Similar & Opposite Words
In today’s complex world, children’s futures are determined by their ability to master the basics of reading, science, math and computers. Yet costs, class sizes and other issues often prevent children access to quality online learning that can support and reinforce these essential skills.
Our vision is to be the source for childhood learning on the Internet – available from anywhere and without charge. Established in late 2004, e-Learning for Kids is a global, nonprofit foundation dedicated to fun and free learning on the Internet for children ages 5 - 12. We offer free, best-in-class courseware in math, science, reading and keyboarding; and we’re building a community for parents and educators to share innovations and insights in childhood education.
e-Learning for kids
These kids holiday activities help us to keep children of all ages busy during school holidays.

Hi! My name is Paul. But people like to call me Paul E.Glott. When I was born I was a sweet & ordinary kid, Mom uses to say. And One day, a pile of bilingual dictionaries fell on my head. Since that day, I can’t stop playing with words from language to language. I just like to speak them and share that with my friends who frequently come at home. Welcome to you too! Enter my multilingual funny world and let’s talk together!

Voice of America TV with subtitles
The U.S. switch from analog to digital television broadcasts on Jun. 12 and yesterday was a truly historic day in my city, Zaragoza - Spain, because we also saw the end to more than 60 years of analog broadcast of television signals.
But there are still million homes that haven't made the DTV switch. Some might actually opt to take their time, make do with a book or watch some Internet TV channels, like this:
Voice of America Special English TV. For students and teachers.
The Roots of Special English: The goal is to communicate by radio and TV in clear and simple English with people whose native language was not English and are not fluent in English.
Three Elements Make Special English Unique:
- It has a core vocabulary of 1500 words.
- Writers use short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. They use active voice. They do not use idioms.
- Broadcasters read at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of standard English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are fluent English speakers understand complex subjects.
