Their World and Culture / Russian Language Course on Duolingo

« on: December 20, 2015, 02:34:26 PM »

 Hey, I didn't know exactly where to post this, but I thought it would be a great share for the AP community.

 The language learning website and app, Duolingo, has recently released their Russian course in Beta mode. I believe you can apply as a course contributor for those that already know the language.

Having Fun! / How did you first get into coloring pictures?

« on: September 13, 2007, 03:02:50 PM »

I thought this would be an interesting thread to post,so i`ll start

Well,when i first joined here,i saw the "colorization step by step" thread and looked through it and i thought it was a bit interesting.Then,I checked out the "Colored Pictures" thread and saw some AMAZING artwork and i thought "WOW!This is so cool!I HAVE to start doing this!" Then,I told my dad about it and he said he had a few programs that could do that.So,when we reached his house,he introduced me to some of the programs,i started it and got a bit frustrated but eventually i started working on it.And later that week,before i left to go back to my mom's(my parents are divorced),he gave me a CD for Corel Paint Shop Pro X.But i couldn't download it cause i had a crappy computer back there,but when it was updated,i asked my brother to download for me,since he forgets things sometimes,it took me a few times to remind him but he eventually did it.The downloading was successful and now i`m absolutely obssesed with it.

The Final Chapter / Romanov memorial website

« on: June 14, 2007, 09:43:49 AM »

This website is pretty cool

it shows interior and exterior photos of the Ipatiev house

but there's one section you must check out

click "cellar room" there's a 3-D tour of the cellar room and you use the mouse to move around the room(it's the one that appears red,but it's not red when you do it)

check it out
