Recherche logiciel pour se perfectionner en anglais

Salut à tous,

Voila, parce que je pars à Dublin début février et que mon niveau en anglais est un peu faible à mon goût.
J'ai donc besoin d'entraînement.
Je pensais aux genres de logiciel (sous windows) qu'on avait au lycée avec lesquels on parlait au micro face à l'écran..
Vous avez des pistes ?

Merci d'avance

Re : Recherche logiciel pour se perfectionner en anglais

Dublin début février... c'est un peu tard pour faire des progrès . Je ne sais pas le niveau que tu as en anglais, mais vu le temps qu'il te reste, je te conseille simplement de bien revoir la structure des phrases, l'usage des temps, et les verbes irréguliers. Car pour comprendre ce que l'on te dit ou pour t'exprimer simplement, ce sont les premières choses à bien connaître. Le reste suivra en immersion.

Un autre « truc » pour se préparer à l'immersion (en tout cas moi ça m'aide), c'est de se parler à soi-même en anglais dans la vie de tous les jours. Quand tu va aux toilettes, tu dis "I'm going to the toilet", quand tu vas au lit, tu dit "I will go to bed because I have to wake up early tomorrow", quand tu descends les escaliers, tu dis "I'm going down the stairs". Quand tu ne sais pas comment le dire, tu regardes dans le dico ou tu demandes à quelqu'un qui peut t'aider. Tu fais ça tous les jours avec de petites variantes.

Pour revenir sur le topic, je n'ai jamais vu de logiciels de qualité pour Linux tels ceux que l'on trouve pour Windows (pour l'apprentissage des langues, entendons-nous bien ). Mais il y a peut-être moyen avec Wine...

Ce que j'utilise sous GNU/Linux :

1. Le dictionnaire http://www.wordreference.com via un script :  http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=80544#p673701
2. J'écoute des radios avec ce petit script, il y en a d'autres à http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk :

Re : Recherche logiciel pour se perfectionner en anglais

Hey, I thought I'd let you know I modifed your script to run in PHP so I could stream music through my home server (or my laptop).

Keep in mind that the user running the server has to have rights to play audio. For apache on Ubuntu, I had to add www-data to the audio group.

I'm still working on the look and feel, but here it is.
