wow Florian! thanks for your answer. I was starting to loose a lot of my
self-confidence
about it. Many people say that lingo is almost impossible to learn if you
donīt have any
pre-experience with programming. Iīm a graphic designer and know i can make
it!
I want to be able to developp simple kids applications with lingo, type
math program
or some applications whish would help them to learn other languages.
