Setting up your browser to aid learning

Your browser is your friend and it can help you in several ways. This post is about having some useful tabs set as your part of your homepage. I currently have few work tabs at the front (office diary, google mail, twitter, scrybe) followed by el pais, el mundo, and diccionario de la lengua español

The news sites mean that you have spanish news reading material ready to read at your fingertips any time you get a spare moment. I found that having the facility to scan spanish news stories every day (particularly the international sections) really helped improve the speed of my spanish reading - because you'll probably have a reasonable grasp of the main international news stories in your own language, you'll not need to look up so much vocabulary.

While I was learning the irregular verbs and the verb tenses I also had Compjugador set on a tab. This is a great resource for checking verb conjugations (it has over 10,000 verbs) - I'll post some more about this later.

To set a multitab homepage in Firefox simply set up you r browser tabs how you want them, and then go to Tools-->Options and click the 'Use Current Pages' button
