Memorization • Endless Hours Of Conjugating Verbs
In as little as 10 minutes a day,
you can learn a new language
The
"EasyLearn" method is Easier and More Fun than any other language learning
program—GUARANTEED
Dear Friend,
Yes, learning a language can be fun, and it
can be easy when you follow the EasyLearn method. Unfortunately, many
people I talk with have shattered dreams about learning another language.
Some have had classes that were long, monotonous, and expensive, and they
never met at convenient times. Others have used tape programs from bookstores
with only one or two tapes, and they provided little more than a guide.
Still others have used the more expensive programs
from bookstores or mail-order, which were too complex to follow. There
almost needs to be a taskmaster—"What are you doing watching television
when you should spend two hours with French," "Turn off the radio and
listen to the German tapes," "Do your exercises, conjugate those verbs,
count to one million in Spanish".... On top of that, one study says that
fewer than 1% of purchasers ever get beyond the first tape. Wow. That's
an expensive waste.
If you have had shattered dreams, you will
find EasyLearn refreshing.
Beware
of "accelerated learning"
The headline on a full-page ad for language
tapes in an in-flight magazine read, "Based on Accelerated Learning Methods."
Baloney. They use the same tedious approach your ninth grade Latin instructor
used—with a relaxation exercise or two added. A relaxation exercise alone
does not do it.
Our EasyLearn programs will really accelerate
your learning. Ours are based on Accelerated Learning methods pioneered
by Dr. Georgi Lozanov of Bulgaria. These methods help activate the "whole
brain" for learning so that you join the creative "right brain" with the
analytical "left brain" for unbelievable learning possibilities.
There
is nothing else available so powerful as EasyLearn tapes
EasyLearn tapes are truly unique. Just as our
PhotoReading is a breakthrough in reading, and the Paraliminal Tapes are
a breakthrough in behavior change, EasyLearn is a breakthrough for
learning language.

Experts
love EasyLearn
"These cassettes
are wonderful for learning a language." Pamela Rand, Senior Optimalearning
Trainer at Barzac Educational Institute.
"We have
found that teachers and students enjoy and benefit from these tapes."
Diane Davalos, President of Expanded Learning.
"Listening
to these tapes, I found myself transported to a realm in which using the
language seems completely natural. There was no stress, but instead an
intense desire to listen again as often as possible. With each listening,
I had a deeper understanding and appreciation for the language. No other
language program I have experienced has been so pleasant and so effortless."
Peter Kline, author of The Everyday Genius.
"I am very
impressed. The production quality of the tapes and the learning techniques
are excellent. I enjoyed the voices of the speakers–warm and friendly
with very crisp and clear pronunciation." Charles P. Reinert, Ph.D., Southwest
State University
"I am really
impressed." Colin Rose, author of Accelerated Learning.
"You have
an excellent product." Terry Wyler Webb, Director of Accelerated Learning
Systems.
"A pleasant,
useful, and relaxing supplement to nearly any language learning program."
Lynn Dhortiy, Ph.D., University of Massachusetts.

Each EasyLearn program consists of only 6 very
short audio, but extremely effective, tapes—you do not have a lot of tapes
to plow through.
Each tape has two 10-minute adventures with
some aspect of life in a different culture. EasyLearn French, for example,
includes "A Day on the French Riviera," "A Hot Air Balloon Trip Over Paris,"
"Tour of a Castle," and others.
|
You
begin each adventure with a relaxation process to calm the body
and focus the mind on learning. Each adventure is presented partly
in English and partly in the target language. In essence you learn
the new language in much the same way you learned your native language.
You live the language in your imagination. You immerse yourself
in the language and culture in a way you cannot by simply conjugating
verbs.
|
Each time you go on an adventure with EasyLearn,
the language becomes clearer and more defined. You better understand the
vocabulary and how the language comes together. You bring in words from
other adventures and see connections from your new language to English.
As you master one adventure after another, you get a sense of accomplishment,
of really owning the language.
You will not have to do translations in your
head. You come to know the meaning of words. Understanding becomes
automatic. You begin using your brain in different ways that improve
other areas of your life. Your brain, as you probably know, has a tremendous
capability for learning—especially languages—but you must activate and
use it in certain ways. When you do, learning is virtually effortless
and limitless.
EasyLearn
teaches a realistic vocabulary
Many other language programs boast vocabularies
of 2,000 to 5,000 words. Yikes! That is a lot to learn, especially when
you are just starting. Each EasyLearn program presents only 800 words,
which anyone can learn. Is 800 enough? Winston Churchhill said that you
really only need 500 words to communicate in another language. Besides,
800 words are a great beginning.
Those huge vocabularies are a problem for the
99% of purchasers who never go beyond the first tape. It is simply too
daunting. EasyLearn makes it easy to go beyond the first tape. EasyLearn
makes it easy for you to learn an introductory vocabulary so that you
can travel in another country.
When you master EasyLearn, go on to one of
those other programs if you want more. They will be much easier to learn
when you have used the EasyLearn method. As a matter of fact, many EasyLearn
students continue using EasyLearn tapes while they are using the more
complex programs. Most, however, feel they do not need to learn more.
They discover that EasyLearn satisfies their needs.
If you are using other programs now, you may
be happy to know that EasyLearn complements all other language training.
It makes the other trainings easier. The EasyLearn method actually "activates"
the additional vocabulary you learn from classes, tapes or trips, or even
from previous learning years ago!
EasyLearn is probably the most effective refresher
available today. If you took Spanish in school, and are finally taking
a trip to Mexico or Spain, EasyLearn Spanish will bring back most of what
you learned in school. It helps make your trip more exciting.

