The Internet is the new and real University.

I am enthusiastic about the Internet as a growing and potentially limitless space for learning. That is where we have positioned LingQ. We are not alone. There is a lot of competition. A lot of it is free. That is the place where we have to compete. Of course much of what we offer at LingQ is also free.

Here is a site which provides recommendations for free online education resources all over the web, and also functions as a directory of online colleges and universities for students interested in earning a degree online.

The site also lists free language learning resources. LingQ is on their list in the general category.I would have preferred to see us listed for each language, as LingQ, and as each one of our LingQ Podcasts. But what can you do?

In any case it is a great resource. Learners can go to these sites and import the content and use it at LingQ.

Yes it is... but any word on when jobs will take 'self-educated' as sufficient education?

Education through the internet misses the natural human leadership componant. Some people may not be well suited to learning to speak,listen,read,and write a language strictly through internet-delivered instruction. On the other hand, some people have the talent to be able to learn a language this way.

pointyr,

My online tutors at LingQ provide more encouragement and help than just about all the professors I had at university. Most university professors are less interested in teaching than in doing research in obscure subjects of limited interest.
