The number of daily visitors to languages website MYLO has doubled in under a month. Over 2000 users flocked to the site on Friday alone to take advantage of this free resource for teenaged language learners.

The boost in visitor numbers follows great reviews of MYLO on websites including Merlin John Online, Languages Today and the Good Web Guide, who described “MYLO as innovative...clear and easy to use.” 

The word is also getting around on Twitter. @mme_henderson said “My students really enjoyed MYLO in the computer lab today!” Meanwhile, @msmfl tried MYLO with her bottom year 9 set and tweeted: “Amazing response! Usually revolting kids even asked ‘can you set it for homework, Miss’.

Lightbox - the creators of MYLO - have created a Quick Start Guide to show these new visitors how to register for the website. Registering gives users access to innovative features such as personalised avatars and the ability to monitor progress, collaborate and publish work. Registering also allows students to compete against each other or even against other schools.

New material is being added to MYLO all the time, with two new German challenges coming out in the last week. In Riding the Giant, students learn how to write a theme park review for a German website while in Graffiti Trail students create an online art guide showcasing the best Graffiti in Berlin.
