The lesson is not complete, but we do not want to hold it back ;-).

The lesson files for LingoTeach were updated due to a bug with the gaelic language, which is actually irish, not gaelic.

The lessons are fixed and an actual package is available here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lingoteach/lingoteach-lesson-0.3.8a.tar.gz?download

We recommend all users to update their lesson files as soon as possible.

The website is updated to provide visitors a better overview and structure. It even looks better :-).
With the upcoming release of 0.3.9 it will be migrated to a dynamic backend, so visitors can also interact with the site, submit feedback and so on.

LibLingoteach, the earlier 'core' of lingoteach is now available in CVS (module liblingoteach). It has an own configuration support for applications and support pkg-config, too. XML and sound files are currently supported, sql support will be added soon.

After more than a half year, v0.3.8 is ready to be released.
A lot of stuff has changed, more content is coming and new plans
for next versions are made.

New features:

* New sounds are added. Spanish sound for the basic lesson is now
complete and german sound is in progress.

from which most stuff can be found in the freedict.xml (thanks to Horst
Eyermann for providing the dictionaries at freedict.de).
* User configuration. Configure LingoTeach to fit it to your needs.
* Lesson selection. LingoTeach is now able to use multiple lesson files
at the same time.
* Editor fully workable. The editor is now fully implemented and works as
supposed. Some features are not implemented though, but we are working
