So sexy to be true

Although she looks like a model, she is an expert on Philology. I quote: "My name is Marina Orlova and I am a philologist (one who studies linguistics and etymology). I love to discuss the origins of words.". No doubts, right? Although her dream was to become in a super model, the point is that she is quite beautiful but she's not tall enough as a supermodel should be.

Marina Orlova is one of the most popular philologist all over the world (and the most intelligent too!) Why so? She uses her beauty to teach something that most of the human beings won't be interested. She puts much effort on her work, judge by yourselves.

I have nothing else to say just visit her sites, you may find someting more than a beautiful girl there.

Let us talk about my personal nightmare: Phonetics

I thought that this resource could be missing; but, much to my surprise it is still working. It belongs to Iowa University and its name is "Phonetics Flash Animation Project". Its porpuse is to show phonetics theory from a different perspective, by using animations in order to ilustrate the way we produce the sounds in a language ( American English, Spanish and German are available), making the experience of learning phonetics less boring and more dynamic and enjoyable.

Phonetics

I must thank to them for providing us such tool, in my personal experience it help me a lot during my Phonetics courses, now I will spread the voice for everyone to use it.


Merry Xmas to all!
