Interactive language tutorials are being introduced on Singapore Airlines flights.
Up to 11 languages will be available initially, rising to 20 by the end of the year.
The Berlitz International courses will become part of the airline’s KrisWorld in-flight entertainment system which is available on flights from London and Manchester.
Available languages include English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Russian, Portuguese, Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese in four main categories – numbers, dates, words and dialogue.
SIA first introduced the concept on its ultra long range flights from Singapore to New York last summer.
