A Bit of History
Established
in 1901, Linguaphone was the pioneer of self-study language learning. We were
the first to recognise the potential of combining the traditional written course
with the wax cylinder and later records. Linguaphone courses allowed language
learners to study at their own pace using books and original recordings supported
by Linguaphone's proven methodology: 'Listen, Understand, Speak'. In both the
classroom and via its self-study programmes, Linguaphone has played a dominant
role in language-learning across the globe ever since. Our international network
has always included a selection of subsidiary, joint venture and third-party
distribution companies. The network was first expanded during the 1930's and
today Linguaphone sells its products in over 60 countries.
Since the creation of the UK website in 1998, the growth of the Internet has
reinforced this global reach. Versions for a selection of markets across the
world are now accessible via our group homepage at www.linguaphone.com.
A recent substantial investment programme strengthened Linguaphone's position
as the leading global language learning company and allowed us to offer a comprehensive
range of both on-line and off-line products and services.
Off-line products were also developed for those who like to supplement their e-learning with traditional materials or simply prefer learning via portable audio and book materials. For those wanting to make the most of their free time while raveling (or perhaps stuck in a traffic jam!), for example, our new allTalk range provides an innovative approach to hands-free learning.
Linguaphone will continue to seek to provide the learner with a range of complimentary options for online and off-line study. See our course list.
Linguaphone Today
Following a major period of restructuring in 2001 and 2002, In November 2003, Linguaphone acquired Direct English from Pearson Education, a part of Pearson Plc. The Direct English learning system is a globally franchised provider of English language teaching with an impressive network of 55 language training centres operating in 14 countries around the world, as well as a strong licensing arrangement in the USA and Canada.
It is our belief that this 'Assisted Learning' approach is the way forward. By combining the interaction and support provided by language schools and online materials with the high standards and flexible methodology of self-study programmes, our students have the perfect combination of resource and motivation to achieve and surpass the level of language proficiency they desire.
Looking forwards
It is our aim to become the most successful provider of quality self-study and assisted learning programmes in the world. Linguaphone enters its next one hundred years well-positioned to enhance its enviable reputation for providing high quality language-learning solutions via the web, in schools, at home and at work. Fueled by its own subsidiary companies, as well as a selection of distributors, Linguaphone is set for a period of continued growth in the growing global market for language learning.

I've already recommended Linguaphone to my sister who has purchased PDQ Spanish and my brother-in-law who has purchased PDQ French - I'm sure we'll all continue to use Linguaphone. I like the method of learning - listen, repeat, then test yourself.
