METHOD The success of Linguaphone is based on the simple Linguaphone method of Listen, Understand, Speak, and Write. You learned a language as a child using just this method, and you can learn a new language as an adult too. Irrespective of what course you are using the method will be built into the overall design of the course. Listen The audio parts of your course introduce you to listening to a foreign language at an easy pace. Your ears soon become accustomed to the new rhythms and sounds. Listening to a foreign language enables you to start thinking in the language and with a little imagination you can start to realize how you will sound in that new language. Understand The more you listen the more you begin to understand the tones and meanings of your new language. All the course components will help you to develop your comprehension of the new words and phrases you are discovering. Relating sounds to pictures will encourage you to understand exactly what is being said. Initially you will have an image and a word but very soon you will learn to associate the image with the word and construct the word's meaning. Over time, creating that image in your mind's eye becomes second nature and you will understand without conscious thought. Speak With Linguaphone you will start speaking
in your very first lesson, imitating then later taking part in conversations.
Listening carefully to new words and phrases will give the confidence
to imitate the sounds you have heard. With practice and repetition your
speech will become more and more similar to the native speakers you hear
on the recordings in your course. In the same way that understanding becomes
second nature, pronunciation and speak also starts to be more natural
as you become familiar with the new language. With each step forward,
your conversational skills develop as you |
