A comprehensive language programme for young learners, "The Language Market" offers a lively, fun way of learning a foreign language. Fully animated and easy-to-use, each programme contains 16 different units with up to 12 activities in each. Features include a vocabulary section and a talking dictionary and each programme comes complete with a user's guide listing the key language structures covered in each unit.

"The Language Market" is a fully sequenced programme so that the next unit can only be accessed once you have achieved a satisfactory level of proficiency in the previous activity. Progress can also be monitored through the cumulative scoring system. This is determined by the number of correct and incorrect answers and the use of translations, for which you lose points.

"The Language Market" is available in French, German and Italian and is due to be complete in three levels for each language.
