Parlo and Lion King JV Sign China Southern as First Training Client

in

Toronto, Canada, December 3, 2009 – Lingo Media Corporation (TSX-V: LM; OTC BB: LMDCF) ("Lingo Media"), a leader in online and print-based English language learning solutions announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Parlo Corporation (“Parlo”), a training and assessment platform and its joint venture partner, Lion King Education (International) Group (“LKE”), have signed China Southern Airlines (“China Southern”) as the first corporate training client for its English language training platform.

Parlo has worked successfully with its new partner, LKE, who secured this first corporate training client. The service will be used to train more than 5,000 cabin attendants and over 1,200 ground service staff in job-specific spoken English.

The Parlo solution will repurpose China Southern’s training manuals to create nearly 150 lessons which teach cabin crews to deliver English language announcements and to handle conversations with passengers and international support staff. The solution integrates Parlo’s proprietary speech-recognition system to train and test pronunciation. Animated avatars take the place of live instructors for a fully-scalable solution.

China Southern is the largest international airline operating in China, and the world's fifth largest airline by passengers carried. The airline is aggressively expanding its international routes to establish itself as the airline of choice for international business people and tourists coming to China.

China Southern Airlines Party Secretary Zhang Zi Fang said: "The 2010 Asian Games will attract a large number of foreign visitors to Guangzhou, which is the global headquarters for China Southern. It is our goal that all China Southern cabin crew and ground customer service personnel can speak and communicate fluently in English. This will help us to strengthen our overall services to our customers and position China Southern as the first choice for international travel to and from China. English language fluency allows us to build a truly international airline."

Gali Bar-Ziv, Chief Operating Officer of Lingo Media said, "China Southern was eager to find a training provider which could address its specific needs. The airline required that its existing training materials be adapted for online use in the program as added value to its live training. The program needed to focus on spoken English to help staff quickly upgrade the accuracy of their pronunciation and fluency of speech."

LKE and Parlo are jointly developing and marketing an English language training and assessment solution aimed at the adult market in China. The joint venture plans to market, launch and distribute its product line of English training materials from our solo Beijing-based model training center and then through LKE’s 80 schools in 30 cities across China starting in Spring 2010. The Interim Agreement is subject to LKE and Parlo entering into a formal agreement relating to the joint venture.

"Lion King's deep experience and strong relationships in China's training and education industry make them the ideal partner for Parlo in China," said Michael Kraft, President & CEO of Lingo Media. "Parlo’s ability to create custom training materials which are effective, engaging and scalable, combined with Lion King's local market expertise and chain of training centers makes for a winning partnership”.

Zhang Jianchun, Founder & President of LKE said, “Parlo's customized lessons create an effective online practice platform that allows users to repeat the English phrases that are essential to their work. They can do this on their own time, at their own pace, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

Gali Bar-Ziv, Chief Operating Officer of Lingo Media added, “We have been working closely with Lion King to develop and deliver customized English language training solutions for their customer base. We recognized, as did Lion King, that a deeper partnership would give us the ability to tap into further market segments, bringing the Parlo solution to a much wider audience. In the past 15 years, Lion King has provided English language training to over 100 million Chinese – we are excited to be in a position to help train the next 100 million.”
