21st February it's the International Mother Language Day launched by United Nations in 1999 and observed since 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.
As an English teacher I love learning and teaching languages. Therefore, I have a special interest in developing in my students some language concern. I also try to work with them concepts as lifelong language learning.
I think that you may agree with this believes and so I have decided to share with you this websites that I have found and that I really like.

Interactive web comics are a great way to engage and motivate students to learn languages. If you're interested in creating comics online, check out Pixton.com.
You can design every aspect of your character, and move it into any pose you want. All you have to do is click-and-drag to change or reposition any part of it - the creative and artistic possibilities are endless!
Our remix feature makes a copy of the comic so you can change it or continue its storyline. Teachers can use this to have their students develop a visual essay, create storyboards, reinvent characters or reinterpret narratives.
Read comics in over 40 languages, with our automatic translation by Google. Language filters, privacy settings, and flagging mechanisms help preserve a safe online environment.
Try it out and let us know what you think, sign-up is free.
thanks,
