Advantages: WExcellent currency converter, Information on languauges, Free emails

Disadvantages: None

www. travlang is a terrific site for both travellers and linguists. There is a very neat converter which you can put on your pc's desktop for use at any time. Just remember, of course, to click on Refresh to make sure it's up to date. It covers all the major currencies and many minor ones, and is simplicity itself to use. You can print out a very useful little conversion chart, and I found these a great help when visiting in quick succession several countries who don't have the Euro. If you are interested, the site has a chart showing the fluctuations over the past year of any currency you select.
But there's a lot more to Travlang than this. They sell language courses of all kinds, and though you can get them a bit cheaper elsewhere you do get a good idea of what is available. There's masses of information about languages. What really appeals to me is a free service they provide. If you register, they will email you every day with a word or phrase in any language you select. At one time, they were sending me the item in four different languages. It's chosen at random, so could be anything, but on the whole I found it very useful. When I stopped, they did not pester me, and I never got spam from using the site.
There's a lot of stuff on the site, but it's easy to navigate, and not too slow.
