Lingalog: learning languages in an autonomous and common way. Lingalog's main goal is to provide some sources to learn languages joining native speakers having different languages. These native speakers can practice each other's foreign languages through the creation and management of projects. Lingalog focuses on a practical and common distance work using intercomprehension between two or more languages.

This experience started in 2005 in the Language Centre at the University Lumiere Lyon 2, in France. Nowadays this site is in its version 4 which means that is in constant evolution thanks to the participation and recommendations from its users as well as the research done on this site.

Lingalog's 2 main goals are:

• Allowing the users' learning progress in the languages in an institutional framework and,
• creating and reinforcing links among universities for student's interchanges and for an online pedagogical work.

It's inside an interlinguistic and intercultural dialogue that lays the real ambition of Lingalog: promoting a debate, some ideas interchanges, sharing points of view, to respect the others thoughts, to be rational in the way to express oneself, to meet different people and all that for promoting an ethic language learning in a humanist framework.
