Belgrade, Serbia — February 3, 2012 — PRODIREKT LLC today said it will join forces with Paris based Entertainment Learning SAS to market its flagship language learning service, English Attack!, in the Balkans. The exclusive regional partnership agreement is expected to be announced shortly.

Paul Maglione, co-founder of Entertainment Learning said: “We interviewed many potential partners for the Balkan region, and finally found what we were looking for in PRODIREKT LLC.
