The Interactive Language Tour is the first language-learning program that offers a virtual classroom in addition to individual training on the PC. dp has created special software that allows direct communication between teacher and learners via webcam, microphone, and chat.

As in a real classroom, all participants can interact with each other and learn together - but they do this from the comfort of their own home, from their favourite Internet café, or while they're on the road. Online sessions are offered in English, French, Spanish, Italian, and German. They take place several times a week.

The Interactive Language Tour has been granted one of the education industry's most important prizes, the Worlddidac Award. In its latest version of the program, digital publishing has combined the advantages of studying on the PC with the novel idea of live training via the Internet. Students enjoy great flexibility: They decide what, where, when, and how to study.

The learners also have the opportunity to get in contact with a teacher and other learners via the virtual classroom. The group training offers supplemental lectures on current topics, direct feedback from a teacher, as well as the possibility to practice live conversations with other students. Each lecture lasts about 45 minutes. With every Interactive Language Tour, as many as ten live sessions can be booked.

Furthermore, digital publishing now offers additional materials online, including articles on current topics and the revolutionary karaoke function, based on texts and speeches by Barack Obama, Che Guevara, and many other prominent figures.

The Interactive Language Tour is available for English, French, Spanish, Italian, and German. All languages offer live sessions in the virtual classroom. User languages for the German version are English, French, Spanish, and Italian. Booklets also exist in Russian, Turkish, Dutch, and Polish.
