Tatoeba is an open-source project for collecting sentences and their translations into other languages. See the Wikipedia page on Tatoeba for more background.

While Tatoeba offers many helpful resources to language learners, language instruction is not its core mission. In contrast to multilanguage sites such as Lang-8 or single-language sites such as lernu.net for Esperanto, Tatoeba does not offer any of the following:

  • structured presentation of grammar or vocabulary
  • mentoring (in which an instructor is formally assigned to a student)
  • a means of submitting written material that is intended as an exercise rather than as a reference to other language learners
  • a message system dedicated to requesting translation of particular sentences
