楼主是有心人啊，身在国外还能坚持学英语，难能可贵。。。

补充一下，老金认为，每个人对英语的需求阶段千差万别，有些人是学习，有些人想融入（英语社会），更有些人是享受（阅读英文原著、看英文影视）。。。。

楼主所提供的英语资源，介于融入和享受之间，非常高品位，令人称道。老金就补充一些其他阶段的信息，希望有心人能借助这些免费资源，变得事半功倍。

学习阶段的朋友，不妨留意一下旺旺英语，内容非常浩瀚、全面，听说读写什么弱就强化什么。对于母语不是英文的成年人来说，是个全天候的、非常不错的学习工具。

想融入社会的朋友，直接去看英文原文的论坛，谈车、谈菜、谈女人，找自己喜欢的专题乱看，然后再和鬼交谈的时候，你自然出口成章。。。

至于想看原文影视，甚至无字幕看原文影视，那就没什么方法可言了。一般来说，成年人想做小朋友的事情，拧着自然规律做事情，难，也没必要。

Since Reddit.com is too much a hassle to deal with, I'm switching from it to Google Bookmarks, in order to refer to groovy articles that I'd like to share with people.

Here goes my newly inaugurated Google Bookmarks public list: http://bit.ly/cM4XeO . Thanks.

I don't know exactly why. But I always am fond of some of Elliott Smith' songs. You can try these out: http://bit.ly/bAjPxx

Hi, 金圣叹. Thanks for your compliments. By the way, you've got a nice pen name.

Your comments "补充一下，老金认为，每个人对英语的需求阶段千差万别，有些人是学习，有些人想融入（英语社会），更有些人是享受（阅读英文原著、看英文影视）" provided quite an insightful framework to think about the issue. That's nice indeed. I for one like the way you think about the matter. On the other hand, I don't entirely agree with your point of view presented in the last two paragraphs of your comments.

Here's the excellent English learning resources that I personally recommend at http://bit.ly/a8wSSG :


Superb dictionaries:
Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
(See this post for further explanation.)

Really profound stuff:
The New York Times
The Economist
(Regarding the Canadian media, the Globe and Mail is allegedly the best newspaper in English. However, sadly it's way way behind the two media listed above, in terms of profundity. But that's only my personal take.)

Easy or rudimentary stuff, some of which is pedestrian:
BBC Learning English
Feedbooks (I used to peruse quite a few free e-books downloaded from Feedbooks.com on my smart phone, which could be a good option while I was in the loo. But I've discovered that many, if not the majority, of the free "Original Books" are graceless or even outrageously shoddy.)


All right. Way to go, English learners! Good luck and enjoy on.
