Edit: The tournament\u00a0is now closed. The competition was fierce, but mighty\u00a0Bulgarian has come out on top in 2015! Congratulations to our contest MVP\u00a0Marit Ombudstvedt!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that time again\u2026 Transparent Language\u2019s 2nd<\/sup> Annual Multilingual Madness Tournament<\/a> is here!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reigning 2014 champion Italian<\/a> is ready to defend the title, but we\u2019re switching things up this year. If you played along in 2014, you\u2019ll remember that we pitted two languages together in a match-up and asked you to vote for your favorite. This year, instead of voting for your favorite languages in each round, you\u2019ll actually be learning<\/em> them.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, we\u2019re giving you a free Transparent Language Online account\u00a0for the duration of the contest<\/strong>, which kicks off today! Here’s how to play:<\/p>\n

1. Sign up!<\/strong> Dribble over to the\u00a02015 Tournament Home Page<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and register for the contest. While you’re there, be sure to check out the tournament dates, rules, and scoring. After you register, you’ll receive and e-mail with instructions for accessing your free Transparent Language Online account. Create your account and you’re ready for game day! (Existing customers, you\u00a0do<\/em> need to register for the contest, but you won’t need to create a new account.)<\/p>\n

2. Start learning!<\/strong>\u00a0Your Transparent Language Online account gives you full access to all 32 languages in the Multilingual Madness bracket. You can learn as few or as many as you’d like. Explore a new script in our alphabet courses, learn how to get by in an Essentials course, give your vocabulary a boost, practice your pronunciation, or brush up on some grammar in the reference section.<\/p>\n

3. Score points! <\/strong>The only way to score points this time around is to get social. Every time you take\u00a0a screenshot of what you’re learning in Transparent Language Online and share with us on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>, you’ll score two points.<\/p>\n
