The title came about since I did not really know which subject matches this note, but "native cultures" actually is the one, because in the end, that's what it is about.

So this is the note for people who are wondering about my name change:

Since this is relevant among others for Parley I am posting the article also here:

It's just two weeks ago that I started to merge the dictionary data for Ambaradan in our loader application: this is needed to make sure data is in the right shape and we won't loose any.

I was editing some files in Parley for my kids to be done this summer, they don't like paper work and if I create exercises for them, well then they are also available for translation and use by anyone else.

Actually it is impossible to collect all achieved results in one single article. Compared to all other events we went to, this was the most productive one and we will need months to actually work on all that will need to be done. Let's try to point out what interests our users most: language learning.

As a Psychology student, I always need to face a lot of school stuff to get done. One of those is the never ending resume paper projects that has actually became part of my every semester's coursework.

When I was a kid, I viewed school not as a place for educating myself but as a playground. I've always felt so excited to attend what I used to think as a play and not as a class.

These are days with many ideas coming along. I always look at my kids, those of others and see what they do and how they do things ... They don't like learning with text, but with pictures, video, sound. My twins learnt the names of countries and associating their flags and main monuments with 5 years of age with a puzzle. The learnt German terminology by playing memory.

The other day we released the terminology for vocabulary training and CAT (Computer Assisted Translation) tools that was collected up to 10th of March. The mainwork was done during a International Mother Language Day Translation Marathon. New languages were added, others improved.

First of all: a huge THANK YOU! to all who contributed.
