TLM started as a small-scale “living room project” in 2006, when I realized there wasn’t very much Swedish material available online, and I needed some tools to create some custom made material for my classes. Within a couple of months we had built up a basic webportal and added a couple tools. The first ones were crossword, wordsearch and label the picture. An artist friend of mine agreed to draw around 50 pictures and we added them to the site with the translations of the pictures to Finnish, Swedish, English. This was the beginning of The Language Menu.
Between 2007 and 2016 we have had over 40 people working with TLM, updating the language database, adding material, translating the word lists, drawing pictures, taking photographs and marketing the site.
Today TLM has had over 29 000 members sign-up from over 130 countries.
