Introduction

AUTHENTIC AND CONTEXTUAL

“If you can communicate then you can start to understand and empathise with other people, other traditions, other cultures, other ways of life.”

Scott Cardwell, ImmerseMe CEO & Co-founder

ImmerseMe aims to be the world’s best academic language tool.

Content is differentiated into three levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
Learners are progressed through 4 scaffolded learning modes: Pronunciation > Dictation > Translation > Immersion.
Choose from over 3,000 interactive scenarios across 9 languages: German, Spanish, French, English, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Greek and Indonesian.
The layout of lessons can be tailored to match your scope and sequence/curriculum plan.
Examples include: ordering a baguette in Paris, buying a bento box in Tokyo or trying tapas at a Spanish restaurant.

ImmerseMe will prepare learners with the practical language skills they need to thrive as a global citizen.
