A new forum name?

[iguanamon]

Help-To-Learn-A-Language.com isn't taken yet either.

You have my vote for "Intoxicated Mongoose", sir.

I never claimed they were good or inspiring! Just that they were identifiably about language learning. You could call the forum "Intoxicated Mongoose", but no language learners would find us, although we could find ourselves with a large following of drug taking mammals.

[astromule]

Perhaps "help to learn a language", "language learning", "language learner", with the addition of "next generation". And the URL could be a simple HLAL.org, for example.

I kind of liked Cavesa's idea about a League of Language Learners or something of that nature. I think it's nicely descriptive. That's what we are -- a bunch of learners helping and encouraging each other.

This idea isn't mine, I think it is Astromule's. But I agree. A name stressing the community aspect is a better choice than a school/book/miraclebelivers/whatever like name.

[Brun Ugle]

Oops! Sorry, astromule. I suppose I should have gone back through the thread to check who said what instead of relying on my faulty memory. Anyway, I like the idea even if it was made in jest.

I agree, it's very good.

it would be LLL or LELAL or LELALE or LELANGLE

I don't think "league" is the best word to describe our community. First, it associates with sports and some kind of competition, and second, it doesn't make it transparent that anyone can join.

Whilst the actual name itself may not have a big influence on the search ranking, what we do want is for people to immediately recognise from the site name that it would be useful for them. The name needs to make it obvious that this site will help people to learn a language. I would imagine that perhaps the least exciting or interesting names might actually be the most practical.

I agree completely with this. We need a simple name that makes it obvious what the forum is about and encourages potential new learners to explore and join.

Foreign Language Learners
Independent Language Learners
Foreign Language Improvers
The Road to Fluency
Languages Step by Step
Easy Fluency
Effective Language Learning
Learn to Learn a Language
Anyone Can Learn a Language

I really like the "Languages Step by Step" suggestion, it sounds nice and fits our forum well. We could also make it "Foreign Languages Step by Step" to make it even more transparent.

I kind of like LanguagesWeGotEmYouWantEm.com.
