I subscribe to Z Mag, which is a good magazine, but for articles on economics - from the view of a humanitarian and/or socialist - you would be better served subscribing to the Left Business Observer and/or the Monthly Review.
For humanitarian and/or socialist that is more news, and less economics, stick with Z Mag, along with ISR.
For more humanitarian and less socialist, check out In These Times, The Progressive, The Nation, and the Free Inquiry.
If you are unfamiliar with IPA it stands for International Phonetic Alphabet [or Association]. Oriental phonetics are quite different from English, and having something that shows you where the tongue is placed could be a helpful start. Here's is a web-site on that IPA: http://www.uta.fi/~ccjapu/Handson2.html
Web-cams can be useful for conversation, so can using Tony Buzan "Mind Mapping" software - which can just as easily be done on paper. People learn in different styles. You might want to read a few books for ideas: Barry Farber "How to Learn Any Language", and Harry Lorayne "The Memory Book" which (combine with mind mapping) can be a cleaver learning tool.

Actually it would be The Financial Times.
Uh huh... I drop the network when they dropped the ZDTV format.
I thought space lost its virginity a few decades ago? I guess its claiming to be "born again".
