Statement from Linguaphone Group - 17 April 2020

17th April 2020
Latest News

For over 115 years, the Linguaphone Group has been there to help customers worldwide learn a new language.

Despite the current pandemic, the Linguaphone Group and our global Pingu’s English and Direct English partners continue to deliver our world-leading English language programs to all of our students, whatever their age or proficiency.

While there have been challenges, I have genuinely been inspired by the dedication and innovation shown by our partners and their staff. I’d like to extend my sincere appreciation to all of them, as well as our headquarters staff for their ongoing hard work and commitment.

I would also like to applaud the resilience and adaptability of the most important audience of all  – our students. I’d like to express a heartfelt thank you to all our current students and parents for their loyalty and understanding during these exceptional times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pingu’s English

For our younger audiences, we are running Pingu’s English online classes in many countries. We are also supporting parents with free daily activities through Pingu’s English at Home.  Here, parents will find lots of inspiration to help their child continue learning while our schools and kindergartens are closed. This includes worksheets, recipes, songs and games – all designed to keep their children learning and entertained at this time.

 

 

 

 

 

Direct English

For our adult students, our new online learning platform – Direct English Live – is bringing our world-renowned Direct English language training system to their homes, while our training centres remain closed. Available for use on smartphones, laptops and desktops, Direct English Live is being offered through both group and private online classes. Direct English provides a host of other online resources and practice tools. This will help those at the start of their journey to learn English, as well as those who want to develop a complete proficiency.

 

 

 

 


For sure there will be challenges ahead. But let’s work together as a global education community – stay positive, and most importantly safe. 

Derek Price, CEO, Linguaphone Group

Testimonials

We at the British Chamber of Commerce worked with Linguaphone Group to find them a new in-market partner for the Korean market. Throughout the engagement we had with Linguaphone Group, we found them to be passionate about education, supremely professional in their approach to business and both responsive and personable in their interactions with ourselves and Korean partners. Korean investors were attracted to the best-in-class program which Linguaphone Group offers, the strong reputation of the company and the heritage with which it is associated. These are qualities that resonate globally.

 Sean Blakeley, BCCK CEO

Our Experience with Pingu’s English has been profitable and positive from the first year. We relied on their professionalism and heritage, their staff is always prompt to assist with the latest trends and ideas on the market. We were looking for a brand who can guarantee us quality and a solid method but at the same time would leave us the freedom and flexibility in order to succeed in our challenging and competitive market like the Italian one. We built Pingu’s English project in Italy by mixing their huge international experience in the English training with our knowledge of the Italian market. All this enabled us to do the right decision for our winning investment. Today we have over 40 Pingu’s English centres and thousands of happy children learning English.

I knew about Pingu’s English School through a friend. After research about the school, I decided to enroll my daughter and it was one of the best things I could do to her. She loves studying at Pingu’s English and she cannot wait to the day of the class. I also love Pingu's English School, because there she learns by playing and I can see her progress day by day.

Now she is studying at Pingu’s English School, my daughter only wants to talk to me in English and she is always singing the songs.

Cristiane Doimo

Pingu's English Student's mother /Brazil

Regarding the teaching method they use a figurative storytelling way of starting the lesson,  trying hard to involve the child and make the them curious about the situation. Tom is very happy to go to Pingu’s English because he perceives the School as a playful moment and not just as a learning moment while at the same time he is learning a new language

Veronica

Pingu's English Student's Mother /Italy
