Leading language and education brand Collins and Livemocha, the world’s largest language learning community, today announced an agreement to provide a new, direct-to-consumer, conversational language-learning experience in Spanish, French, German and Italian.
London, N.Y. (PRWEB) March 3, 2010 -- Leading language and education brand Collins and Livemocha, the world’s largest language learning community, today announced an agreement to provide a new, direct-to-consumer, conversational language-learning experience in Spanish, French, German and Italian which will be available for purchase on Livemocha’s online platform with a growing global community of over five million members.
The consumer offering will combine Collins’ unrivaled expertise in language teaching and reference with Livemocha’s interactive, social approach to produce an innovative online learning experience. Collins and Livemocha will also make the courses available for sale in retail locations around the world.
Rob Scriven, Managing Director of Collins Language, said: “There is a well-defined demographic of language learners who want to learn in a flexible, self-managed style, one which is further enriched by Livemocha's social dimension. Collins and Livemocha are natural partners: Collins as a top language brand and Livemocha as the biggest and best online language-learning site. HarperCollins also brings in to play its effective worldwide distribution capability, enabling the partnership also to provide a blended product to customers in bookshops as well as online. Our mutual ambition is to be the Number One language learning providers of the next decade.'
Shirish Nadkarni, CEO of Livemocha, said: “Livemocha has millions of members around the world learning Spanish, French, German, and Italian. In our collaboration with Collins, we will provide Livemocha members with exciting additions they have requested, and deliver an online language learning experience that surpasses any other.
