Press Release Body = FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE E-Learning – New Online Language Tuition Service London, UK, 24th January, 2005 – The importance of learning a foreign language is

However, in reality people with language skills are in the minority. “Part of the problem is that people see learning a foreign language as a hassle. Not only do they have to learn new grammar and vocabulary, they also have to attend classes and sacrifice their own ‘free time’,” explains Neil Payne, MD of Kwintessential. Kwintessential, a company that traditionally provided face to face language tuition,
is now launching an online language tuition service designed for individuals that
have the desire to learn a foreign language yet want to control the when, where and “Many people still prefer the traditional face to face arrangement but we have seen that many people are just too busy, cannot commit to regular times, do not want to travel to classes or simply want to be able to learn a language sitting on the sofa,” adds Payne.

The new online set-up allows the learner to take foreign language lessons using
internet based programmes such as messenger services. Students still ‘see’ their

keen to learn but need greater flexibility, parents that would prefer their children
to learn at home, people living in rural communities with poor access to language
schools, the disabled, learners wanting more one-on-one attention and of course the‘couch potato’. About Kwintessential ### Web Site = http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/online/language-tuition.html Contact Details = CONTACT INFORMATION:
