AWAD - talpa by Wordsmith Org

Today's word is talpa.

NOTES: Because a mole burrows under the earth, the word came to be applied to a growth under the skin: a cyst or a tumor. The other mole, an over-the-skin pigmented spot, is from Old English mal (a spot), though the word talpa is also sometimes used as a synonym for this mole.

AWAD - gowk by Wordsmith Org

Today's word is gowk. Cuckoos don't get no respect. Don't know what this fine bird did to deserve such opprobrium. The bird isn't known to stare awkwardly either. Sure, it lays eggs in others' nests, but that doesn't count as foolishness.It may have something to do with its monotonous call.

If you were ever sent on a gowk hunt, you have been had. Or maybe it was just April Fools' Day. A rock that just stands and stares is also called

a gowk, though Milton may have a more favorable opinion of such a rock.

NEW!

In addition to providing our main island as a free resource, we now have a second island which can be used for special language or culture related events such as presentations, workshops, seminars, roundtables, conferences, demos, concerts and parties!

Our new "Paradise Island" can be used free of charge by anyone who needs a private or public space for a large event (maximum 20 avatars). We gladly provide additional support and resources on an as needed basis. We can also modify the look and feel of the island to help create the ideal atmosphere for your event.

*To reserve and make use of Paradise Island, simply send an e-mail to info@virtlantis.com or contact Kip Yellowjacket or Abraxas McAndrews in-world.*

VIRTLANTIS is a non-profit project of the Oxford School for English, a private language school located in Germany and Austria. It is also a collaborative effort which includes language teachers and learners from all over the world.

Random Snapshots @ VIRTLANTIS (7) by Kip Yellowjacket

VIRTLANTIS is a free resource and open community of practice for language learners and teachers in the virtual world of Second Life®. We offer free informal language learning activities for a growing number of languages including English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, etc. All of our activities are offered free of charge by volunteer language teachers and/or native speakers.

Everyone is welcome to offer a language activity at VIRTLANTIS. We provide free resources and ongoing support. We also collaborate with and promote other language communities in Second Life.

In addition to our main island and the various social meeting points at Knowingly, we have additional locations which can be used when needed.

If you are interested in participating in any of our current activities or would like to offer your own language activity, feel free to contact us in-world, on Facebook, on Skype or via e-mail: info@virtlantis.com.
