This is the first post on the L-Lingo blog, so let me extend a warm welcome to all our visitors! I have spent the last weeks developing an online platform for learning Asian languages, using the content of our L-Ceps desktop language learning software. We intend to bring our language learning experience to a broader audience, […]
We are so thrilled to announce the newest addition to our offered languages in L-Lingo. Over the past couple of months, you may have taken advantage of our free online lessons featuring 8 languages. We are so pleased to offer you the release of Lingo Burmese! With this online application, you can now learn Burmese […]
Many people have approached me to ask whether L-Lingo will remain free after it has completed the beta test. Yes, Yes, Yes! I am also planning to keep the content roughly the same (i.e. number of lessons, features, etc.). But obviously, as this is work in progress, it will probably change in appearance over time. […]
I am very busy redesigning the main menu to allow the display of documents. For each lesson, you will soon be able to see and print the following documents: PDF Textbook PDF Flashcards PDF Grammar Notes Many of you requested the grammar notes in particular, so I wanted to let you know that and we […]
You might have noticed that L-Lingo always has the same size when you use it -no matter how high your screen resolution is. Although we had this optimised for the most common screen sizes, it did not work well with people having either very large or very small screens. With this new version, the application […]
You may have noticed that we have redesigned our website. We wanted to have a lighter colored theme that would better match the look of our software. Since we have so many visitors from Germany, we now have a German Version of our website. If you have any comments on the new design or if […]
I just want to let you know that I have updated the transcription for our Hindi program. The Devangari transcription is IAST compliant. If you like to read more about IAST have a look here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Alphabet_of_Sanskrit_Transliteration So now you can see the Hindi transcriptions in L-Lingo itself. You can switch to transcription mode with the […]
If you think that the speech in the audio clips is too fast, you can now listen to them at a slower speed. In order to do so, click on the button in the main menu on the top right side: In this menu, you will be able to listen to the audio for all […]
Since the application seems to run quite smoothly now, I thought it might be the right time to put some more languages online. We have now nine Asian languages available at www.l-lingo.com. For some of the languages (e.g. Mandarin, Japanese, Korean), please note that you need to load large fonts, and therefore, it will take […]
L-Lingo is now only 6 weeks old and we have already received a lot of feedback from you. Some of you have contacted us directly and others have posted in forums. Thank you very much! User Interface The majority of people are very happy with our user interface and the appearance of the application. Users […]
We are hard at work developing mp3 files with the audio content of each lesson. Now you will be able to study wherever you are, not just in front of the computer. On the go, you can listen and repeat the online lessons, great training for pronunciation. We should have the downloadable mp3 files online […]
Since a few days ago, I have a new version online. So, what’s new? You now have the whole user interface in the following languages of choice: English, German, French, or Spanish. You can select your language setting when launching L-Lingo. By the way, I used Google translation for the French and Spanish user interface, […]
