The unique learning methods of the Arabic Language Course:

The heart of this Arabic course is in the long-term memory learning method and daily exercises.
 
The daily exercises ensure that you learn your new language for 17 minutes every day.

The long-term memory method of 17-Minute-Languages:


This learning method is based on the newest findings from research on vocabulary learning.
Every word to be learned will be repeated at precise intervals.
 
The long-term method works like this:
 
You learn a new word.
This word is then registered in the program.
The systematic repetition of the word begins immediately:
 
  1. First thing on the following day you have to correctly translate this word.
  2. The program then waits for two days.
    On the third day you will be prompted by the same word again.
    You then have to translate it correctly.
  3. The program then waits 4 more days.
    On the eighth day you will be prompted by the same word yet again.
  4. The program then waits a final 9 days.
    You have to correctly translate the word just one more time on day 17.
If you knew the word on each occasion, by this time you will never forget it!
It is permanently stored in your long-term memory.
(Important to know: If you forgot the word to be learned on any occasion during the repetition phase, the repetition starts again.)

With this learning method, you will learn all of the vocabulary in this Arabic course.
New words will be added to your lessons every day.
Your vocabulary will grow rapidly.
 
You can decide each day how you would like to learn the Arabic vocabulary:

  • If you wish to learn very thoroughly, you can also work with a written translation-program and fill in blanks.
  • For quick repetition, the program has a "Quick Revision"-function.
    You simply enter whether you know a particular Arabic word or not.

    Especially being able to print flashcards has been new to me an I think it's brilliant! They are really easy to print and front and back are fitting on top of each other! The every-day situations make learning much easier since sentences out of everyday life are a great motivation learning a language. Learning varies at all time because there are so many different ways teaching myself the language.“
       (Kelly Roberts)
     
  • „The vocabulary trainer is jut awesome!!! This is how you motivate people to learn! Words have to be repeated until you spell them correctly. Also, I think its great being tested in both languages. Either one way or the other, it's up to you. I'm pretty sure this how you will remember your vocabulary! The texts are chosen very well, directly taken out of every day life, very understandable for everyone, meaningful and very helpful for general use. I also like being able listening to the texts line by line and listening to the vocabulary particularly as often as you want to. This programm is super easy to handle. Thumbs up!“

  • „In my opinion the best thing about this course is being able clicking on and listen to every single word and sentence! This used to be my greatest problem - pronunciation. Moreover I've found the fill-in-the-blank texts very helpful. When working on my first fill-in-the-blank text I didn't believe it would work out but it was surprised by how much I knew! Since I rather pay more attention to speaking skills I expected the writing skills to be way too complicated and thought I wouldn't need them. Meanwhile I am very happy to be able to speak and write the language! Thanks so much!“
       (Cathrine Hemsworth)

What our clients say
... about our long term memory learning method


  • „I've been mostly impressed by the long-term method for learning new vocabulary, since I didn't expect knowing the vocabulary after a pretty long break. The explanation of the psychological backgrounds and the systematics of the memory performance respectively makes the learning methods much more comprehensible. “
       (Scott Wilkinson)
     
  • „I've been using this language course for 4 months intensively. I think it's really convenient having the possibility to repeat the vocabulary regularly with the long-term memory learning method. I really enjoy this programm for it keeps asking until the correlate word is typed in correctly. Moreover the digital speech of the respective vocabulary is also great.“
       (Gautam Kumars)
     
  • „The long-term memory learning method for keeping vocabulary in long-term memory is, in my opinion, particularly efficient. Thereby you are developing ambition which keeps you going. Also the pages which hide the vocab are tremendously good to get a quick overview and are very suitable to repeat in fast track. I find the displaying of the last seven wrong inputs in the long-term memory learning method very supportive.“
       (Frank Collins)
     
