Great New Content - Ordering (Spanish) and ESL Product

I try not to be all "Hair Club for Men" about this (you know, not just a customer, but the President - after all, Dave's the President), but whenever we have new content, I go gaga because I get to use it first.

To be clear, 3dlanguage cannot regrow hair - but it can do some amazing things for your language skills, by putting you in an engaging, immersive practice environment.

This new content "the team" has baked up is really great - it's all about ordering food.

There's also a product for learnifying English, but I doesn't need to practize English, so I don't use (ahem - actually I don't use it for fear of learning how poorly I actually speak my own language).

Seriously, there is an ESL version of the product now, and it brings the same great method for learning to folks who are interested in English.

If you are interested in getting a beta copy of either product, contact us.

UK Language Teaching at All Time Low?

An interesting article from this time last year in the Register about the state of language instruction in the UK. Although it isn't recent information, it is a pretty good read.

An interesting quote from the article (regarding recent changes to programs) -

Laws laments: "They reduce foreign language study to a functional skill that teaches the sort of thing you find in a 'get by' phrase book. It is selling young people short and is unlikely to inspire anyone to see languages as anything other than mechanical and boring."
