Read a word a hundred times - with luck you might remember it.Say a word ten times - you could remember it.USE a word correctly two or three times - you'll remember it.Words 'learnt' from lists just end up in your passive vocabulary - OK for reading or listening. Words learnt because you know how to use them (and pronounce them!) are in your active vocabulary - and this is the important one.

The reply is good. But I can't ask questions in the morning. It is not convenient.

Assignment 9 -- comments on some online open courseware

MIT opencourseware is convenient. It has many useful information.
I like it because it has not only video but also some practice assignments.

Academic Earth has many video from many school. It is good.
But it has not practice assignment. It is bad.

OpenCourseWare Consortium is hard to use. I think.

TED is good. It has many interesting things.

Top 100 speeches has many mp3 to download.It is very good.
