Ohh...this looks like fun. I like some of the suggestions for new names the people have posted so far. "Extraordinary League of Language Learners" sounds cool. 8-)


Here are a few of my ideas (some of them showing my sci-fi geek side, but I couldn’t resist). ;)

Language Learning Community
Languages; How do you Learn Yours?
Language Learning: The Final Frontier
Language Learners Guide to the Universe
Yes, you CAN learn a language!

Although I agree that "(Extraordinary) League of Language Learners" sounds quite nifty, LoL is already a well-established acronym referring to the hugely-popular video game League of Legends. LoLL would be a bit too close to that I feel... :?

Edit: Not to mention the old IM favourite Laugh Out Loud, of course. :lol:

I think I read something about the LanguageGate scandal a while ago, something that was related with tonguelovers.

My vote goes for
The Extraordinary League of Language Learners.
The Language Gate (but who's going to be the gatekeeper?)

How to Learn Another Language isn't exciting, but it has the same acronym which is nice.

Well, elo is more poetic and used mostly in compounds like elokuva (film, "living picture"), elohopea (mercury/quicksilver, "living silver") or elokuu in its other meaning of crops (the month of crops, ie August). The more usual word for life is elämä :)

(omg i love finnish ❤)
