Description:

Although Ms. Vera Birkenbihl came up with this revolutionary aproach to learning languages about 30 years ago, it is virtually unknown outside of Germany. Not only is it the fastest and most effective way of acquiring a language, it is also a catalyst for growth in its own right. By demonstrating that every student can learn a language regardless of "talent" by following these simple steps, Ms. Birkenbihl undoes one of the prevailing myths which claims that "language learning is for the talented". After all, we were all able to learn our native language, proof that our language learning equipment is perfectly functional. Successful language learning is a matter of using brain-friendly learning strategies instead of forcing our brains to practice exercises that they are ill-equipped to perform. As documented in the studies described in this book - this works!!
