langolab.com is a rather humble project, at least insofar as there are just a couple of people behind it. We're trying to make a tool that will be useful to foreign language teachers and anyone trying to study a foreign language. The project started out as my attempt to learn German. I saw that there were very few opportunities to immerse myself in German here in the US, but I realized that the internet contained a lot of German media and lots of native German speakers. I began creating a tool that would help leverage the abundance of media and people on the internet for learning German, and langolab.com is the result.
Right now we would really love to connect with foreign language teachers who might be interested in trying out langolab. If you see something that could be improved, or you have a vision for part or all of the site, please leave a comment on the blog. It will be as if you have a smart expert programmer (me) at your disposal, whose main goal in life currently is to make a superior foreign language learning tool. I will read and personally respond to all comments, and I have no problem with staying up for nights on end and working like a maniac to make your life easier with langolab. My dream is to post my plans for langolab on this blog, and then to get feedback from the foreign language teaching community on the ideas. When the ideas are implemented, they'll benefit everyone.
