Today our team deployed a new version of the site. The main changes are the following:
1) Improved sidebar - didn't you hate it when it was loading for about 5 extra seconds after the page was loaded. So, not anymore. Now he sidebar is loading quickly and the whole page is loading quickly too. Still, in this sidebar you can see the same information as before: your session game score, last played lessons, the champions of gaming.
2) iPoly widget. Now you and everybody can place an InternetPolyglot lessons on your blog or your site! For that go to http://www.internetpolyglot.com/widget.html , select languages that you like to show on your page in the widget, copy the code and paste it on your site or blog. Afte that your blog or site will start showing lessons directly from Internet Polyglot. And it will look like this:
The code for this widget was:
but you can change the languages in this code. For example, if you want to show Spanish-French lessons then simply change wordLanguage and translationLanguage parameters in this code like this:

New Version of the Site. New Awsome Features.
My dearest Internet Polyglotter!
At last, with a great honor and deep moral satisfaction we announce that a new version of the site has been developed and deployed on http://www.InternetPolyglot.com !
The new version has a number of new features:
1) Typing Game - a new game where you are presented with a word in your language and you have to type its translation in the language that you learn. We hope this game will be a good addition in the language toolset that we provide for our users.
2) We bought and uploaded more pictures so that the majority (95%) of all lessons have images associated with the words. Enjoy a more colorful experience in learning new words!
3) New improved chat. Now the chat page has multiple channels so that you can chat with other people in your native language or about a language that you learn.
4) "Jump to a lesson" link. Now when you go to a lesson detail page you can see a new link "Jump to a lesson". When you click on it you see a popup list of all other lessons that are of the same word language and translation language.
5) Romanian audio pronunciation on Romanian lessons.
6) Other minor improvements that should improve your staying with http://www.InternetPolyglot.com .
Now a little bit about our plans. We are working hard now on a new "game-like" page which we call a slide show. We think that it should improve the initial learning process - instead of just jumping to games, go through all words in a lesson as a slide show: each word will be presented as a picture with the word and translation and the word and translation will be pronounced. We hope to develop the slide show in a month or so. As soon as it's ready we'll gladly notify you of that.
Now enjoy learning languages with http://www.InternetPolyglot.com and have a great time!
