Mountain View, CA, March 02, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Loqu8, the pioneer in augmented learning, today announced iCE 6 Free, the ad-supported version of the company’s popular Chinese-English dictionary and translator for those who want to understand and learn Chinese.
"In 2010, China officially surpassed Germany as the world’s largest trade export nation," explained Dr. Timothy Uy, President and CEO of Loqu8. "Previously China also surpassed Japan as the world’s second biggest economy. Global organizations are finding Loqu8’s augmented learning technologies to be a powerful tool for interfacing with suppliers, customers and agencies in China."
"If you’re in your early 30s and you’re thinking you want to spend time in China, or grow a business there, or work for a multinational doing business there, you would be at a disadvantage if you did not have Chinese language ability," suggested Kenneth G. Lieberthal, Director of the John L. Thorton China Center and senior fellow in Foreign Policy and Global Economy and Development at The Brookings Institution.
* Learning Chinese hasn’t been easy, but iCE now makes it easier
The U.S. State Department’s Foreign Service Institute (FSI) estimated Mandarin competence to require 88 weeks of study (2,200 class hours) with half that time in the region where the language is spoken by natives. Organizations like the United Nations and the U.S. State Department have been using Loqu8’s augmented learning technologies to accelerate the learning process for key individuals.
