Thanks for your great blog! You provide lots of wonderful information.
I will often return to your site and learn new things. Some months ago I started to learn spanish. During learning I encountered and bought a great software course to improve my spanish skills. Maybe you know the rocket spanish languages software. It is a very helpful programm. I even wrote a review in my blog about it because I can really recommend it.
