The title of this blog has the meaning of forcing me to think English as a programming language so that I can learn it as well as programming languages.

I have started English lesson since last Saturday. I had found myself that my listening skill of English is so poor. It's necessary to do strong effort.

I have also started to listen ESL podcast. That is very easy to listen, because the speakers speak very slowly and clearly.

Nice link.

I am Spanish, and I am also learning English. English is easy to read but difficult to listen, like all languages.

If you know more sites for help to listen English, please share it!

I also write a computer graphics blog in English: http://vmuriel.wordpress.com

Nice to meet you, Vito! And thank you for leaving a comment. I am very exciting to get an opportunity to talk with other learner of English who is living in foreign country. Besides he is also interested in computer graphics too. Very very interesting. Viva the internet! I am glad to see you. I have just subscribed your blog via the Google Reader.

My tool for learning English is a dictionary mainly. The Cambridge learner's dictionary is always beside me. Since I have used to read many papers and articles about computer graphics written in English, I can read English with no problems. But listening is too bad :-p

Does anyone know how to master listening efficiently?

Hey Genki, thanks for your subscription.

I read many cg books/papers too, no problem with that. For listening, my main technique is to see films in original version (English) with English subtitles. It is fun and educational. The next level would be to see them without subtitles.

A great site is www.wordreference.com, it has the pronunciation for many words and a great forum for strange sentences.

Certainly, s21g blogs are great, where can I find their principal characteristics?. I have found very little information about it.

Hello, Vito.

Thanks a lot for good things. Let me try to search the original version of films with English subtitles. Sounds exciting.

www.wordreference.com is also great. I had never seen such sites having forums.

And thank you so much for mentioning about s21g blogs. This is our free blog system being under beta testing. s21g is very small company founded at last year by me and co-founder. Please feel free to try it. I am sorry about there is nearly no documents. I will prepare them soon.

I will wait filled of enthusiasm these documents.

Actually I use Wordpress, but if your blog is here to stay, I will pass my actual blog to s21g site.

I learned LaTeX some time ago, it would be fantastic to be able to take advantage now. Syntax highlight for code is superb and use Markdown for to produce html is very easy to learn and very handy.

Something very important are the statistics of visits: totals, by post, and so on.

... and thanks to you and Hibi for making a blog for engineers minds.

Oh, really? That's great!

I will start equipping documents and making a statistic analyzer.

Thanks for your suggestion!
