If you say that something is on the tip of your tongue, you mean that you are not able to recall it at present.  Help is now at hand.

Chirag Mehta has developed a programme called tip-of-my-tongue to help us find a word that we’ve been thinking about all day but just haven’t been able to locate.  A lovely little web tool!

My favourite  “Quick and Dirty Tips”.  Read the transcript, play or download…

The Telegraph has a nice collection of funny signs with (sometimes) very strange translations.

Here a list of sites which offer video clips with subtitles:

Yappr.com – with categories such as cartoons, music, films, business, etc.  and a  “clear voice” option if you find a video too difficult to understand.

Lingual.net – watch a movie, check the script, and test yourself afterwards!

ESLVideo.com – watch the movie and then answer the questions!

Enjoy!
