If you have google chrome and want to learn a new language I have just come across a lovely add-on

[BellaBearisWideAwake]

via my google reader I found this article lifehacker.com/5907432/language-immersion-for-chrome-teaches-you-a-new-language-while-you-browse-the-web

which is about this add-on chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bedbecnakfcpmkpddjfnfihogkaggkhl/related

which basically translates a proportion of each website you are on into your chosen language! Very cool.

Turns out my French isn't very good though

I wouldn't worry - it might not be so bad. Translation is such a complex process that the output by computers can't really come anywhere near what a human can do...try translating a foreign language website into English and you'll see what I mean!
