The BBC learning english. A nice initiative

This English learning site is brought to us totally free (well, of course there are ads) by the famous BBC. Although it may not be a complete academic compendium on english, it has some very nice features, such as the flash games which i really liked. This is a potential tool that could be used with more efficiency in the future on local schools, because they're not that hard to design and program.
On the other part, refering to the videos. Series like "the teacher" or the "flatmates" are a bit different of what i'm used to see on audiovisual exercises. And they have that touch of humour (or humor, i don't know if we're sticking with British or American spelling) that enhances the overall learning experience, so that's another thumb up for them.

Here are some links to different free resources given by Cambridge University at different levels:

Hope they're useful, peace.
