I really like this free, open-source app: http://ankisrs.net/ You can download dictionaries made by other users or make your own if you prefer. It basically asks you the word and then based on how well you remember it (you decide by pressing some buttons), let's say -not at all, good, quite good, very good-, it asks you again for the same word in 1h, 1d, 1w, 1month etc. I think it's good because after a while the vocabulary you'll be dealing with it's huge and you need something like Anki to help you keep everything organized (you can tag the words (so that you can specific words if you need to) and modify them e.g. adding some example of usage). My advice is to watch shows, read books, articles etc and enter every new word you find in Anki ! For example today I learned the word "kindling wood" ..I'm pretty sure I won't encounter it again anytime soon but Anki will keep reminding me of it There's even an iPhone app for this..wish I owned an iPhone so I wouldn't be wasting my time bussing to uni every day.

I think smooth talker is someone who always know what to say, and what he says it's usually right even though the situation is not in his favor. I'd translate that with "persona suadente" but that's some complicated vocabulary. I'd rather use: "Lui ha la parola facile" -> (lit) "He's got the right word" -> "He's a smooth talker" "Ci sa fare" -> (lit) "He knows his stuff" -> "He's a smooth operator" which refers to someone who always knows how do handle any situation he's tackling. Example: "Wow, that John is a smooth operator, he got fired the other day and has applied for two job interviews already !" If a smooth talker is someone who tries (with a little guile) to mislead you into thinking that he's right I'd translate that with "persona melliflua".

Hi ! HTTP means Hypertext Transfer Protocol Hypertext means a text with links to other hypertext files a protocol is a set of rules a program must follow in order to communicate with others. For example all WEB Browsers must use HTTP to request pages and the WEB Server (which holds the pages) must answer using HTTP. It's a protocol world :D ciao, -Stefano.
