    At the circus, I would assume that they had a contract allowing them to use the music, but it also required them to make their best efforts not to allow recording.

    Their best effort, of course, was to ask people not to record, and then they didn’t need to bother doing anything else.



  • I would recommend using Language Transfer.

    It has courses for about 10 languages. All of them are sets of MP3 files, about 10 minutes each. You can download them from soundcloud, listen via YouTube, or install the simple but very effective app.

    I think you would be shocked at how natural and effective this system is. I have been using it to learn Spanish as my fifth language, and it is easily the best language acquisition system I have ever used short of living in the target country. It explicitly avoids and discourages memorization.

    It’s completely free, but the creator asks for donations to cover his expenses. Believe it or not, one man has created courses for French, Spanish, German, Italian, Greek, Turkish, Arabic, Swahili, and recently Japanese.









  • I find Drupal just as easy to set up as wordpress. Most shared web hosts have a script to do everything for you, including installing updates. In fact, I find Drupal’s administration more logical and easier to manage. (I may be biased, since I spent 10 years developing Drupal sites.)

    The other advantage is that, unlike WordPress, Drupal themes and plugins (the Drupal term is “modules”) are almost all open source and free. I find that WordPress has lots of plugins that give you the basic version for free, but then want to upsell you to a paid version.
