It allows you to search for real-world translations of a word or phrase between two languages. These results are derived from high-quality human translations and allow you to see the context in which the words are used in a foreign language, helping you to choose the most appropriate translation. Parasaurus Rex, a powerful paraphrase finder, uses databases of approved translations to find alternative expressions for words and phrases in Arabic. Lingo's system currently supports English to Arabic, Arabic to English, English to Chinese, and Chinese to English translations. More language combinations will be available in the future.

Creative Commons (Digital Resource Library).
Creative Commons is an excellent resource for teachers trying to find authentic, uncopyrighted digital material. Material is categorized by audio, images, video, text and education (including lesson plans). Some items found may contain restrictions on their use such as for education only or not-for-profit use only. Creative Commons also allows people to submit their own original works to the site. Jisyo means dictionary in Japanese
With PopJisyo site, users type in a URL for a site and it opens within a frame of PopJisyo. Then, while a user hovers the mouse over a word, a pop-up of the word and lexical support is provided. There are over 10 dictionaries to choose from including Japanese->English, Japanese-> German, English->Korean, and English->Websters English dictionary. This site works really well with reading the news in various languages. Double-clicking words you come across adds them to your 'word list' so it is easy to study them later. D.Film MovieMaker
Create Short Story Movies! Although not originally intended for language learning, D. Film Moviemaker is a Flash-based site which lets users create short movies. This is done by selecting the background, the sky, the characters, how the characters meet, their dialogue (which appears as text in cartoon bubbles), and finally background music. My experience with this site in the classroom has been extremely positive with students creating some original, creative short stories with this site. Excellent for task-based projects. Rikai means 'understanding' in Japanese and is very similar to PopJisyo
In fact, they share many of the same functions. While PopJisyo used to be inferior to Rikai, over the past few years Rikai has become inferior and very distracting with dating ads, but it still remains an effective glossing tool between English, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish. Digital Storytelling
