Google Alerts as a language learning tool

Google Alerts, according to its Web site, are "email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic". See the link below for a complete description.


This little free tool can be useful for language studies. You can, for example, create alerts for terms like "language learning", "Spanish language" or "learn German for free". The Web sites or blogs contained in these email alerts may include tidbits of your target language like "word of the day" or language learning products that might suit your needs. One of the alerts I received included a video that taught me some vocabulary in Spanish about sexuality, for example.
