Accelerated Learning Language Course for Italian
The Accelerated Learning method is a rich, multi-sensory "theater of the mind." All of your senses are involved so that learning a foreign language becomes as easy as your mother tongue. As children we all learned to speak not just by listening but by seeing and doing. By imitating sounds, copying our parents' actions and associating the sounds with the actions speaking came naturally. With Accelerated Learning you learn your new language - Spanish, French, German or Italian - in exactly the same way that you learned your first language. Based on research from diverse experts in the field of education and psychology - from Bulgarian Georgi Lozanov who pioneered the use of Baroque music, to Howard Gardner of Harvard with his Theory of Multiple Intelligences - Accelerated Learning home study courses provide a wide variety of physical, visual and auditory stimulation. Because your whole brain is involved learning becomes faster, more enjoyable and much more effective. Each foreign language course contains the revolutionary physical learning DVD and booklet, 12 CDs (each 60 minutes long), text book with memory maps, the "name game", and a series of word cards and games.
