Language learning
uTalk's language software was originally available on CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and later as a USB and download. The company's range includes 130+ languages, including lesser-known languages such as Kinyarwanda, Chibemba, Greenlandic and Oromo. Latest additions to the range include Cockney.
uTalk is distinctive among language self-study programs, in teaching most of the target languages with a choice of 130+ help languages, so the programs can be used all over the world.
The company's products are sold worldwide through their website and a network of experienced distributors; 70% of their revenue comes from outside the UK. Their content is also sold under the Instant Immersion brand in the US.
uTalk has won The Queen's Award for Innovation.
Junior Language Challenge
uTalk hosts an annual competition for children under 11 across Britain called the Junior Language Challenge. The goal of the competition is to encourage children to start learning languages at a young age. It also raises money for the company's sister charity, onebillion, funding educational resources in Malawi. 2016 champion Ritisha Baidyaray won a family holiday to Africa and will be visiting Malawi this summer.
