This documentation gives an overview about the LingoTeach language teaching application and explains how to install, configure and use it. It is meant to be an introduction into LingoTeach.
LingoTeach was originally introduced in 1999 as a java-based application, but then was rewritten using C and Gtk. At the moment (October 2003) it is still based on C and uses GTK+-2.x as GUI Toolkit.
LingoTeach's backend, LibLingoTeach, uses an own type definition for the lessons, LingoTeach can use. Though the free language teaching projects out there do not interact very well with each other due to the lack of a common standard, LingoTeach tries to help out with its own format and a library, any other language teaching application can use.
LingoTeach and its main components (LibLingoteach and the 'official' lesson and sound packages) are all free software. They are released under the terms of the GPL and BSD license.
