Outputs
The official website (www.travellingua.eu) has 5 main parts:
- LEARN: A linguistic part with the Phrase book and audio material in 5 languages (English, Lithuanian, Latvian, Danish and Swedish);
- EXPLORE: a part which gives basic information about 4 countries, their cultures and languages (Lithuania, Latvia, Denmark and Sweden);
- SHARE: a part where the material (phrase book and MP3 files) can be downloaded for free and learners share their knowledge and experience in language learning and travelling;
- CONSULT: a linguistic part where any learner can ask a general question about language learning or a specific language (Lithuanian, Latvian, Danish or Swedish) and get a professional answer from a linguist. Answers then are posted for the general public;
- CONTINUE STUDIES: a part which gives useful links (with free linguistic resources, EU-sponsored linguistic projects are presented among them) for those who decide to continue self-studying Lithuanian, Latvian, Danish or Swedish or to find more information about travelling.
Results
As a result of this project:
- there will be more people having survival-level linguistic competence of the target languages and being able to use it while travelling or working abroad;
- there will be more people self-studying other European languages (especially from the Germanic group);
- less popular European countries and languages will be promoted.
