The Language Market combines sight and sound to create an effective interactive teaching tool that makes learning a second language GREAT FUN!

The Language Market program is self-paced and ideal for independent learning as well as for small groups in multi-level classes. This means it can also be used as an effective motivational tool for slower learners as well as highly computer- literate learners.

Using The Language Market, students will learn to understand, read and speak other languages quickly and easily.
