Lingueoの世界へようこそ！

The service

Lingueo.com is a social network whose aim is to help its users to practise and learn foreign languages. The site connects people who wish to learn and practise foreign languages with suitable tutors all over the world.

This new approach revolutionizes the learning of foreign languages: from now on anyone can practice a foreign language the way it is truly spoken by discussing from a distance with a tutor who is a native speaker of that language.

The courses are held directly on the website through videoconferences, and no software to install whatsoever. The fees vary depending on the tutor, the minimum fee being 10€/hour. No subscription is needed and a student is free to end the course at any time. Besides enabling direct contact, Lingueo offers a free access to a linguistic video library consisting of little video courses made by the tutors. This practical data bank aims at familiarizing a learner with everyday words and expressions.

The company

Created in 2007, Lingueo is a French enterprise situated in Paris and founded by Guillaume le Dieu de Ville, Arnaud Portanelli and Johann Querne. More than 10 different nationalities are presented in the Lingueo team, all passionate about languages and Internet.

Lingueo offers a possibility to learn the most commonly spoken languages, and promotes the learning of regional languages as well as the Sign Language. In addition to linguistic learning, Lingueo promotes diversity and cultural exchange.

This effort has been recognized by the European Commission, who rewarded Lingueo in the spring of 2009 with the European Language Label, which is a prize awarded to the most innovative language learning projects.
