One of the languages they list is Ingles. I've never heard of it and every search just returns results as if I had typed "English" or was looking for a store of that name.

I'm monolingual English, but it looks somehow related to Spanish.

Do you know?

It's a course in basic English for Spanish speakers. The same system, but allowing Spanish speakers to use the knowledge they already have to communicate in English.
