The Language Company

The Language Company The Language Company Our ability to speak other languages and our interest in other cultures can connect us deeply with the people around the globe.

Mahatma Gandhi the father of our nation said “No culture can live ,if it attempts to be exclusive” and our beloved first prime minister of India jawahar lal Nehru quoted that "Culture and language are the widening of the mind and of the spirit." According to the CIA world fact book, only 5.6% of the world’s total population speaks English as a primary language. The number doubles when people who s

peak English as a second or third language are counted. By conservative estimates, that means that well over four fifths of the world’s population doesn’t speak English .The attitude that English alone is enough infact creates self imposed limitations. To remain monolingual is to stunt your educational development, to restrict your communication and thinking abilities, and to deny yourself to fully appreciate and understand the world in which you live. Learning another language opens up new opportunities and gives you perspectives that You might never have encountered otherwise. Personal, professional, social and economic considerations all point to the advantages of learning foreign languages. These are few of the many reasons which prompted Mr Adam Gordon Hopewell to promote this company “THE LANGUAGE COMPANY” in n November 2010.with an exclusive intention to bring the facility of learning foreign languages at an affordable rate to all the Indian students. We present the most advanced and academically sound stand alone online language learning program in the world. This software uses the highly advanced patented speech recognition technology (S.E.T.S – Spoken Error Tracking System). Over 2000 hours of content per language featuring real-life conversations and dialogue and dozens of activities.
