Recent national and international events have shown how interconnected the world community is. The
realization that we need the ability to communicate effectively with people outside of our own borders,
whether socially or for business, has never been more important. Multilingual organizations and people will
have an advantage as we continue to move toward a global economy. As a result, worldwide interest in
foreign languages has increased and the language learning market has grown to $15 billion. Whether for
personal enrichment, educational requirement or business need, effective language learning technology is
essential to addressing the need for improved language skills throughout the modern world.
The languages of globalization are vastly different than they were 20 years ago. The growth of business,
diplomacy and travel, in regions such as Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe has changed the focus
from traditional romance languages to a more widely diverse list. However, 91% of students in the US
studying a foreign language still concentrate on just four (Spanish, French, German and Italian), while the US
Government identifies 150 languages to be of national interest. Transparent Language recognized this
evolution early and meets all language learning needs with solutions in more than 100 languages, with others
in development.
Transparent Language’s solutions incorporate the company’s breakthrough Transparent Method for
computer-based language learning. This revolutionary two-part system of frequent, successful learning
experiences ensures a fun, effective exposure to the basics of language. The Transparent Method makes it
possible for individuals to master a language by applying skills in a rich, interactive learning environment.
Experts agree that words and small phrases are the building blocks of language. Before You Know It
lets users see and hear the foreign language with native speaker pronunciation, and then leads the user
through a proven, proprietary learning process. Before You Know It monitors the user’s responses
and constantly adjusts to focus on the more challenging words and phrases. The result is the fastest
possible learning with Perfect Recall.
Transparent Language has been developing the Learn Language Now system since 1989. This highly
sophisticated language learning software enables learners who have some basic vocabulary to quickly

that immerse the user in the foreign language and provide opportunit ies for language investigation,
skill-building and role play.
