with a great program like Rosetta Stone, why would someone use ingolingo?

Because it's free sure -- but many people have tried and failed many language learning systems, so what value does ingolingo provide that an established player like Rosetta Stone doesn't?




It's different. Ingolingo concentrates on words, Rosetta teaches you how to use sentences in situations. They complement each other.


OK -- as a wanna-be linguist this is definitely a valuable tool.

What library of languages did you use to create your definitions?


The definitions are human translated for now. We're still working on improving the translations to match the words - as in running = run and so on.
