Your Lingua Franca

Dave Spector

A website for user-generated sample dialogues in any foreign language. Read, write, translate, or upload a video.

http://www.yourlinguafranca.com/



yourlinguafranca.com is a user-generated foreign language learning site. This is a series of short narrative videos and scripts created by users to sample their native language. Bilingual users can translate the scripts into a new language. The key words (nouns, verbs, etc) can be tagged and will be inputted into a searchable database.

Eventually a cross-referenced database of videos/scripts will exist in every possible language, so users can learn any language by way of another.

Audience
Foreign language students and teachers.

Implementation
It's an educational website.
