I WAS a bit puzzled about all the Brits suddenly appearing on LingQ. I wondered where they were all coming from!
I think LingQ would come under MI6 rather than MI5. But we usually blame the CIA for strange happenings. MI6 generally rank lower than Extraterrestrials in British conspiracy theories.
You had written on my Wall:
“I am not a statistician. I am not a linguist. I am not an economist. I am not a magician. I am not an actor …” I immediately suggested that you were a duck breeder, but you didn’t confirm my bold guess. Why? I have nearly lost the confidence.
That is because you have changed your country name to read Turkiye which is not recognized by our system. Therefore, we don’t know what flag to give you. If you change it back to Turkey, you will see your flag. Unfortunately, our country list is only available in English…
We do when you sign up but the field is editable on the Settings page. I’m not sure why that is… but could be because it wasn’t always a dropdown and there are funny country names in the system that don’t match a list in a dropdown.
Could it be now the time to erase the “mother tongue” in the profile page?. That way we can change the interface’s language to the language we’re studying. If you’re living in another country you can say so in the Bio.
This way your flag will tell which is your native language. More meaningfull in the forum and the profile page than where you’re living in.
Good suggestion Berta but we are actually going to add another field so you can indicate your native language and have a separate interface language. Give us a week or so.
Mark, is there a chance to see the native language in the speaking section? There are now a lot of English tutors but a lot of them are not natives what is important for advanced learners.
I just wanted to say I love the flags. They look pretty and it’s cool to see people from all over the world interacting with each other here! Great job!!!
