Do you need more sources of information ??

Sometimes is difficult to learn a new language. Mainly when we do not have where to find written or spoken materials in this language. But things changed nowadays, mainly after the internet invention. And a good prove of that is the number of websites. On websites you can find all kind of news from almost all places in the world. It happens because people want to make their voice heard all over the place. Doesn´t matter if it is for a good or bad reason. Anyway, fortunately now we have the opportunity to get news from all places at the same time and with this improve our learning of a foreign language.
To help you with this task with english I´m posting now some websites I usually go for news and useful information.

Here they are:
- Independent media center
- Independent media center Brasil
- Hindu Times
