Convenient Method
Unlike with traditional classes, with OpenLanguage you can break up the learning process into convenient chunks that can be studied throughout the day. Listen to a lesson in the morning, prepare with the website or mobile app review materials, practice with a teacher, then perform a task to apply your new skills.
Relevant, Engaging Lessons
OpenLanguage focuses on language that you will actually use. Hundreds of lessons are available covering most situations you might find yourself. Radio production techniques and a conversational style are used to make the lessons more accessible and engaging.
Authentic Language & Culture
Lessons are crafted by language professionals who live and breathe the language and culture of the target language you are studying, be it in New York, Munich, São Paulo or Shanghai.
Interactive Review Activities
Get the most out of the lessons by examining the core dialogue, key & supplementary vocabulary, expansion sentences and grammar points. Complete the lesson exercises when you want to test your understanding.
Classroom Integration
OpenLanguage offers complimentary access for language teachers so they can guide your studies. We also offer special programs and support for universities and high schools. Tell your teacher about us! Find more information here.
Lesson Tasks
To reinforce what have you have learned, it helps to apply your new skills. Upload a written assignment from the website or record a video of you performing a lesson task. Submit this task to your teacher and get feedback on what you are doing well and where you need to improve.
Integrated Flashcards
All target-language terms can be saved to your personal vocabulary list. These terms can be reviewed with flashcards on your computer or mobile device. You can also export this list to your favorite flashcard program. There is no need for a written flashcard ever again!
Mobile Apps
Ditch the computer and study on-the-go with your iOS/Android tablet or smart phone. The more time you can spend connected to your studies, the better!
Meetup Groups
Meet others in your local area who share an enjoyment of different languages and cultures. Experience cultural activities and make new friends!
Community Support
It can be hard to keep your study motivation strong. Get involved with the student community and ask questions, answer questions or just hang out.
OpenLanguage is dedicated to helping busy people learn a new language. Globalization is driving the need for all of us to be more multilingual in this Internet Age, but unfortunately most existing study alternatives were designed for the Industrial Age. By using technology to re-conceive the language classroom, language learning can be made more convenient and effective.
