Updating LingQ

Updates, Tips and Known Issues
1

Hi all,

Just a heads up that we will be updating the site very shortly. The new changes should be up soon!

Please see the announcement for beta languages here:

2

I can already see the updates! Wonderful! But, where is the “Add Friend” button?

3

Looking good so far… looking forward to the first Dutch lessons.

4

Ah, changes on the profile. Looks interesting. But I miss the “Add friend” option.

5

I’ve just uploaded the FIRST Dutch lesson. It’s about Belgium. You can find it within Advanced 1. The site looks good to me, the dropdown menu has been improved I see, it looks better now!

6

No Greek or Latin :frowning:

7

I don’t think you can get audiobooks in Latin, but you can add another language yourself, right? At least, it says ‘start a new language’ in the dropdown menu. So maybe, we’ll find Greek in the near future?

@siccow - have you shared the lesson ? I don’t see it in the library.

9

Oh yes, sorry, I can see it now… I had to change the filter to Adv 1. Thanks !

10

@jamie - Yes, you can find it under Advanced 1, if not, maybe this link works: Login - LingQ.
Good luck!

I saw that there weren’t any accents added to the Dutch section, maybe we should add Flemish and Netherlands Dutch?? I’d like to hear your thoughts.

Thanks siccow - nice little lesson ! I’ve created my first LingQs in Dutch ! Which part of NL are you from by the way ?

12

@Vera - Thanks, we’ll look into this issue.

13

@Jamie - I live in The Hague, you might know it from the news: Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, International Court of Justice, etc.

Sorry, this is a bit off topic…

14

@Alex: Is LingQ adding “Who is she” etc. or is it down to the members to add those themselves?

15

@siccow - I certainly do know The Hague, I’ve lived here for five years ! I wouldn’t have placed your accent from The Hague though… your "g"s seem softer to me (but of course I’m no expert). Have you lived in Den Haag all your life ?

16

@jamie - That’s not me, the audio file comes from Wikipedia. The accent is Flemish. I have lived in Den Haag since I was born.

@James123 - We will not be providing any content for the beta languages. If a language does gain significant ground then we will consider adding full support, which would mean adding these beginner lessons as well if nobody has provided them. I believe for Czech, TheDoctor has already translated and recorded these lessons. I am see which language moves past beta first :slight_smile:
