Integrated English DVD Course
Many attempts have been made to produce a fully comprehensive English language home study course. Those courses were based on the misconception that by listening to audio cassettes, watching vidotapes or studying workbooks, people would learn English. These methods have achieved only limited success. Recognizing that the best way to learn any language is by speaking it, the Integrated English course was developed. This interactive video course creates a continuous back and forth dialog between student and the video that simultaneously teaches the student to understand, pronounce, read and write English. Integrated English has been university-tested on students of different educational levels, and has proven to be more effective than the individual teacher to student method. Integrated English is the ultimate teaching tool for anyone interested in properly learning English. This course is designed to help Spanish speaking students learn the English language. Includes 24 lessons on 8 DVDs, with 3 Spanish workbooks.

Little Pim DVDs for English
Meet Little Pim, a charming animated panda who guides babies, toddlers and preschoolers on a fun-filled journey to learning a foreign language. Little Pim only speaks in the foreign language, while interacting with babies and young children enjoying everyday activities.

Created by Julia Pimsleur Levine, an award-winning filmmaker and mom, Little Pim is a groundbreaking kids’ language DVD series that offers hours of fun while providing the basic building blocks for learning a foreign language. This multi-disc series of 35-minute DVDs can be viewed in any order, with each DVD teaching 60 words of vocabulary.
