About the Ads

The board of directors of Language Guide has decided to run ads on portions of the English and French guides to try to fill a budget hole. If you're using these pages in a school environment, send me an email and I'll send you a link that disables the ads. We weren't able to reach our fundraising goal earlier this year which has required the ads. After the budget hole is filled, there are some ideals we're going to try to encourage donations, and we're gong to pursue other funding sources. Our goal is to fund the project through the npr/pbs model - a combination of donations and perhaps underwriters.

    I would love to use this site with our EAL learners, but the Korean page has inappropriate adverts. If you can send an ad-free link, please send it to sducharme at yahoo dot com

    I love this website. I would do anything i can to help. The cons that i found are that -
    The layout isnt that good and i dont find it attractive. I have first ignored the website and went through the website fully the second time when my french teacher asked me to.
    - Dont put that much images. Make it look simple and easy to navigate. Make the buttons more colourful maybe.
    - If you want i can help you change the layout and stuff :D ....just mail me owner@asocialz.org, im still a teenager though

    But other than all this, THE WEBSITE IS AWESOME especially the content!!
    Would love to help make this website better. May god bless all those who have made this website (Y)

Voice Recognition and the Speaking Challenge

Image
The 'Speech Challenge' now supports voice recognition on Google Chrome although it's not yet supported on IOS. Go to an interactive picture page such as insects , one of my favorites. (ou  les insects pour les étudiants de français),  After clicking on the 'Speech Challenge' button, click on the microphone toggle on the top bar, and confirm that you wish to use the microphone. Say the name of the selected insect! Upon hearing your voice, the correct word is uttered allowing you to make a quick comparison of pronunciation and word choice. Interacting  with the page this way is a lot more fun than clicking on the page or play button. Please let me know if you experience any issues or see other problems since quite a few changes were made to the scripts.

Old Guides still Available

I'm hoping that the new versions of the pictorial vocabulary guides which are being developed through the wiki can be published early next year. You can find the previous versions of the guides here. עברית (hebrew) हिन्दी (Hindi)

Latest Developments in 2022

Image
    When viewing pictorial guide pages on desktop size screen, the images now automatically reposition themselves to best take advantage of the available screen size: (for example L'espace in the French vocabulary guide or Space in the English vocabulary guide) The French vocabulary and French grammar guides went through additional rounds of review by native speakers, as well as the German , Spanish , Italian , and Portuguese vocabulary guides. In most cases two separate native speakers reviewed content which is helpful in identifying regional variants . Some technical issues affecting the Speaking Challenge were fixed as well as issues in which words or images had no audio. The expectation is that the guides be reference quality and everything should have audio. If you notice anything that seems amiss, feel free to write Tom at languageguide.org@gmail.com . The Spanish , Italian , Portuguese and English UK vocabulary guides were expanded.
