Gapfillers News - May 2010

There hasn't been a newsletter for some time and the year is well on its way now.

How is your language learning progressing?

I've been looking again at our resolutions and we have almost completed them - more below!

Our Gapfillers community

Gapfillers membership now stands at almost 2,000 members and more are joining every day. We now have over 5,500 pages of exercises on the site! Many pages have places for you to comment so why not give this a go? We always reply and maybe you might start a conversation!

Online forum.

When we started Gapfillers 3 years ago we ran an online forum. Now that we have many more members we are going to start this again.

It will be held once a week. We will run it at 12.00 GMT on Wednesdays. Our first topic will be Learning English online - the good and the bad! Next Wednesday June 2nd why not pop along to Member Home and join in - see you there!

Click on Gapfillers forum network and join the chat!

We'll post other topics on the calendar.

Youtube and Business related content

You may have seen the Youtube pages 'signalled' on the home page. We have also collected all the business-related pages and these can be accessed in the same way. We realise that with so many exercises it can become difficult to find what you need so we are working on our indexing to help you structure your Gapfillers study.

Tell us how we can improve things for you!

Murder Mystery

The Murder Mystery has been running in April and May. It is almost at an end as two people have already discovered who the murderer is and we are waiting for the Detective Inspector to make an announcement! Our next Murder Mystery will be in the Autumn - check the calender for the dates.

Or you can subscribe to the RSS feed so you know as soon as everything is posted.

Doing the 3/4 exercises that come on the Gapfillers site every day ensures that your English will keep progressing - do 3 exercises (learn word of the day, do the grammar and the news quiz) for 15 minutes practice and 4 (plus the longer daily exercise) if you have a more time!
