WHAT IS TACTILINGO?

It's a teacher-created web app that allows world language teachers to make and assign their own online games that supplement and reinforce their vocabulary and grammar lessons. Our multi-sensory matching, categorizing and sentence-building games turn the abstract into concrete and make language learning more meaningful and contextual.

Tactilingo can be used with most languages, levels or ages and works with any teaching style and best of all, it's FREE!! Yes, you heard that right. You can create up to 7 classes with 100 students per class.

TESTIMONIALS

Tactilingo appeals to a wide variety of learning styles. It is unlike any other language-learning tool available today. Thanks to Tactilingo, my students not only have a chance to practice at a basic level (i.e. learning new vocabulary), but they can also practice understanding the inner workings of the language, learn how sentences are formed, how words in a sentence are strung together, what roles different types of words play and how they are pronounced, etc. With the help of pictograms, images, sounds, and words, Tactilingo helped my students achieve a deeper level of understanding of their second language.

Spanish High School Teacher

As a high school French teacher who loves to incorporate games and technology in the classroom, I would highly recommend Tactilingo to anyone interested in teaching a second language. There are a variety of engaging games (matching, categorizing and sentence structure) that allow learners to practice the language in a fun and hands-on way. I love the fact that students can practice new vocabulary words by matching pictures, seeing the words and listening to them all at the same time.