  • „I really really like the vocabulary training method. Here, I'm especially using the long-term memory learning method. I mostly prefer multiple choice and input. This method makes me build up on my vocabulary knowledge quickly. I'm able to connect proper spelling as well as the right pronunciation by the audio output. To get a quick learning success this is essential to me.
    The distinct lessons are prepared well and are really easy to access. Here its especially useful having the possibility playing the particular sequences.“
       (Lauren Grey)
     
  • „I'd learned this language already basically before but I couldn't remember hardly anything about my basics, nevertheless I was able to reaccess the language. For this I'm sure the clear and logical structure of the language course is crucial and also the opportunity to operate within the programm in so many different ways.“
       (Jean-Baptiste Novak)
     
  • „Every day before I go sleep I'm practising my vocabulary with the long-term memory learning method. By purchasing your software I've made a good decision since it's fun learning and gives me a sense of achievement most of the time. As far as I'm concerned this course enhanced my linguistic knowledge because it's design is varying. Another great advantage is the course being suitable for all kind of operating systems. This is what I really like about it since I'm a Linux user and therefor limited concerning software. “
       (Chris Worthingham)
     
  • „I was especially amazed by learning with the longterm-method. The records of the entire vocabulary and dialogues sound very natural and realistic since they were all spoken by native speakers. Putting it in a nutshell, it's a well-made language course.“
       (Markus Großkautz)
     
  • „I really do like learning using the long term memory learning method. Using the pc is much simpler than writing manually. Moreover using the pc is much more efficient since you can not betray yourself - The system is correcting every single mistake also including emphasis which are also registered. Storing the different levels makes repeating the vocabulary and the texts based on the flashcard principle possible and thereby more effective. Learning foreign languages has become a hobby to me - for me, personally, not is it only learning by heart but a leisure pursuit.“
       (Emily Snyder)
     
  • „I liked the logical structure of my language course. The dialogues are easy to follow and very comprehensible. The further possibilities which can be chosen to learn vocabulary by different styles and ways both verbally and written are very well-suited for keeping them in the long-term memory. Even after several months they are still available. My basic understanding of languages has been broaden by this course.“
       (Anton Hockner)
     
  • „It's very beneficial being able to organize your individual schedule and also being able to print out the entire course. The variety of the teaching materials is also great. When it comes to learning vocabulary by using the long term memory learning method you only decide once how long you would like to learn per day. Once you've decided on how long you want learn a day, this will be happening automatically afterwards. So, once you get started you will pull trough. This is also very helpful when having a hard time with motivation. Being able to decide on your own how long you want learn makes this course "feasible".“
       (Henry Smalls)
     
  • „I find the logical and neat outline very appealing. I'm also motivated by the long term memory learning method which makes it easy for me to live up to the learning success of the day before and gets me started over quickly. I've already bought the beginner's course and my experiences with the long term memory learning method are good. You can virtually follow the continuing progress the team is working on - this is what I really like since they give me the feeling that I'm taken seriously when I hand in some suggestions for improvement and changes.“
       (Agatha Low)
     

What our clients say

Above all the text input and the automatic testing of your knowledge gives me a quick and really good result.“

  • „I really have to thank you for the daily exercises. They really give me motivation I need to do at least my daily exercises on a daily basis since I don't have much time left. Additionally I think the great choice of the different ways of learning is gorgeous, e.g. first, taking a look at the vocabulary, secondly finding them hidden in a text and thereby studying them and then being tested and learning vocabulary intensively. “
       (A. Svensson)
     
  • „I am given the possibility to determine the learning rate myself. The daily exercises are giving me the pressure necessary I need to do them.

       (Craig Miller)
     
  • „To me the daily exercises are awesome and be given the possibility to continue right where I stopped by the repetition.

