I wonder if everybody has seen this great new section on the site:

Learning resources

I have added the names of all those who should be mentioned as they have all helped create many of those resources.

I would also like to add more links to this section and need to know which threads should be added.

I am thinking about kiwi's threads....Kiwi, you need to create a Reference Article and then I will add the reference article to the page. Cathy also has very interesting threads on the subjunctive.

Please let me know about what should /can/ must be added wink

I don't know if this qualifies as a "Learning Resource", but I'll throw it in anyhow: I think we need a FAQ section sooooo badly!!! smile

I propose a "The Best of Lazarus" section. We could send answers that gave us particular insight to help in the compilation. I know that I'm using him shamelessly in helping to compile the Subjunctive section.

yes, this is a good idea, maybe in sections, like subjunctive threads, or grammar threads divided in categories...please get together with lorenzo and make a compilation, thanks - 00494d19, Dec 29, 2010

1) There should be a "Classic Threads" section, and I would nominate several threads with substantial contributions by lazarus, particularly on the subjunctive, the use of objects and pronouns, and the passive voice.

2) Translations of articles from RAE on similar subjects from Spanish to English (without violating copyrights, of course).

Those threads already feature on the general reference section - 00494d19, Dec 27, 2010
Where? What I see are individual posts without the clarifying questions and followup responses. - lorenzo9, Dec 28, 2010
hmmm, ok, would you like to makee a compilation of the threads you mean and I can include them in the reference section, thanks - 00494d19, Dec 28, 2010
OK, it may take me a few days to find them. An alternative might be to create a new thread category "Classic Threads" that are all closed and can only be put there by admins. - lorenzo9, Dec 28, 2010
great, - 00494d19, Dec 28, 2010

I would have liked to have found a lesson focused on sentence structure in the grammar section. Maybe I was unusually ignorant of such specifics as Independent Clauses, Main and Subordinate clauses - and the three distinct types of those. This is important because one needs to know in order to choose the correct conjunction. I have since found the info elsewhere and probably wouldn't use it much here if you add it, but others may find it useful.

It would also be helpful to have a lesson on syllabification. I suspect that many of us can only make reasonably close phonetic guesses - as is evidently the way some dictionaries illustrate approximate correct pronunciation. Correct syllabification would enable us to always know precisely why and where stress is and should be placed. It would probably help in more accurate pronunciation as well. Although it would be nice to have, visual syllabification of every word in the dictionary on this site would be an unreasonable task to ask of you folks who provide this wonderful learning resource totally free of charge.

Sites like http://conjuguemos.com/home/index.html and http://www.spaleon.com/ are really good for conjugation practice. Conjuguemos has a free portion that has the verbs and also a lot of vocabulary.

Ian, I am talking about already existing threads or interesting topics ...compilations of some kind of learning material - 00494d19, Dec 28, 2010
Oh - I was suggesting something a lot of people would like. - ian-hill, Dec 28, 2010
but that should have been included on the thread Paralee herself opened on what you like to see as new material on the videos....look for that thread and post it there - 00494d19, Dec 28, 2010
Heidita - why would reading material be on video ? - ian-hill, Dec 28, 2010
Great idea, but outside the scope of this thread - BellaMargarita, Dec 28, 2010
Yes Great idea, Ian which would be potentially be a very helpful and useful tool for many people Please pursue it :) - FELIZ77, Dec 29, 2010

I liked very much Galsally's 'Little Prince' idea and have enjoyed a lot with it.

I find listenings really helpful, especially when they are read by well known friends or members of this Forum. For me, it would be great if more people in this community wanted to add their little readings here.

What do you think about having a 'listening section' recorded by ourselves?
