If you would like to take, say a one hour break, the clock stops ticking until you're ready to work again.
Every word allows you to see how often you have already repeated it today.
Words that you knew immediately will no longer appear in tests for this day.
Word that you are still having trouble with will continue to appear again and again.
For every word you know, you get points.
In this way, you can compare a day's learning with each other. You also see, for example, at which time of the day you learn vocabulary the quickest.
A break after every 30 minutes:
Studies have shown that after a half an hour of learning concentration decreases rapidly.
For this reason, your language course will remind you every 30 minutes that you should take a break.
Stand up, go for a walk, drink a glass of water.
Afterwards, reinvigorated, you are ready for the next half an hour!
(You can, of course, ignore the reminder and immediately continue learning.)

If you know a word, you will see a new photo as a reward.
(We have also thought of something for you even if you answer incorrectly...)

I am very content with your language course and I really enjoy learning with it.
I like the well-structured way of the course and the wide-ranged possibilities which makes learning so much easier and varying as well.
Besides I think it's great you can choose listening to the language as often as you want to as well as being able printing the vocabulary on flashcards.
In any case I would love to thank the experts who developed the course very much! It's fun to learn a new language
with this course!
“
(Gillian Smith)
- „The varied learning possibilities are gorgeous!
They have something in store for everyone.
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!“
(Doro Graham)
- „I particularly loved being able to choose between possibilities and ways offered to workout a key subject.
This is especially relevant when acquisitioning vocabulary.
Thus, I can choose for my individual way of learning.“
(Meagan Lewis)
- „I'm fully pleased with this product. It's been delivered promptly and comprising by your company.
The quality of you exercises is particularly pleasing to me.
By purchasing the language course I'm able to set my learning rate individually.
By this there wasn't any need to attend a language course offered in my home country, instead I'm practising from home.
Your company can be recommended with clear consciences!“
(Regina Fitzgerald)
- „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)
- „The learning-functions for vocabulary especially the long-term and ultra long-time method with keying is what I like best about this course.
Not only is this course about learning vocabulary and learning them by heart, but also about spelling rules.
Also I was very impressed by the distinct learning functions.“
(Spencer Harold)
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 particularly like the vocabulary-learning function with the long-term memory learning method.
Not only is this method incredibly efficient but also very motivating, because success becomes apparent immediately and you can feel certain having the vocabulary stored in your long-time memory.
A great advantage are the crystal clear voice recordings which don't left you thinking about the pronunciation and makes naturally learning possible.“
(Guillaume Guerrin)
- „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)
- „I particularly like the diversity of the learning method and the great choice of topics of the lessons or the continuous sequences.
The exercising sections containing the long-term memory learning method are really motivating to start learning.
Now, my son (15) really enjoys learning new vocabulary and is making great progress.
Personally, I was able to develop myself professionally and put into practice what I had learned.“
(Marguerite Guérin)
- „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
... regarding the daily exercises of our programme

In this way I'm able to learn in a structured way.
Thereby, I can learn both the vocabulary training and text exercises quickly and continuing.
Moreover I'm convinced by the different methods of vocabulary training and different learning methods.
Above all the text input and the automatic testing of your knowledge gives me a quick and really good result.“

I enjoy the daily exercise program because it's easy to work on and it's varying.

Not a day goes by without me working with the program and working on my vocabulary knowledge at least.

I would like to thank you so much for this course.
I'm enjoying it so much and it really helps me staying on track.“
(Victoria Statham)
- „To me the daily are exercises learning method seem very effective.
It gives you a well-structures schedule that guides you trough the program.
And if there is time left you you could additionally use further training methods. “
(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.

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)

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)
- „Right from the start there wasn't any confusing installation necessary - all crucial settings and functions were already available in the program and therefore they could be applied immediately.
I was able to start the program right away while I was at the office - I was very impressed by this course so I already started studying during lunch break that day. I was also impressed by the additional learning material - especially the provided flashcards which saved me further time and work.“
(Jessica Moore)
- „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)
