Sites We Recommend

Looking for a resource on the web for grammar?  Can't get enough grammar? Need a list of verbs in different tenses?

Lillian Hurst in Geneva, Switzerland has some interesting web pages at:
http://deil.lang.uiuc.edu/class.pages/Structure1/tenses.html

She recommends a grammar site from Ann Salzmann as a wonderful resource: http://deil.lang.uiuc.edu/class.pages/Structure1/Salzmann_index.html#grammar

Have fun!!

"Here is an unusual crossword you might be interested in.  I wanted my students to focus on SOUNDS rather than spellings.  So I designed some crossword puzzles that use phonetic symbols rather that letters. For your benefit I've posted one of them here:
http://webs.tcsn.net/languagebase/crosswrd/frameset.html

I use this kind of activity in a "distance learning" course created for people who are mastering English as a second language but find their natural accent still interferes with communication.  I don't know if you'd like to refer to this as a "cool site" but here is the link to Accent Training - Online:
