Brief Explanation
People who travel abroad usually don’t know the languages of the countries that they are visiting. Thus, they try to use sound effects for communication.
From that insight, we’ve imitated a foreigner’s difficult experience by using 'sound sentences'. With the help of sounds, we tried to explain the necessity of learning a foreign language at Inlingua language schools.
