Ciao, Roberta Barazza

Portale linguistico http://it.bab.la

2009-06-26T09:55:00.003-07:00

(Ricevo da Letizia Carnevali)

Gentilissima Roberta Barazza,

Le scrivo in riferimento al suo blog in Italian - http://www.in-italia.blogspot.com <http://www.in-italia.blogspot.com/> - che ho avuto piacere di visitare oggi.

Il mio nome è Letizia Carnevali e collaboro attualmente alla creazione ed espansione di bab.la - http://it.bab.la, un portale linguistico ricco di servizi sul tema lingue straniere e apprendimento delle lingue straniere sito nella città di Amburgo. bab.la si fonda su un modello di compartecipazione degli utenti che include 20 dizionari, quiz linguistici, forums, flash cards per l’ampliamento del lessico (anche personalizzate) in 12 lingue diverse.

Il team di bab.la lavora attualmente all’ampliamento dei suddetti dizionari e alla creazione di nuovi. Di recente sono stati lanciati due nuovi dizionari, il dizionario italiano-rumeno, con mio grande orgoglio poiché ne sono la responsabile, il dizionario tedesco-italiano.

Dati i contenuti del suo blog e il pubblico a cui si rivolge, penso possa trovare interessante la mia proposta di inserire un link ai nostri dizionari:

ITALIANO-INGLESE: http://it.bab.la/dizionario/italiano-inglese/
ITALIANO-TEDESCO: http://it.bab.la/dizionario/italiano-tedesco/

ITALIANO-RUMENO: http://it.bab.la/dizionario/italiano-romeno/

Trattandosi di una risorsa gratuita le suggerisco anche di approfittare del nostro widget per le traduzioni grazie al quale i vostri utenti potranno usufruire delle nostre traduzioni direttamente dal suo sito, facilissimo da installare in pochi secondi seguendo le indicazioni riportate al link http://it.bab.la/tools-plugins.php.

Allego due link a due Università che hanno scelto di usufruire del nostro widget per le traduzioni, l'Università di Medellin, Colombia - http://www.udem.edu.co/UDEM/e l'Università di Bacau, Romania - http://www.ub.ro/

Non esiti a contattarmi per qualsiasi informazione. Sperando in un suo positivo riscontro,

Cordialmente saluto

--

Take part in a UK paid internship to improve your English language skills

The paid hotel internships programme is open to students of all nationalities who have at least an intermediate level of spoken English and some work experience in the hotel, hospitality or customer service sector. Paid internships in the

with Eurolingua are an ideal opportunity for both European (EU) and International Students (non-EU) to upgrade their English language skills not only in a classroom situation but also in an everyday working environment. Participants will earn at least the UK minimum wage, the same as other British workers doing the same job, in accordance with British law on National Minimum Wages in the

United Kingdom

.
How do European Union (EU) and Switzerland students join a paid internship in the UK?
Students from the EU Member States or Switzerland do not require a Visa or Work Permit to take up salaried employment in the

United Kingdom

Terms and Conditions for a UK paid internship:

Students must be 18 to 28 years old when they start the programme
Must speak English (Level 5 IELTS on speaking skills; Council of Europe Grade B2)

How do international students (non-EU) join a hotel internship in the UK?
Non-EU students require a STUDENT VISA to enter and work legally in the United Kingdom, granted by the nearest British Embassy. Our paid hotel internships lead to the Cambridge Certificate in Work Experience or the Advanced Certificate in Work Experience.

Bulgarian and Romanian citizens from January 2007 do NOT need a visa for the UK but must enrol on a study and work programme (“sandwich course”) and register with the British Home Office by sending, on arrival at our UK school, a BR1 Form with either their passport or ID card. After the mandatory 4-week course, Bulgarian and Romanian citizens can usually work full-time for up to a year on this basis and also receive a certificate by a nationally recognised examining body. The programme fee for a paid internship in the UK is £GB1270 (full programme).

In a Funk, Italy Sings an Aria of Disappointment

By IAN FISHER

ROME — All the world loves Italy because it is old but still glamorous. Because it eats and drinks well but is rarely fat or drunk. Because it is the place in a hyper-regulated Europe where people still debate with perfect intelligence what, really, the red in a stoplight might mean.

But these days, for all the outside adoration and all of its innate strengths, Italy seems not to love itself. The word here is “malessere,” or “malaise”; it implies a collective funk — economic, political and social — summed up in a recent poll: Italians, despite their claim to have mastered the art of living, say they are the least happy people in Western Europe.

“It’s a country that has lost a little of its will for the future,” said Walter Veltroni, the mayor of Rome and a possible future center-left prime minister. “There is more fear than hope.”