       (Sabine Schwarz)
     
  • „I like the lessons being divided in daily exercises. Still, I can decide by myself independently how much I'd like to learn. That way learning never gets boring. I further like the speakers being native speakers. From the beginning, you are offered short texts which you can gradually elaborate.“
       (Frank Roy)
     
  • „I like the setup of the learning program. As I didn't know any vocabulary when I started I made a good decision by starting with the beginners' program. That way I started with the easiest vocabulary. My daily exercises help me to test what I've learned and also to read and conceive texts quickly. With only 7 vocabularies a day I've already succeeded at learning! I love it! I'm really proud of myself being able to understand and learn a completely foreign language step by step.“
       (Priscilla McIntosh)
     
  • „I particularly like arranging the daily exercises myself. Also I like the way the vocabulary and text exercises are arranged which are in my opinion perfectly mixed. So far I can say: You don't get tired of learning over a long period of time. By putting you scoring online you can compare yourself with others. Thereby you could "compete" with others.“
       (Claudia Redford)
     

What our clients say
... in regard to structure and content of our programme


  • „I appreciate the course' systematic regarding the structure, the clarity regarding the titles you can click on. I also like being able to print out whatever I like and having the correcting aid at my disposal. It's very beneficial having the opportunity to listen to the appropriate vocabulary. This course is definitely meeting my expectations!“
       (Steven Harrows)
     
  • „This course has broadened my vocabulary knowledge tremendously. For me personally, listening to texts and thereby improving my own pronunciation was particularly helpful. Of course this is really motivating, helpful and is giving me a feeling of getting more and more confident when communicating with native speakers. The method by which you acquire vocabulary is excellent - at the same time it's a fantastic exercise to train my brain.“
       (Bill Green)
     
  • „I like the learning units being split in small very achievable units. The vocabulary being taught is very applicable especially for beginners - that's what I really like since I want to learn this language only on a "vacation" kind of level. Additionally I want to point out the learning monitoring and the opportunity given to print out the vocabulary which makes learning a lot easier for me.“
       (Mark Curtis)
     
  • „The lessons are very versatile. This program also provides the possibility to print out cards which I think is very crucial. Since we're getting ready to move these lessons are great to get prepared.
    This course is great!“
       (Tess Carlson)
     
  • „I'm really motivated by the short and not too challenging lessons. They encourage me to hang in there because they are easy to process by the self-learning principle. I really like the versatile testing options. Each term or sentence can be repeated - this way the pronunciation can be memorized much better.“
       (Christen Nixon)
     
  • „The listening examples are suitable for the daily use and are worth learning. Within a short period of time I acquired essential vocabulary which encouraged me to keep going. In addition the recording is realistic, comprehensible and I as a student was given the chance to get an impression what feeling for language means.“
       (Chester Fields)
     
  • „The program is well-structured and clearly represented. The vocabulary tests are also tremendously effective since you cannot cheat. They are repeated over and over again until each vocabulary can be answered perfectly from every point of view.“
       (Dorothy Blake)
     
  • „I think it's a good thing working with different methods e.g. covering terms, multiple choice, quick show, several gap texts, etc. The parameters can also be adjusted, e.g how many new words you would like to learn as well as determine how you want your gap text to look like. Also listening to the records is especially important when learning Arabic since the spelling isn't clearly similar to the pronunciation. Also the positive images and encouraging texts are very supportive. Your support when it comes to studying is also awesome!“
       (Markus Brenner)
     
  • „The many different learning methods is what I like most about this course. There are audio recordings for each sentence or vocabulary by which means I'm able to check my pronunciation - which is way better than phonetics. Vocabulary which were answered incorrectly are tested and asked over and over again until you got them right. Flashcards can be printed out so you can learn even when your on the road. The lesson's topics cover all important areas and are therefor suitable for daily use.“
       (Beatrice Thigpen)
     
  • „The vocabulary and sentences can be learned in many different ways. I have the feeling I'm making good progress despite I'm learning for myself without any contact person. Moreover, I as a teacher of foreign languages need to study further and test new learning methods for my students anyway.“
       (Linda Rhys)
     
  • „The course' surface was being developed very neat. Particularly the instruction and explanation of the versatile opportunities happened to be very successful. The vocabulary and texts are subdivided means comprehension and context - this is also a successful method. You can choose on what you want to pay your attention on.
    All in all this course' concept is well developed.“
       (Jesse Hilton)
