EuroComDidact is a methodological project and a pioneering educational initiative in the field of intercomprehension among Romance languages. Developed in German academia by linguists and Romance scholars Horst G. Klein and Franz-Joseph Meißner, the project translates theoretical research into practical multilingual education.
The project applies the Seven Sieves (Sieben Siebe) method, a framework designed to enable learners to deduce the meaning of written texts by identifying lexical patterns, shared affixes, syntactic structures, and sound correspondences across related languages—without the need to study each individual grammar from scratch.
As a result of the research, an app was developed which currently is not accessible though.
ICON is an open science project collecting resources dedicated to intercomprehension, or mutual understanding, of related languages.
