Description

Whether you want to learn a language for personal enrichment, for business school or to get ready to travel abroad, Powerspeak Languages,* is a breakthrough in learning foreign languages. Foreign languages available through this service are Spanish, French, German, Mandarin Chinese, and ESL (Spanish).

Based on the time-tested methods of linguist Dr. Robert Blair, Powerspeak Languages uses an arsenal of approaches that combine systematic learning processes with innovative, yet proven, methods in courses tailored specifically to each language.

Powerspeak Languages doesn't simply rely exclusively on a "listen and repeat" or "rote memorization" approach. It offers what no other language program does -- an optimal mix of progressive, yet tried-and-true teaching methods that reflect the latest language learning methods.

Powerspeak Languages:

  • Simulates gradual immersion through Powerspeak Language's unique "diglot weave" method where learners go from their native language to a new one through a series of gradually immersive stories, activities and innovative learning tools
  • Guides users toward proficiency -- not just words and phrases but listening, speaking, reading, grammar and pronunciation skills
  • Leverages multiple methods of teaching -- encourages multi-sensory learning and reinforcing connections through the use of interactive lessons, courses, expert guidance and learning activities
  • Provides unlimited access via any internet-connected computer
  • Covers the most popular languages, including English for Spanish speakers
  • Explores and teaches about culture in addition to the language
