spanish and English which allows one to learn how concepts are expressed in both languages. - - 0074b507, Sep 9, 2009
click on the link on the right called 'current edition'. you'll find articles in spanish/english. One can practice vocabulary, translation, idioms, etc. - ralf0212, Sep 9, 2009

Exactly, and mind you, he is talking by experience... LOL

Welcome to the forum, ralf, we accept any website which is free, Quentin is right, as usual. If you have a question, as Quentin, he knows everything. wink