Traveling
is better with EasyLearn
I have traveled in countries when I have had
a base understanding of their language, and I have traveled in countries
when I have had no language understanding. Knowing the language was always
better. I missed out on so much by not knowing. I could not speak with
shop owners in the countryside, I could not find out about off-the-beaten-track
adventures, and I could not always be sure of what I ate or whether I
overpaid. When I got lost I had to fend for myself, and none of the signs
made sense.
In
10-60 minutes a day over a month or two, you will have enough language
to comfortably travel in another country
You probably agree that it is easy to find
the 10 minutes. Maybe it is first thing in the morning, on your lunch
break at work, or after dinner in the evening. Another 10 minutes may
be in your car driving to work or while you are fixing dinner or taking
a bath. Twenty minutes could be on the stairmaster at the club, or relaxing
in the backyard. Before you know it, you will be ready to have basic conversations
with other people in your new language.
And, when you are shopping in the Zona Rosa
of Mexico City, the Mexican people will treat you with more respect knowing
that you took the time to learn their language. They appreciate it—they
know that most Americans expect them to know English. You will probably
even get better prices!
There
are more reasons to learn a new language
|
Understanding a language also brings
a new dimension to life. You will literally think differently. Your
brain will function differently. New ideas will easily pop into
your head. You will no doubt better understand language references
in the newspaper, on a CNN report, when the radio announcer throws
out a foreign word or two, or when someone drops a foreign phrase.
You will even have your own phrases to drop.
The world is becoming smaller. Other
countries are not as remote as they were just 10 years ago. World
travelers are around us all the time. Knowing each other's languages
makes this globe more of a community. If you have been thinking
about learning another language, then by all means, do it now. Order
EasyLearn French, EasyLearn German, or EasyLearn Spanish from us
today. They are not available in most bookstores, so place your
order today!

fun and rewarding.

classroom. Call or email us for discount rates on additional playbooks
for students in your classes.
Using
EasyLearn to learn English
Each
program is designed to help English speakers speak the target language,
such as Spanish. Many Spanish speaking individuals have used the EasyLearn
Spanish to learn English.
While this is not the intent of the program, it can work. The program
is designed with more English and less Spanish on the first session and
moves to more Spanish and less English on the final session. Using the
sessions in reverse order can help a Spanish speaker learn English.
This can also work with the German and French programs.

It's
a small, small world
Today languages such as Spanish, French, and
German are called world languages, not foreign languages.
The world is much smaller as lines between
cultures blur. We have Federal Express, cheap airfares, the Internet,
and CNN to thank for this.
It has become much easier to understand other
cultures and other languages. It is just not as foreign.
Breakthroughs
in language learning have helped to make it easier than ever
"Accelerated learning" principles have taken
the drudgery out of learning languages.
The unique EasyLearn approach takes you on
adventures into life in a different culture. It makes learning gentler
and—believe it or not—fun!
As I mentioned, each program has twelve 10-minute
adventures presented part in English and part in your new language. By
participating in these playful adventures, you will learn the language
in much the same way as you learned your native language.
You will get your "whole mind" and body involved
in the learning process. And, you won't be conjugating endless lists of
verbs.
As a result, you will have a solid introduction
to your new language in 30-60 days with a commitment of 10-60 minutes
a day.

If
you are a PhotoReader, you are in for a treat!
Patricia Danielson, PhotoReading co-developer,
was one of the first to use PhotoReading to learn a new language. Her
special recommendations for PhotoReaders are included with each EasyLearn
program. Remember how in the PhotoReading class we PhotoRead the dictionary?
Patricia recommends PhotoReading the English/French dictionary (or German
or Spanish) on a regular basis. My own personal experience shows it helps!
