Matt Alberts weekly@webcom.com
We're back to normal after I have had an excellent week
finishing things off at work. Bad news however, there will be
no issue on Friday. I will be at the Internet Expo in Chicago

Education
Spanish Language Schools in the Americas
Cultural and gastronomical immersion are invaluable tools
in learning Spanish, and I recommend traveling south to
learn the language. There are wonderful schools in
Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador and
Peru. This directory has just been updated - and if
anyone has a school to recommend, let me know!

Focusing on Words
An essential element in anyone's education is the
understanding of a great number of words. Focusing on
Words (http://www.wordfocus.com) challenges users with a
vocabulary program which will provide a greater
understanding of words by presenting
thematic-etymological materials and fascinating word
histories based primarily on the many Latin and Greek
elements used in English. Not only is information
(definitions) provided, but each exercise, quiz, and test
can be scored (graded) on-line within one or two minutes.
In addition to the vocabulary studies, there is an
extensive presentation of time systems (calendar
histories). This is the serious distance-learner's
opportunity to expand his/her vocabulary skills by going
to the web site at for this free course delivered by
Focusing on Words.
