This website is for anyone looking
for free language resources in many of the Indo-European languages. Currently,
there are 15 language tutorials available - three of which are not Indo-European
languages - and 2 comparative tutorials for studying two languages simultaneously. Mp3s are
also available for the French tutorials to aid with pronunciation (as well as for the FSI French, German, and Italian courses), and interactive
exercises are currently available for the French
I, French
Slang, French Phonetics, Italian I, Spanish I and German
I tutorials.
The navigation buttons at the top will take you to the major sections of this site. The French tutorials are much more extensive than the other languages because French is my second language. The France section is for those who are looking into moving to France or possibly already living in France, as an English assistant or regular expat. An extensive guide to being an Assistant in France as well as all of my English as a Second Language lesson plans are available.
The Languages section provides a complete list of the free language tutorials available, as well as other information about learning languages. The Linguistics section offers notes and papers to download from my university Linguistics courses.
I update my blog almost every other day with topics relevant to learning languages, teaching English, living in France, etc. and you can read the About Me page to find out who exactly runs this site. Photos is my personal collection of travel photos from mostly North America and Europe.
If you'd like
to see every page that exists on this site, please go to the site
map. Instead of using the navigation buttons above,
the menu on the left will lead you to the majority of the pages
available as well. If
you want to know what's new on the site, check the latest

Feel free to use these tutorials for your own personal, educational use in or outside of the classroom. I've tried to make the tutorials easy to copy and paste into a word processer for printing. You can also print directly from your web browser, as I have used CSS coding to eliminate certain areas so that just the main text will print. In addition, the pages have been formatted for handheld devices.
Lastly, if you'd like to contribute
resources to ielanguages.com, please let me know. Finding
native speakers to record pronunciation of the vocabulary
is most important. And if you're feeling generous, Paypal donations
can be sent to: ielanguages [at] gmail [dot] com
Happy language learning!
