Freelang’s blog

The jetBook e-Book Reader is the world slimmest, lightest, and most portable library. Able to read and store thousands of books in over 20 languages (any .txt and .pdf file), mp3 audio files and image pictures, it takes up less space than even a single printed-paper book. Preloaded with English, Russian and other dictionaries, jetBook lets you enjoy a good book, improve your vocabulary, listen to your favorite audio files and look at photos – all in the same compact device.

If you are visiting Thailand as a tourist these days, you already know that the Songkran festival, the Buddhist new year, is in full swing. Crammed at the back of pick-ups and armed with water guns supplied by huge water tanks, their faces turned white with talcum powder, the happy fighters won’t give you a chance! So prepare yourself to get wet, very wet and soaked to the skin! Fortunately the weather is very hot, and this is all for good luck, so you will also get blessed in the process. Don’t even think of getting out with your mobile phone or your camera, leave any valuables in your hotel safe, go buy yourself one of those nice Hawaiian shirts and join in the fun. Happy New Year!

He is known as iubito on the Lokanova and Freelang forum, and he is also the happy winner of our photography competition. The idea was simple: buy a product from Freelang and take an original picture of it. Iubito created a nice setting and stroke a pause to imitate the Freelang logo (a little man stepping over the Earth while juggling with red balls). We found that original (and there was no other serious contestant, let us be honest), so iubito won our first prize, a PDA from HP (iPAQ series hx2100, worth 295 euros).

The competition is over but the sale of souvenirs from Freelang is still going on. In our online shop you will find t-shirts of all sizes and colours, and also mugs, steins, mousepads and bags, all bearing the Freelang logo. More than a souvenir from our site, it is also a way to help children who lack a family, as the profit will be given to an orphanage here in Thailand.
