Linguality.com — Episode 2: New and improved

Zzzzvcngvcgn_2

That didn't take long: on September 29, 2007 I featured this very cool company, noting that it was too bad they were hiding their light under a barrel, as it were, by burying a demonstration of what they did so deeply in their website that it might as well not be there.

clifyt was able to extract it (but then, that's why I pay him what I do — but I digress) but he's certainly not a typical person.

Understatement.

Anyway.

Jim Roberts, the CEO of Linguality, commented as follows on October 5, 2007:

    Linguality.com

    Thanks everyone for taking a look at our web site. We hope our newly launched site is a little easier to navigate and that you are better able to find the sample PDF download! From the comments we have received so far I think our subscribers are enjoying the books as much as we did putting them together.

    Jim

    CEO, Linguality

I stopped by the site and sure enough, right there on the homepage is a link to their secret sauce (top).

Nicely done, Jim.

I'm just hoping the books show up on the used market one of these days. $170 for 6 books isn't in my budget...especially as the last article on this prompted me to find a Berlitz package and I picked it up for under $20 (with shipping).

I understand the idea of the subscription is to ensure the project continues, and reading up on the collapse of another similar project (Manga-jin...similar for the Japanese markets) I understand why this is so expensive an undertaking...licensing and otherwise kill projects like this...but still it is out of the reach of the average individual.

So anyone willing to sell their used books, send me a note! I got a nice shiney $10 bill just for you!

Thought you'd like to know. I bought a subscription for my wife and she absolutely loves it. She said that the first books are first rate and the annotations cover exactly the words she would have had to look up in a dictionary.
