The day we’ve all be waiting for has come, and I have to say I’m a little sad it’s here. It’s been a pleasure to play along with you all, and I hope you’ve had fun learning a new language during our 2014 World Cup of Languages! You all deserve a pat on the back for your effort, and I hope you’ll continue learning and exploring your language(s) of interest!<\/p>\n

But enough with the sentimental stuff. Ladies and gents, we have a winner.\u00a0With an impressive win of 2,832 points to 1,170, Japanese has defeated Italian!<\/strong> Totaling more than 325 total hours learned throughout the entire competition, Japanese was among the top contenders all along, and didn’t let us down for a second in the finals. I think we can all agree that they deserved the win.<\/p>\n

\"Champion\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Congratulations, Japanese learners and fans! We randomly selected a winner among the pool of entrants who selected Japanese as their winning language, and\u00a0Tim Groth is the lucky winner of a free 6-month subscription to Transparent Language Online and a free Transparent Connect tutoring session!\u00a0<\/strong>Tim, you will be contacted by e-mail shortly with the details. To the rest of you, be sure to check your inboxes later today\u00a0for a little surprise, as my way of saying thanks for playing along! Until next time: happy language learning!<\/p>\n
