Balingua au pays du Soleil levant!

October 25, 2007

PLATO, concepteur de logiciels linguistiques présente son adaptation du cours d’anglais BALINGUA pour le marché japonais.

En janvier 2007, la S.A. BALINGUA lançait l’application Internet de son nouveau concept d’acquisition des langues. Révolutionnaire dans son approche, la méthode Balingua® repose sur ce que les langues ont en commun (les mécanismes neurolinguistiques).

Objectif : propulser l’apprenant débutant dans la langue cible en un temps record et lui offrir l’accès à l’expression orale en moins de 20 heures.

Ce mardi 30 octobre aura lieu la signature du contrat de la licence octroyée à Plato pour l’adaptation du cours d’anglais Balingua pour le marché japonais. La cérémonie se tiendra en présence de Mr Kosuke Asakura, Président Directeur général de Plato, et proposera en avant-première cette adaptation avant son lancement officiel prévu fin 2007.

Le contact entre les deux sociétés a été pris par l’intermédiaire de l’AWEX au Japon, lors de la mission économique de juin 2005, présidée par S.A.R. le Prince Philippe.

Training project in Belgian secondary and primary schools!

October 8, 2007

Since September Balingua has launched a project in various schools of the Province of Liège : It consists in training teachers about the Balingua method. A Balingua team is visiting various schools interested in this new project: the language teachers are trained to implement the Balingua method in their classes, while their students are in the beginning phase of their second language study . An interesting experiment that we are carrying out with lots of expectations!

L’italiano è pronto!

June 28, 2007

A new language has appeared on www.balingua.com: Italian is now available as target language!

Ines has made the Balingua version of this 11th language: thank you, Ines! Or, better: grazie tante, Ines!

The Balingua version of the website for Italian speakers will follow soon.

Learning English: Balingua and GymGlish work hand in hand

June 14, 2007

Have you started learning English with Balingua and would like to go further? Balingua recommends you an original and playful e-learning way: GymGlish. Why a cooperation between Balingua and Gymglish? Because Balingua offers instruction for beginners, which GymGlish doesn’t. With GymGlish, non-beginners learn many aspects of the language, thanks to an e-mail per day: Click here to learn more about the Delavigne Corporation!

Balingua’s on the move…

May 24, 2007

In every sense of the word, Balingua’s on the move! In June, the beta version of our brand new website should be online: Its look will be totally new… More details in a few days…

Another change: Our offices are now partially located in the court of an old castle in the Blue Ardenne (the area south Liège, around Spa): bigger, brighter, ours! At this moment, Etienne, Julie and I have moved in. The others will follow, I’m sure!

On the move too: Languages! Portuguese from Portugal should be online by the end of June; Italian (expected by so many of you!) in July. Not only two important European languages will then be offered for language structure acquisition, but also 10 million of Portuguese and around 60 million of Italians will have the chance to start the study of a new language using their native language as the reference language!
