Linguascope is best known for its award-winning language learning platform for schools. Linguascope.com offers interactive language learning activities for primary and secondary schools (ages 6 to 16). The languages covered are French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, Maori and English.
Organised in topic areas, the materials are presented via a host of immersive multimedia activities, with printable worksheets that can be used to consolidate the lesson or as homework.
A school licence covers school as well as home use, so it's perfect for homework too! Students can log in on the website or via one of our free apps.
We invite you to watch our video clips introducing Linguascope and featuring teachers and students talking about how and why they use our website.
Try it out our interactive activities for yourself by visiting the trial section of our website. Get your students to have a look too and ask them what they think.
