Description:
We have launched a language training company that features unique materials and a revolutionary method to teach people to speak a second language. The system has been used successfully in the school market for 10+ years, and we have created materials for the adult market, including universities/colleges. We can demonstrate the effectiveness of the program with any group of students in as little as 30 minutes. Essentially, we have been able to pinpoint many of the problems associated with traditional language instruction and have created a program that utilizes a memory system to help students learn to speak a second language--we are currently concentrating on English and Spanish instruction, although the method can be applied to ANY language. We have developed a memory exercise program for Seniors, as experts in aging and memory state that "learning a foreign language" is one of the strongest cognitive exercises that Seniors can undertake in order to keep their minds (URL removed) want to attack this market!
