Hong Kong / Munich, 26th. of September 2005 – As English is the number one commercial language, it proves as an important qualification for many employees. However, companies need to exert more flexibility in their  concept for foreign language courses. At the „Zukunft Personal“ (13th./14th of September, 2005 in Cologne) Cleverlearn (www.cleverlearn.com) demonstrated its mobile flair with it’s PDA-solution  „CleverTrainer“, showing that language courses do not need to be constricted to  seminar rooms.

At the trade fair for Human Resource Management,  Cleverlearn , the major supplier for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) presented it’s new mobile solution,“ CleverTrainer”. This is essentially, a digital learning aid, which can be downloaded free of charge onto a PDA (Personal Digital Assistent) like Palm or a Pocket PC. “Clever Trainer” enables it’s students to check their vocabulary by using a multiple choice procedure.

Amongst the top features of “CleverTrainer” are the preparatory course for TOEIC (Test of English in International Communication) as well as the amusing Idiom Games, where one can aquire explanations of  unknown English phrases. TOEIC is an internationally recognised procedure which companies use to verify their applicants English knowledge capabilities. CleverTrainer contains approximately two thousand original examination questions. These possibilities offer a wide scope, for individual test preparation , regarless of one’s location.

Both the TOEIC-Preparatory course, as well as the Idiom Games, play a part in refreshing English vocabulary. Many trade fair visitors who were convinced of their English competence, were astonished at their lack of knowledge, revealed through  the Idiom Games. The trade fair showed that the majority of people are looking for flexible learning solutions to prepare themselves for exams, and how to use time more meaningfully in everday life.

However, CleverTrainer is not only as a„Do-it-yourself“-Solution attractive. The smoothe integration of the entire spectrum of learning programs  offered from Cleverlearn  promises greater results.The advantage of the integration concept is: All the students vocabulary can be synchronized with his „Personal Vocabulary Book“ and   can be simultaneously retrieved from other applications, for example, the translation tool, Clicktionary or the WordReminder. “Mobility is the future of  modern language acquisition“, says Heinrich Pletschacher, European Country Manager from Cleverlearn in Munich. “With it, companies can offer their employees a more enhanced and flexible  further education program”.
