Past and future

Digital Dialects was launched in January 2007, originally a by-product of a dissertation reviewing web resources for language learning. The site was conceived as an educational tool for learning languages, and as a guide to online resources. All animation and webpage design is by Craig Gibson. The animated activities are intended to incorporate the interactivity of computer-aided language learning software with the web-design principle of simplicity in use and access. The games are intended to provide a relaxed way of acquiring basic language skills, a break from the books!

The site will continue to be a work in progress, and it is intended that Digital Dialects will represent the World’s major languages, with a cross-section of languages from diverse regions. Audio files have been incorporated into animations for certain languages, and more audio materials are planned.
