FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does it take to learn a Foreign Language?
We advocate 120-150hours of intensive work spread over 2-3months. It could be longer or shorter than this depending on a lot of factors; time, your determination, your prior proficiency level/exposure to the language e.t.c. But by the end of your 120-150 hours, you should have enough command of the language to go on your own. Of course, you know that learning is a continuous life-long event.

There are free translation softwares online, why do I still need the Language place translators?
Yes, there are free translation softwares, but these softwares are just what they are SOFT! They are only good for SOFT work! Language is multifarious and contextual, and software artificial intelligence cannot handle the complexities involved, especially when what you want to translate is important and the margin for error is narrow. If you want a error-free job, you’d rather let Language Place do it for you!
