Your reports are very interesting. I do market research on the language training industry here in France and am looking for global data, since with distance learning, local is becoming global. Namely : who are the top 20 e-learning providers today, what are their revenues and who are the top language training networks and what their estimated revenues might be. Any sources you can point out would be very welcome.

I’m a little puzzled by your description of the two top global e-learning providers being Rosetta Stone and Tell Me More : for Rosetta Stone you’re right, though their revenues in the US are currently in freefall, but Tell Me more’s revenue is estimated at around 27 million dollars (the company announced 21 M euros for 2011 unchanged versus 2008) whereas GlobalEnglish’s revenue is estimated at between $35 and $40 million today with Englishtown not very far behind (around $30 M).

What do you think ?
Kindly, Andrew

Firstly I must congratulate you on your website, and the series of articles about the language market. Highly informative and very interesting.

I wonder if you can point me in the right direction. I am looking for market information specific to the children’s market. Whilst I can find data relating to the older student/adult language learning market, is there a good reference that will give me figures relating to the market for children under 12-years?

Thank you.

Clive.

nice way of saying this, and in fact there is an increasing awareness about languages and cultures, accepting each other diversity and nurturing it. It is by being exposed to different people that you become more and more aware of these differences and get to appreciate them.

I have had the fortune to travel a lot in my life, meet many people and bring back with me something of each of them, something that is the result of culture and language amongst others, and leave behind something of mine.
I believe and hope that Myngle can provide a bit of the same even when people are not in the position to travel: put them in contact and learn from other people on the other side of the world. And give teachers the chance to earn by doing what they love most.

I have heard many beautiful stories already from people that have joined Myngle, teachers like you, students… people feel connected, people who appreciate each other, people who love to teach and others eager to learn…

Thank you Klara for having been always so supportive, right from the beginning, through the ups & downs typical of a new venture.
You saw the long term direction we are looking at…

Now, we are still faced with the same dilemma. But with man’s unending search for wisdom, his exercise as the supreme animal of the universe, we see at present the “Work of Man, A Gift from God”__ The Evolution of Technology

Through this, man can easily access himself to anything he opts to do. In the field of languages, a linguist or any one who hungers for any language is no longer far fetched. It’s easily done through e-learning. And Myngle is in it and it’s in the right track.

Today, as Marina reported, we can see the domino effect of language acquisition because many believe that languages learned locally or internationally connect each one in every aspect.

I am saluting those individuals, groups, and companies that designed this marvelous system for understanding and appreciating the individuality and culture of each nation. For them, business is maybe the core, but the learners and teachers see it in a wider horizon.
