Duolingo

In the New Scientist, issue 2809, we learn about a new language learning module due to go online later this year. 

The project is called Duolingo - www.duolingo.com - and wants to get users to translate website content, while at the same time teaching them the language these websites are written in.

The article goes on to say, that "...users will take lessons in which they translate phrases and sentences pulled from the web in the language they want to learn. Combined with automated translation software the developers hope to provide a  flawless translation tool for the web.

An interesting concept, but will/can it work?
