Internet resources and language learning

Internet resources and language learning one of my pet peeves with the internet is the amount of spam and useless junk that exist connected to language learning. The internet is the largest receptacle of recylced information in the world.

I created a site Polish grammar or love phrases. These pages required a tremendous amount of work. It’s free and valuable. However, many pages that come up on a Google search are short bits of recycled information. They speak generally rather than specifically about what you want to know and their real purpose is to act as a doorway to a commercial language site. There is nothing wrong with making money, however, offer something of unique value for free and this will benefit everyone.

When I search the internet for language leaning resources I usually do not use generic searches such as ‘learn Polish‘, rather, concrete. For example ‘Polish grammar‘ or ‘Guttenberg project French language books’ or ‘polyglots who spoke Italian and how they learned it’. Specific searches yield better quality results as they are indexing text, rather than a cleverly optimized keyword.
