Linguaphone (company)

Linguaphone is a company that helps people learn languages. The company now specialises in self-teaching courses through books, cassettes, CDs and multimedia.

The company was founded in 1901 by Jacques Roston a translator and language teacher who emigrated from Poland to the UK and combined Thomas Edison's invention of sound recording, and Alexander Graham Bell's development of wax cylinders to create a method of language learning that could be used at home without the need of attending regular classes.

The Linguaphone Group operates under the internationally recognised 'Direct English', 'Linguaphone', and 'Pingu's English' brand names.
