Accelerated Language Learning
“I spent 10 years learning foreign languages at school - and I still can’t speak them confidently!”
Is that how you feel?
Many people have memories of ploughing through grammar and vocabulary exercises at school, only to find that they were unable to communicate effectively in the real world. That is why we use Accelerated Language Learning.
A few of our methods are described below:
Total physical response
Once you have learned to ride a bike, you never forget. Why? Muscle memory. Once the brain associates a task with an action, the memory stays forever.
Synaesthesia
The mind associates certain words with colours. Make use of this amazing ability to remember and retain word genders.
Mind maps
Make use of the incredible synaptic connections in your brain to accelerate your language learning.
Flash cards
We learn to recognise things before we can name them. Pictures and drawing can accelerate vocabulary acquisition.
Language generators
Every language follows certain patterns. Learning the most frequently occurring ones can save time and lead to accelerated progress.
Communicate
By sharing what you have learned with someone else, you accelerate your retention rate tenfold.

Translation and interpretation
Translation is an art form.
No electronic translation tool has yet been introduced that can master the intricacies of idiom, metaphor, connotation and register.
If you are serious about communicating your service or product, you need a translator that can convey exactly what you want to say in precisely the way you want to say it.
Otherwise, you - and your potential customers - may be drawn into a vortex of confusion and misunderstanding.

Language services for business
In a fast-moving internationally connected world, you need to be able to communicate effectively in your clients’ mother tongue.
Intensive courses
Do you need your employees and executives up to speed quickly? We offer tailor made intensive courses to suit your business needs.
Presentation skills
It can be daunting presenting in front of an audience in your mother tongue. Doing so in a foreign language has the potential to be terrifying.
We can help develop and practice your presentation skills: sales pitches, training seminars, team-building exercises, and more.
Telephone skills
Many people can understand documents in a foreign language or communicate simple ideas verbally. But how is your confidence on the telephone?
