YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT IN FRENCH, SPANISH, GERMAN OR ITALIAN IN 3 AND A HALF WEEKS

You get a much warmer response when you travel, and command more respect in business, when you speak another language.

Yet it is rare for one's first experience of learning a language to be very successful. Fortunately research has now shown that it was the teaching method that was at fault, not you.

Accelerated Learning is the answer. Based on Nobel Prize winning research, it has proven that learning language can be rapid, effective and above all enjoyable. Although it is very different from old style repetitive methods, it has received widespread academic and commercial approval.

Start by Relaxing

Tension inhibits learning. So Accelerated Learning incorporates relaxation and music to create a highly receptive state of mind.

Your Preferred Way of Learning

Some people learn best by listening, others by seeing, still others through «hands on» experience. Accelerated Learning combines all three, so the course is guaranteed to be right for you.

51

You hear your new language in a series of 12 entertaining radio plays, in short easy-to-absorb sentences. You follow the script with the vocabulary pictorialised in unique "Memory Maps". The stories and these pictures build vivid mental images that make recalling the language easy and natural.

Then you experience the language through a series of enjoyable games and activities. These include the Name Game, which enables you to understand leterally hundreds of words from the very first day.

The combination ensures that Accelerated Learning activates the learning power of your whole brain. Not just your analytical left brain -but your more imaginative, visual and faster working right brain.

The result is you learn more quickly, learn naturally and retain it.

Tens of thousands of leading businesses, schools and private customers have proven Accelerated Learning to be an enjoyable and superior method. Try it yourself FREE for 15 days.

Fluency

Because you absorb your new language so naturally, you will converse instinctively and confidently.

Can you really speak well in 3 and a half weeks? Yes, the record so far was 31 hours of study.

If you are not completely satisfied that it is the most enjoyable way to learn a language in the fastest possible time - return the course and you will have paid nothing. That's how sure we are.
