ABOUT THE
COURSES
Injecting
energy into language learning can be a difficult task. Many courses
on the market today promise their courses are fast and fun, but the
great majority use the same old tired techniques based on tedious
repetion. Unforgettable Languages CD Rom courses use the
Linkword© method, a revolutionary memory technique
to help students rapidly learn hundreds of words, grammar and
beginner to advanced sentence structure. The Linkword© method
removes the most time consuming and boring part of learning a new
language...tedious repetition. For example, here's
how the Linkword© method locks a Russian word into your
memory. |

The Russian word for
COW is
KAROVA
Internet Explorer Audio
Netscape
Audio
How can you remember
this?
Imagine you drove your
CAR OVER
a COW.

This
is Linkword© learning... the more bizarre the image the easier
it is to remember. Each new word is learned by creating
a mnemonic image that associates the sound of the word to its
meaning.
"At least sixty studies have now been published
showing the effectiveness of this technique in enhancing
retention"
Language Learning Journal, Winter
2002
Studies have shown that this method of
learning can improve retention from 28% to 88%.
Currently our courses are being used as supplementary language
courses at prestigious schools in the UK. |
