This is a complete system for learning a foreign language.  We can take you from knowing nothing to being able to hold simple conversations in your new language.  All it takes is 30 minutes of fun learning each day for a month!

Spanish – French – German – Danish – Irish –  Russian

Maybe you want to learn Spanish for a vacation to Mexico, or perhaps you want to learn Russian for a trip to Moscow.  If so, you will probably want to study our travel lessons first.  If you already speak some and want to learn more, you can choose the lessons you like and learn them in the  order that is right for you.

Our lesson plans include:

- Introductions, Greetings and Conversation
- Travel (hotels, airports, and transportation)
- Love (dating, proposing, and romance)
- Shopping (supermarkets, department stores,  etc.)

We Have Both Slow and Normal Speed Audio

Actually perceiving the sounds of your new language can be difficult.  Here’s why.

When you learned your first language, your brain built filters that automatically filter out sounds that aren’t in your native language.

These brain filters can make it hard to really hear the foreign words.  We solve this problem by giving you normal speed words and the words said again very slowly.

Click on this button to hear one way to say the phrase “Pleased to meet you” at normal speed in French.  Try to say the words out loud after the teacher.

Did that seem too fast?  Well that is normal speed for Paris, but it may be too fast for you at first.  Here’s the same phrase said very slowly.

This time try to say each word out loud immediately after the teacher says it. Don’t wait for the phrase to end, say each word immediately after the teacher says it.

You can play the phrase either slowly or at normal speed depending on what you need.

Our normal speed and very slow speed audio will help you learn much faster.

Learn New Words Without Forgetting Old Words

If you learn new words every day, it’s easy to forget the words on Friday that you learned on Monday.  We solve that problem by reminding you to say a word or phrase just before you were about to forget it.

Because we remind you just before you were about to forget, you will make stable memories quickly and you won’t waste time reviewing words you already know.

Stay Interested with Films, Books and Music

If your lessons are boring you will probably quit studying.  We solved the problem of boring lessons by developing “back end software” that lets us quickly take anything you find interesting and turn it into a lesson.

We can take movie clips, songs, books or whatever you like and turn it into a lesson.  Just tell us what you like and we can turn it into a lesson.

It is a LOT of fun to watch a movie clip in a foreign language, then study it for a week and then watch it again and be able to understand every word.

We can Custom Make Lessons for You

Everyone has something that they would like to learn that isn’t in any standard lesson.  This is especially true for companies.

Fortunately our back end software lets us quickly and easily make new lessons. Tell us what you want to learn or what you want your employees to learn and we can quickly make new foreign language lessons for you or your company.

Learn in the Order that’s Right for You

There is a great scene in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s where Audrey Hepburn is trying to learn Portuguese and learns the phrase, “I think you are in league with the butcher.”

This phrase might have been valuable for someone, but it wasn’t really what she needed to learn at the time.  We let you choose lessons that are interesting to you.  You don’t have to study in any pre-defined order.

Fast Learning Through Proven Research

We prompt you to review a word or phrase at time intervals that start small and then increase.  Here’s an example.  First you study a French word or phrase, then you review it after 15 seconds, then 45 seconds, then 1.5 minutes after that, then 5 minutes after that and so on.

The time intervals between reviews quickly grow to be measured in weeks and months.  It’s a very efficient way to learn (and retain) a foreign language.  You learn very quickly and you won’t waste time review what you already know.

This is the most well researched method of forming new memories.  It really works.
