“This site can’t be reached. The webpage at https://www.audio-lingua.eu/spip.php?rubrique2&lang=en might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR”
Any ideas where it might have moved and how to find it??
Adam said this to another commenter: we have seen this error before that usually gets resolved but we found a contact for their webmaster and let them know about it, hope it will be fixed soon.
The site is back online.
Came here to also see if others were having trouble. If this site doesn’t come back up, are there other similar sites?
Adam says that their webmaster is hoping to get it fixed soon. He got in touch with them.

Hello Adam,
Thank you for this article. Is there any update about audio-lingua.eu ?
I hope to use this resource in my German classroom again!
The security certificate has expired for this website, audio-lingua.eu. I cannot get access to use for school until they update their certificate.
Do you have a contact, so I can request this?
Hi Erica, I am attempting to get to their site and am getting a timeout error, even when I ignore the certificate. I hope they will come back online soon!
