Startup Has Language Learners Translating the Web

Luis von Ahn is frustrated with the Internet. More specifically, with the amount of content that is available only in English—which is to say, most of it. “The Web in Spanish is just shittier,” he says, his voice tinged with a Spanish accent. So von Ahn, an associate professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University who grew up in Guatemala, is doing something about it. Late last year, he and cofounder Severin Hacker, who was previously a student of his at CMU, launched Duolingo, a startup that combines language learning with crowdsourced translation.

After spending months in a private beta testing phase, the site opened up to all comers late this month, offering free online English lessons for Spanish speakers and lessons in Spanish, German, and French for English speakers. The territory isn’t entirely new to von Ahn. Foreign Language Audio on Demand!

How To Speak Italian And Not Sound Like A Tourist In Italy

Remember the old saying : when in Rome, do as the Romans do. That means that it’s worth the effort to try and fit in with the Italians and, like anywhere else, rhetoric is the key to getting things done – just as long as you know how to use it. Learning Italian, after all, is not the exactly the same thing as learning how to speak Italian. Here are some tips on how to speak Italian and not sound like a tourist in Italy. “Allora” All-or-ah Not often used as a conversation starter, ‘allora’ is perfect for keeping interest during debate and discussion. “Boh” Bo Clearly, slang is one of the most important aspects of fitting in. “Andiamo” On-Di-Ah-Mo You’ll be rushing when you get to Italy. “Basta” Bas-Ta You’re tired, it’s been a long day, or your full and the waiters are still bringing out more food.
