    Hi Big Dog

    I think that the resources section must have some clear threads, for example for each language a clear thread. The icon can be the country's flag (or one of this for the mulitple countries).

    To find a list of resources for your target language would be great I think.

    Then the language resources must be spearate of the other resources as well. At the moment, the resources section is muddle up.

    Then each langauge can have:
    • Resources thread
    • Practise in the language thread
    • Ask questions about the language thread
    They must be in clear locations as well.

    What you're suggesting sounds like Unilang. I prefer HTLAL's format. But as a compromise, if you and others want to create master threads for resources of specific languages, I'll be glad to make them sticky.

    No I don't mean like another forum at all.

    I mean that we have a nice Spanish resources list now, and it would be great if this were always easy to find, and also then easy to find the thread for practise this language and also for ask some questions. Then, the same for other languages.

    On htlal I had no idea how I can find the resources for a particular language, and also all the languages except English were together in one place but not used. I think that it's a pity to not have more discussions in the other languages. Anyway, all the people there say that htlal is a great resource, but I didn't understand why or how. I visited for practise my languages, but on polydog it's nice to have the resources list I think.

    If I'm the only person who would like to see the resources like this of ocurse don't create this, it was my suggestion because I never know about resources and I haven't books or resources at all, only reading online.

    Thanks for making this site. How do I do a quote here?
    Dude, please don't make this site like Unilang. Trust me, things are much harder to find there. I mean, it's ok if you are after one specific language, but otherwise forget it.

    Why the obsession with unilang?

    I only suggested that to have languages resources would be useful if they are clear, and that a thread for ask questions and also practise the language is good as well.

    Welcome Lance Manion! I'm thinking some sticky threads will do the trick, so no worries. kcra - I made your Spanish resource thread sticky. Any others?

    Thanks. :)

    If people make a thread with the resources for another language then it would be great if this were a sticky thread also. maybe the others don't agree, but I think that the resources are extremely useful and the threads with a long list must be easy to locate.

    Also, the non English section can have clearer languages sections I think. Then all the conversations in a particular language are in the section. I don't know if the others agree with this as well, but I like the things when they are clear (bit stupid person, and quickly overwhelmed).

    Before other person say don't make polydog like unilang, IT IS NOT LIKE UNILANG.
