Languagelab.com

Languagelab.com provides English language students with an online contextual 3D environment - allowing them to learn socially, in a way that reflects real life situations and gatherings.

Languagelab.com was founded in 2005 with a mission to transform language learning – to allow students to rapidly improve their English by speaking it every day, taking part in real activities with real people. Languagelab.com provides round-the-clock classes with qualified native-speaking teachers, and unlimited practice time for students from around the world.

Languagelab.com’s unique learning environment – English City (http://www.languagelab.com/about/english_city/) – features restaurants, bars, museums, theatres, a railway station, an airport and much more – and can be adapted to the needs of different users and organisations.

Languagelab.com has recently secured $1 million in funding from a group of technology investors. The investment by serial UK Tech Investors Avonmore Developments and Stephen Bullock, along with Huda Associates, will enable Languagelab to continue its rapid development of English City.

In addition to strengthening the services already available within English City, the funding will support Languagelab’s expansion into the rapidly expanding markets of Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. The investors were impressed by Languagelab.com’s team, international appeal and potential to define and lead a new dimension in social learning.

Regardless of level, background and requirements, Languagelab.com provides the best way to learn English, because of its flexibility and the completely contextual nature of learning English City provides.
