New language learning content released to meet the needs of business professionals globally

Phoenix, AZ - Feb 9, 2009 Auralog, the pioneer of integrating advanced speech recognition technology with language learning, and the publisher of the TELL ME MORE® language learning software program, announced today the release of a new version of their TELL ME MORE language learning software for global business.

This newest release (9.4.4) adds more content and functionality to learners leveraging the TELL ME MORE® Business and Corporate solution. Key features of this release include:

• New Business Content. TELL ME MORE® has added eleven (11) new sequences to further enhance its language learning content for global business. New course content focuses on topics professionals face in the global business world including; presenting a recruitment strategy, dealing with artistic differences, advertising, delivering a convincing argument, project risks, annual reviews, and technology explanations.
• New Hospitality Content. TELL ME MORE® delivers language learning reflecting the subject matter of key markets including the Hospitality market. This new content focuses around the language learning needs of Guest Services and Dining and Catering Services. In order to support the needs of the Hospitality industry this new content will help organizations ensure client satisfaction and the highest standard of service.
• New Introductory Level Content. Many people choosing to learn another language have had no previous exposure to the language they have chosen to learn. For these individuals introductory level content needs to be very basic and help to inspire the desire to learn more. TELL ME MORE® now offers an additional 20 lessons to help true beginners successfully start down the path of language learning.
• New Interface Language: Russian. The TELL ME MORE® solution interface is localized into thirteen (13) languages. Localizing the entire learner interface represents a significant investment and enables learners to benefit from having instructions and the overall program interface available in their native language while they are learning their next language. This speeds learning and creates contextual connections for the learners, rather than in other solutions where the learner must guess at what is required.

“This is a significant upgrade to our language learning solutions for Business and Corporate and a direct response to requests from our customers,” Thierry Benchetrit, Product Development Director, said. “Customers wanted more business specific content. Learning a language in today’s global marketplace is key; being able to utilize those new skills directly in your day to day professional efforts is what creates competitive advantage.”

“We are constantly fielding input from our clients,” Mr. Benchetrit said. “And we’re always looking for ways to make sure our solutions tightly fit the needs of global professionals in a variety of fields.”

TELL ME MORE® Corporate delivers a blended learning solution to address the unique language learning needs of business professionals. With up to 2,000 hours of content per language program and 10 skill levels TELL ME MORE® delivers targeted solutions with real-world context.
