Description
Unlike muscles and violence, language breaks down barriers without reducing the likelihood of making new friends. It's too bad no one told that to the Greeks waiting pensively at the walls of Troy, the orcs throwing a hissy fit at Minis Tirith, or Gaston causing a ruckus at the Beast's castle doors. Brush up on your language skills with today's WagJags from LingQ:
- $20 for a 6-month online language course with 11 languages to choose from (up to a $120 value)
- $35 for a 1-year online language course with 11 languages to choose from (up to a $120 value)
The founders of LingQ believe you don't teach a language - you have to learn it yourself. Here's how it works: your lesson begins with a passage written in the language of your choice (with 11 to choose from). Words you don't know are highlighted in blue. Hovering over the blue word causes a list of hints to appear; you can add your own hint and make the word turn yellow. This is called creating a "lingQ." As you create more lingQs, you create a stronger understanding of the language. You can then review the lingQs using flashcards, an iPhone app or cloze tests. Then download your lessons onto your MP3 player. The combination of studying words (reading) and listening to your lessons will steadily improve your fluency in the given language. When tired of one lesson, feel free to begin another. When you're ready, submit your writing samples to the helpful LingQ tutors. Show them, and yourself, just how much you've learned!
LingQ is for everyone from budding beginners to studious speakers. Available languages are English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Swedish, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. The beauty of an online learning process is that your lessons are available at all times and therefore easy to squeeze into even the busiest of schedules. But learning online doesn't mean you're learning alone: LingQ boasts a booming online community that invites you to put your new language skills to the test.
