A gamified language learning website that offers interactive materials for learning around 80 languages, including many minority and endangered languages. Materials contain exercises for practising and learning grammar, vocabulary, spelling, phrases and scripts and alphabets. Vocabulary lists are accompanied by audio for practising pronunciation and listening skills. Exercises can be used for independent learning as well as in the classroom. Games and exercises are easy to use by young children. The website also provides information about culture and language, links to other useful resources and language learning tips. Evaluation: A useful resource for learning basic vocabulary. It is particularly suitable for younger learners due to its interactive features.

Respect for privacy Does the tool require registration? Who can see my data? Can I remain anonymous?

Medium/low. Digital Dialects is run mainly on a voluntary basis and therefore does not monetise any of its contents. It does not share user data, in this case email addresses and others, with any third party. However, third parties such as Google or Amazon collect cookies for advertisement. It does not mention compliance with GDPR, and the privacy policy misses lots of important information See more here.
