Interesting bilingual sites
I'm collecting examples of bilingual blogs and sites. I don't mean just the site with little nationalistic flags - but neat or interesting ways people are doing it.
Nancy White sent me this link to a discussion group running in Italian and English by what must be one hell of a dedicated woman Cristina Grasseni. There's no explanation of the process but I think she invited a "speaker" who put up his text (in English) and people are invited to comment on the text in English or in Italian.
Finally she writes a summary in English and a summary in Italian of the comments that were written in both languages - English and Italian.
If you have ever tried to do anything similar, you will know how much time and effort has gone into this whole enterprise. And if you haven't ever tried to run a meaningful, bilingual online event, then take the age of your grandmother and multiply it by a thousand. That's how much longer it will take than you are imagining!
