In-flight language learning programme
Singapore Airlines has introduced an interactive language learning programme where each out of 22 languages including Hindi and Tamil is read out by an expert on the in-flight screen and displayed for correct pronunciation.

To learn a new language from a choice of 22 languages, passengers can select their mother-tongue along with the language to be learnt.

With Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Turkish, Tamil, Arabic, Hindi, Malay, Tagalog and Dutch, in addition to English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Russian, Portuguese, Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese, the language learning programme promoted through Berlitz Word Traveller intends to help travellers interact with people from most corners of the globe.

The whole learning process is interactive and that makes it entertaining and serves as a useful knowledge tool, says B K Ong, general manager, India, for Singapore Airlines.
