lingro was conceived in August 2005, when Artur decided to practice his Spanish by reading Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal.
As a competent but non-expert speaker, he found that looking up new vocabulary

in their original context. lingro's mission is to create an on-line environment that allows anyone learning a
language to quickly look up and learn the vocabulary most important to them.
