Do you speak the lingo?

(I-Newswire) November 29, 2005 - Linguaphone (www.linguaphone.co.uk) has come a long way since the days of vinyl records and carefully enunciated phrases. More than 7 million customers have listened and learned with Linguaphone over the past 100 years and there are now more than 100 language courses available. Top of the pile is AllTalk, an audio-only language course with no reading, no writing - just listening.

A child understands words before it speaks and learns to talk before reading so, for people with a good ear, AllTalk could really speed up the process; it's ideal for those of us who are "too busy" to learn. You can listen in the car, on the train, in the gym, and on your own, advisable if you're going to be repeating phrases! Learning a foreign language this way does mean that you learn the word as spoken without the written version shouting out another pronunciation. All the instructors are native speakers so there's a chance that you'll develop an authentic accent.

Unlike a typical classroom lesson the course is made entertaining because it follows the story of a visitor on a first trip to France, Spain or Italy who can't speak the language. The course comprises 16 units, available on 16 cassettes or CDs, with each unit based on a short series of dialogues and exercises.

What is particularly refreshing is that you can try allTalk before you buy. If you go to the Linguaphone web site you can download audio samples of the courses.
