Who is Transparent Language?

Dear Transparent Language Customer,

Our breakthrough products allow you to successfully use real foreign language.

Here's the key concept--acquiring and maintaining another language is really about using that language regularly and successfully.

Remember how long it took for you to communicate a few simple sentences in a foreign language? You memorized the words. You studied the conjugations. You internalized the dialogue. Now ten years have come and gone, and the only expression you recollect is "See you later." (If you're lucky.)

In 1989, Transparent Language broke new ground in language learning with its "successful immersion" approach, a program designed to give you regular, immediate exposure to authentic language; language the way it's applied in day-to-day situations, whether at home, on the road or at work.

Using a fusion of sound, video and pictures, combined with the expertise of leading linguists, we made learning language interactive, fun.

To get a taste for a foreign language, take a course, But if you'd rather plunge in to language proficiency with 100 percent satisfaction, discover our scope of products, from our award-winning LanguageNow! Master Program and Add-on Titles , to GrammarPro!, WordAce!, Easy Translator, Power Chinese, Power Japanese, Kanji Moments and Transcend (Version 2.0), our latest reference and translation software offering.

We didn't invent language learning and usage.

We revolutionized it.

Sincerely,

Michael Quinlan

President
