Enabling Language Learning through Web!
LILA
Hindi software was the flagship product of LILA multimedia
series of language learning packages.
Web-LILA (Learn Indian
Languages through Artificial Intelligence) is a milestone
in language learning that opens new vistas for netizens
across the globe. Indbazaar.com and C-DAC are all set to
launch the Web version of LILA-Hindi, which will evolve
a new idiom of language learning on the net. Learning a
language will be so much easier and so much exciting. And
you need not attend classes or join a language course. A
click of the mouse on the Internet will do the trick. This
will add a new dimension to the concept of Indian language
learning/teaching. It will make language learning more systematic
and simpler. Whoever you are, a novice or a scholar, you
cannot afford to overlook this revolutionary concept in
language learning.
The
Applied Artificial Intelligence Group of C-DAC had already
developed the LILA-Hindi-Prabodh Compact Discs(CDs) which
was launched by the Honourable President of India on September
14, 1999 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Hindi as the
official language of the country. The other two CD versions
of the packages of LILA-Hindi-Praveen and Pragya are going
to be launched soon. These projects were sponsored by Department
of Official Language, Ministry of Home Affairs.
