Opening paragraph sounds like advertising

The opening paragraph reads like this... Immerse Learning (formerly called Languagelab.com) is an English school based in an Online Virtual World. It is the first school that teaches exclusively online in a virtual environment; students and teachers use avatars to navigate the environment and take part in lessons. Lessons are also completely contextual, which is in direct contradiction to the traditional classroom system. It sounds like an advertising blurb, like someone is bragging about how their site is special and different. The superlative claim comes across as false at face value. The claim of "direct contradiction" is simply false. I think it should be revised but am not sure what description would be good. - Douglaspperkins (talk) 08:27, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
