Myngle open sourcing its lesson material!

Danilo Hello teachers! We have some great news for you!

As we’ve written previously, one of the many unique and strong points about Myngle.com is that our platform holds an abundance of foreign language learning material. A true benefit for teachers and students.

Myngle itself is developing a nice set of lesson materials and sharing it for free to teachers of several languages. You can check out our material here.

Now, we’re releasing the original files of 2 of our English courses for you to download for free! You can use these lesson files to translate them to your own native language to use with your students. Click on the images bellow to start downloading:

1) English Course for Travelers (complete course): A set of 5 lesson files in Powerpoint format where students will learn the most important expressions and vocabularies for a coming trip: Greetings, Ordering a meal, Booking a hotel reservation, City Transportation, and Getting city directions.

How do you proceed?

  1. First, please check here if these courses aren’t already translated to your language;
  2. If they are not, download the lesson materials you would like to translate;
  3. When finished, you can upload the files to your own courses at Myngle.

I’m a big fan of open source where collaborative work has much bigger and better results. Having your help we can reach much further then we have ever dreamed!

    I am new her and not sure how this all works. Do you offer languages other than English. Currently I am studying Spanish & Turkish. I take tutoring sessions with tutors from http://www.edufire.com, and as far as Turkish I am learning a bit on my own on other language sites. I am still not sure how this site works, but look forward to exploring it!

    Hello Solarmon!

    In Myngle you will find a large choice of Spanish tutors and also some for Turkish. Most of them offer a free trial lesson, so you are welcome to try one with them. Just go on the teachers profile, read something about them, find out when they are available and click on ‘book a lesson’. I am sure you will like it :-)

    Let me know if you need any help with it,

    Elisa
