Being baffled for a while why there are so many people who come to Internet Polyglot leave it very quickly - without even browsing lessons. I guessed that is because the front page is just a plain text with nothing eye-catching.
So I introduced a new block on the front page where a new user can select the language that he or she is learning at the moment and start a demo lesson game. In fact it wasn't that simple - the cool thing about this block is that it reads the locale of the user and finds most suitable lesson. For example for a user from Russian who learns English it will be a Russian-English lesson. And so on.
Currently it is working with a minor glitch - the menu list gets confused on the languages during playing the game but I have already fixed it in the development environment, so it will go away as soon as I do the next deployment.
Here is this snippet - you can start playing a demo lesson game right now:
I am not quite sure about it - American English tends to overuse continuous tense. What's your opinion?

As an English anglophone, I can confirm that the continuous present is appropriate here.
Thanks a lot for the comment. I am going to change the wording on the page to present continuous.
