Franklin to help Germans learn English

You’ve probably seen them before, handheld dictionaries that also help you learn another language. Most of them in the U.S. are geared towards other Latin-based languages such as Spanish, Italian, French or German. Now, for the first time Franklin is offering a handheld that will help teach people to speak English.

The new device is aimed towards German market, and will teach German speakers how to speak English. It won’t be just a simple electronic dictionary, though. The device will have a 2.5″ color screen that will actually teach English through Franklin’s interactive course. It can also connect to a TV, take in SD cards, connect to a PC via USB and even play MP3 (because just about everything has to, it seems).
