Language Courses Offered Via Email/RSS Book Delivery Service
Mamaroneck, New York - February 7, 2008 - DailyLit (www.dailylit.com), a digital publisher and service that allows users to read entire books via email and RSS installments, has signed a deal to offer Berlitz language courses via DailyLit.
The Berlitz Spanish language course, sent in 90 installments according to the individual schedule set by each student, is the first language course created exclusively for DailyLit. Each installment is equal to one daily lesson, with the ability to receive the next installment immediately. The lessons focus on vocabulary, usage and grammar and lay the groundwork for conversation. The entire course costs $6.95.
Other Berlitz language courses offered by DailyLit include expressions of the day in French, Italian and Spanish. Such phrases are from Berlitz's HIDE THIS…BOOK series, including HIDE THIS ITALIAN BOOK 101 and HIDE THIS FRENCH BOOK FOR LOVERS. Phrases range from e-mail talk and shopping to pick-up lines and expressions for breaking up. Such courses cost from $3.95 to $6.95.
"The DailyLit concept is a natural fit for Berlitz," said Sheryl Olinsky Borg, Publishing Director, Berlitz Publishing, "DailyLit targets the busy reader who looks to spend just five to ten minutes a day reading or learning, and Berlitz is known throughout the world for delivering language-learning products to meet every type of learner's needs. We were able to use our long-standing language expertise to develop a program tailored to the needs of the busy reader that wants to learn a new language."
