The BEO
We chose the Beo (German for Hill Myna) as our symbol,
because this amazing bird
is a very communicative one, gathering and imitating words and noises.
The word "Beo" comes from Indonesia and means "chatterbox".
In South-Eastern Asia, the Beo is well known as a really communicative buddy,
which talks a lot to its companions. You can find more information at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_Myna.
Our goals
We want to upgrade and enhance the Chemnitz University online dictionary
for our users and will always be very thankful for any kind of support.
- Expansion of pronunciation:
- You appreciate this already, as you have been able to listen to important
English words for more than six month.
Now we have started to add German pronunciation.
As before, it is considered settled:
We will only utilize native speakers;
we do not use any computer-generated vocalizations.
- Learning functions:
- You already know this, too: Learning a foreign language means practising.
We want to support you with new functions.
- Teamwork with you:
- From the beginning teamwork with you - our users -
was very important to us.
Actually, your contributions were essential for the extension and the
improvement of the vocabulary.
We want to continue this teamwork with you.
Currently, we are working on improving contribution possibilities.
- More languages:
- We plan to offer translations in other languages and are right now
looking for opportunities in this area.
- Renewal of technique:
-
Since our main desire is to allow you to find translations even
faster, we have installed three new servers.
And finally, to finance these improvements we will work together
with advertising partners, who will offer you products and services.
These offers will always fit into the context of language-learning.
All advertising revenues will be used for the further development of the
BEOLINGUS Dictionary at Chemnitz University.
