Modern Hebrew Language Resources

I ran across this site today:

http://www.laits.utexas.edu/hebrew/heblang/web_tutorials.shtml

it's very well put together as a series of games to help with vocabulary. You do need to be at the intermediate level to make good use of it though.

For those of you who are beginner's here are some other good vocab building sites:

Russian Modules

I ran across this today:

http://www.russnet.org

They do make you register but it's all FREE so go ahead and sign up.

It has lots of interesting modules. I would say the level of Russian you need to participate would be beginning intermediate and up. Sadly there is no audio but the materials are pretty interesting - covering history, literature, science etc. They give you a short text with a glossary of some of the words then you go through a series of comprehension and grammar exercises related to the text. It is fully interactive so you do know when it is right and wrong etc. A pretty good site and honestly it is really needed. So many language materials are either too basic or too advanced there is a real drought out there for those of us that I would call "tweens." I'm past hi how are you but not sharp enough to take on War and Peace yet.

Looking For A Publisher

I have a podcast called "The Board Game Bard" on iTunes. I've got nearly 100 episodes now. What I do is take words formed during Scrabble games and make short stories out of them. I write in non-metered rhymed lines - just my own personal style. So anyway I'd like to submit the collection to a publisher but honestly I don't know where to start. The reason being it isn't really truly poetry since it isn't metered yet it is all rhymed so not truly fiction so I'm not sure what direction to head in. Any suggestions????
