Free Language Lesson Links URL Scenario

This is what I am thinking thus far as a url scenario for the Free Language lessons link resource pages - the strange name that came out for the pages that will link to the existing quality resources online for learning a given language. German is used as an example in the image, but there are so many languages! Just check out my del.icio.us categories! And that's not even all. At any rate, the keywords are there in the urls that play out. Well, not all of them, but you can't get too crazy with the urls and still maintain credibility. You can click on the image to see the larger version. This was done with FreeMind. Someone who arrives only to see this page might wonder why this info is here. Well, I have not yet gotten around to making a page that I can handily link to to explain why I post some of the main brainstorming processes here, but the gist is that I am trying to help people to be able to mount their own web ventures that enable them to make money while doing and researching what they really love. This is part of that. More to come on this soonish.
