Website evaluation #3

This is a neat website (www.verbix.com) if you like to explore languages and find similarities between language families. The website says “This site contains verb conjugations for hundreds of languages, ranging from national and international languages to regional and even extinct languages.” You can put almost any verb from many languages and it will conjugate it for you. There’s even a language guesser. Just type or paste in any text and the program will guess the language. That’s not something I need every day but it has come in handy a few times.

This site could definitely have some excercises added to it. However, I think it is doing what they intend -- conjugating verbs. I don't think a lesson could be built around this site, but it could be used by the student to check parts of their work.
