Skim the site, and prepare a description, in English, of the type of service that's being offered, and how it works. You'll present this to the class today.

We are going to use Jim Breen's WWWJDIC Server to translate Segment 1 from Haroo! Furusato. This dictionary server allows several different look-up methods, and contains a data-base of quite a few dictionaries, including scientific and place-name dictionaries. Please refer to the class handout for the text and for instructions. You can write out the translation by hand or on a word program to print out and turn in at the end of class. Alternatively, you can e-mail me your translation (wehmeyer@aall.ufl.edu).
