Price=$0 for GamesforLanguage courses

In January 2014 we started our Learn & Play/Skip & Pay Program. While quite a number of users took us up on our offer of free learning with regular practice, we have decided to make our language courses FREE for all users without any limitations and restrictions.

In the coming weeks we will be launching a new website, which won't have a "BUY NOW" button. It will include our now FREE 36-lesson courses, Quick Games, links to other gamified language sites, and more.
