How it work!

 The Linguaphone method is based on two simple principles: -

-        You learn faster when you enjoy what you are doing.

-        You make progress if the sort of language you learn is useful and presented in a believable, familiar context.

Speaking a language is an active skill - something you learn by doing, not just studying. This is the practical approach taken by Linguaphone to language learning. You will start to speak the new language during the very first lesson. The course begins simply, building your confidence session by session. Soon after, longer sentences are introduced to enable the expression of more detailed and complex thoughts. But the course always concentrates on useful, authentic everyday words and situations. The result is that, after completing a Linguaphone course, you will have a thorough understanding of the language and be able to converse with and understand real people speaking the language.

Listen
Listening to native speakers in your new language is the most relaxing and involved way to learn, helping you associate the sounds you hear with the words and sentences you read. The native speakers on all Linguaphone courses begin by speaking slowly (but without distorting the intonation of the language) and, as the course progresses, speak at normal speed.

Understand
By listening and reading the language, you begin to discover what each word means. Everyday objects have exciting new names. Gradually words, then phrases, become clear and your reading, writing and speaking of the language will improve.

Speak
Many people find that speaking their new language is the hardest part. But Linguaphone's method makes sure that you start speaking from the very first lesson with the correct pronunciation. Imitating the voices of the native speakers on the course will help you get used to the intonation and accent. Later on in the course, you will have the opportunity to take part in conversations. Each lesson introduces new themes featuring useful words and phrases thus developing your conversational skills and confidence.
