Munich (GER), October 2011 - dp, a provider of corporate language training (CLT), has announced its newly created language-product portfolio and learning platform. The language-learning suite Speexx sets new standards for excellence in language training.Armin Hopp, Founder and President of dp, comments, "Speexx will give our customers global access to an exciting blend of learning solutions to help their staff learn a new language and use it in a business environment."



The launch goes beyond just a name change. For millions of language students around the world, Speexx is a game-changer in language learning. It delivers a next-generation enhanced software environment, improved administration facilities, and a great online and offline learning experience. Speexx is built upon seventeen years' experience of providing cutting-edge, engaging language courseware, teacher-led activities, guided student collaboration, and flexible administration tools to seven million students worldwide.

dp works with many of the Fortune 1,000 companies across eighty countries and is well positioned to help its customers assemble a learning package that takes into account the local cultural, technical, and legal issues.

The Speexx language-learning suite includes five elements:

• Speexx Basic - a completely self-paced training system with personalized learning paths. It features easy setup, fast integration in learning and performance management systems, and fast user adaption.
• Speexx Coach - Expert tutors guide every student through a fully personalized learning path - just like a personal trainer.
• Speexx Live - online access to expert, local tutors and group classroom-style tuition - with no need to travel.
• Speexx Phone - scheduled one-on-one intensive phone communication sessions for executives or staff on the move.
• Speexx Class - Connects face-to-face instruction in the classroom with a personal online tutor available 24 hours a day.

Hopp adds, "Other language-training companies still continue to offer eLearning programmes, but this only goes part way to delivering effective language training. To really put knowledge into practice, the training must be supported by skilled teachers and not just a software program."

"That is why we deliver a range of tailored, on-the-ground classroom support and virtual learning solutions backed up with eLearning tools to help individuals practice their vocabulary and grammar and to build their confidence. Our blended and global approach takes people's busy work schedules into account and delivers the best possible format to deliver tangible results", he continues.
