Dive Insight:

In a growing international business scene, there is no substitute for having multi-lingual employees who can communicate with each other. More companies have off-shored certain functions of their business, such as customer support and technical development. So too, skill shortages have created a need to work with international and remote employees who may speak other languages.

The Verbling launch addresses language learning in a practical way. This is a model for how other companies may want to approach their language learning needs.
