Portland, OR (PRWEB) March 24, 2014 -- OpenSesame, the world’s largest source of online training courses, is proud to announce a partnership with language learning provider, Living Language, expanding OpenSesame’s language training content by more than 40 courses.
“We are very excited to have the Living Language courses in the OpenSesame marketplace,” say Spencer Thornton, Director of Content for OpenSesame. “There is a high demand from customers for engaging and fun language training which is exactly what Living Language has done with their courses.

The method is based on courses developed for the U.S. State Department’s overseas diplomats, and employs a four point approach to encourage fluency. By delivering the training through elearning courses, users can access exclusive interactive content, like games and quizzes, to aid with retention and recall of a language.
“One of our goals at Living Language is to share the experience and the importance of learning a language with travelers, businesses, and students,” said Dan Zitt, Vice President, Content Production for Living Language. “Working with OpenSesame has given us a platform to share our online course content with people who value the cultural and professional benefits of being able to communicate with people around the globe.”
OpenSesame customers will be able to access 42 Living Language courses covering 14 languages including: Arabic, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and English for non-native speakers.
