Hello,

I am based in France, and have developped a multilingual educational website http://www.vicsgames.com which is free when accessed from an educational facility.

Vicsgames contains a list of 790 words, the idea behind the site is to associate to a “concept” its picture, and its description both written and oral, in as many language as possible. The site was launched a month ago, with English (both British and American), French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian and Malagasy ( I lived in Tulear when I was a ‘zazakely’ a long time ago). The Malagasy translation is the work of Mrs Hery Razaiarisoa who lives in my town 25 kms West of Paris.
Other languages soon to be released are Dutch, just for Ms Rozenboom , Swedish and Danish…

The demo version is free, just click on the Malagasy flag on the 1st page, and then again on the second page…

I would like to promote this website across Madagascar and the community of expatriates from Madagascar… Your help would be much appreciated !!

Let’s talk
