In how many languages can you order beer? Berlitz International owns or franchises more than 400 language centers in over 50 countries -- where nearly six million language lessons are given annually, accounting for more than 60% of sales. The company also offers on-campus English language instruction under the ELS Educational Services name and publishes paperback and pocket-sized travel guides, language phrase books, bilingual dictionaries, and self-teaching language products (including CD-ROMs and audiotapes). Subsidiary Berlitz GlobalNET (about 20% of sales) provides technical and software translation and electronic publishing. In 2001 Chairman Soichiro Fukutake's Benesse Corporation bought the 40% of the company it didn't already own.
