25th Anniversary

TELL ME MORE^®, provider of the first language learning software program to successfully fuse advanced speech recognition technology with language learning based on the communicative approach, is pleased to announce its 25th year in business.
 
Founded as Auralog in 1987 with a small group of technological and linguistic experts, the company has now grown to supporting 8 million learners worldwide, 1 headquarters and 5 global satellite offices, 350 employees, and solutions deployed in 65 countries.  This historical progression and geographic expansion has been achieved via self-funding and with the result of expanding revenue year over year. 
 
Expanding from a consumer-based product to a business-to-business language learning solutions provider, today TELL ME MORE is acknowledged as a forerunner in the e-learning industry, meeting both Education and Corporate market needs.   For schools and universities, TELL ME MORE provides blended learning, additional student practice outside the classroom, and grading functionality to facilitate assessment. For business learners and employees, we have added distance learning services in the form of phone courses and virtual classes, as well as a tiered structure to account for variances in motivation.  Both solutions include everyday and professional content adapted to individual, student, and business training, enhanced by pedagogical and technical services to assist customers.
 
TELL ME MORE provides rich, quality content based on interactivity and varied learning facilities. Our program’s strength is not only based upon grammar, lexical, phonetics and conjugation; it also includes materials culturally relevant to the language(s) studied. Due to its depth and variety of activities, TELL ME MORE enables learners to improve their oral and written communication in both expression and understanding.
 
Now in its tenth version, the TELL ME MORE program provides native speakers of English (British and American), French, Spanish (Castilian and Latin American), German, Italian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Japanese, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Thai, Korean, Slovak, and Turkish the opportunity to learn one or more of 11 languages. 
 
Founder and CEO Nagi Sioufi states, “Our success and longevity is deeply rooted in the expertise of our teams and the passion for language acquisition we all share.  As we reach this milestone, I applaud our efforts and look forward to delivering future innovation to language learning solutions globally.” 
 
A solutions provider for global corporate training and development programs, TELL ME MORE’s corporate clients include: Alcatel-Lucent, Alstom, Axa, FedEx, GDF Suez, MBDA, Nissan, Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis, Sony Computer Entertainment, Thales, Toyota, Valeo, Volkswagen, and World Health Organization.
