July 19

I've always been fascinated by foreign cultures and with that, foreign languages too. Learning about a country's language will teach you more about the culture that it stems from. Innovation stems from necessity, so the basic words that compromise a learned language are words that played a large role in their culture.

I came across the Transparent Language website and I was surprised at the range of Language software that they offer. They have products and free resources for over 105 languages with different levels of proficiency. Service seems quick too and the website is very easy to navigate. All products have very detailed descriptions which would make it easier for the customer to decide which program would benefit them most. They offer electronic download and boxed shipment which is both convenient for the buyer.

I checked the overview of the Language software they offer and it's not like most dictionary translation types that just give basic conversational pieces and translate it for you. Their software can actually teach you to understand the language and not just learn the words. It also has fun activities that makes learning seem like you're only playing. Some even include a system for pocket PC and PDA, and MP3 audio so you can still learn even when you're on the go. 

You can learn to speak Spanish with any of the 9 products they offer that cater to different people be it kids, businessmen or just plain enthusiasts. Most of my relatives are in Italy and most of them already have families there. Whenever they come home to visit it's always difficult to communicate with my Italian cousins because not all of them are good in English. With any of their 8 Italian programs, I can learn to speak Italian like a native. Then of course, there's French. I mean, who wouldn't want to learn to speak French? It's the language of food and love. The offer 9 programs that would teach you to speak French.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, a kid or an adult, an enthusiast or a businessman;  there is a Transparent Language product that would fit you.
