Insights into the hardest-working Thai students

Submitted by admin on 18 June 2022

One of the most committed students of Thai on Lingopolo wrote to me and asked:

 

Hi Hugh,

Just wondering….

How many people taking the Thai course?

Are there some people who have been studying Thai with you, longer than me?

Your site is a GREAT resource.

Warmly,

C

Since I think the answer to such questions are perhaps of general interest I decided to try and answer them here.

How much time does it require to be a volunteer?

It might take a day or two to be granted editor permissions, but then it will probably take less than an hour to learn how to start to be able to contribute to Lingopolo as an editor. Sure, some of the more complex tasks (like creating and editing sound files) might need a bit more time to learn, but generally speaking it's been made relatively easy to contribute.

Volunteering

As a non-profit, the content for each language comes from a mix of volunteers and (in the rare case where money is available for content) from people who are paid to work on content.

If you are volunteering, let me thank you for helping people have access to free quality language education.

This section hopes to answer some of the questions that you might have as a volunteer.

Ukraine war pauses Lingopolo development

Submitted by admin on 19 March 2022

The software development of Lingopolo is currently all done by the amazingly-skillful Alex. Unfortunately, Alex is based in...Ukraine. As you will know,  the war against Ukraine started on 24th February, and, understandably, the last day that Alex was regularly working on Lingopolo development was 23rd February. The war in Ukraine has of course been a horrific disaster for the people there. It has also paused development on Lingopolo.
