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 8 more days.
    On the ninth day you will be prompted by the same word yet again.
  5. The program then waits a final 9 days.
    You have to correctly translate the word just one more time.
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 South American Spanish course.
New words will be added to your lessons every day.

Diverse Learning:


We have built many gizmos into the program so that learning remains fun and exciting.
 
repeat words Repeat the words until you know all the vocabulary:
In all of the tests, you have to type in the right words so often that you will be able to do the correct translation instantly.
Simple words stop appearing in the daily program after 2 or 3 repetitions.
More difficult words may be repeated 5 or 6 times.
Especially difficult words, which you often don't know, are asked even more often.
Most importantly we don't want you to have forgotten these words by the very next day!
 
effective repetition Seven words at a time:
After learning seven new words, the software will show you a table with a summary.
Learning seven words at a time is especially effective.
Now you can repeat these words again at a glance.
 
overview points Points, learning time and number of repetitions:
You can already see how long you spend with one lesson unit.
By the way, you won't be able to cheat:
The program will actually only show the amount of time you worked.
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.

 
break 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.)

 
pictures A wide variety of pictures:
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...)
When you see that the course is fun and rewarding, you will be motivated to see it through to the end!

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)

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!“

What our clients say

       (Scott Wilkinson)

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)

       (Jean-Baptiste Novak)
     
  • „Every day before I go sleep I'm practising my vocabulary with the long-term memory learning method.

       (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)

Thank you very much for this language course.“
       (Richard & Francis Pennyworthy)
     
  • „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)

In comparison to other language courses the vocabulary are spoken and recorded by native speakers thus it's possible to speak virtually accent-free. The vocabulary being taught makes you capable to communicate with native speakers easily. People who struggle to organize themselves when it comes to learning a language are given the opportunity to work on daily exercises. What has made me choose your course is being able to determine by yourself how much and when you want to learn. The course provides a great variety of different learning aids. They really have something in store for everyone.“
       (Joseph Holmes)

       (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.

       (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.

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)
     
  • „I'm very pleased with this course and it helps a lot with my studies. This course is especially helpful when it comes to learning vocabulary and a proper pronunciation. I'm pretty sure I would have given up learning this language if it wasn't for this course. I like the lessons being short and therefore clear. Also the flashcards which can be printed out are great for taking with you and learn whenever I feel like studying.“
       (Holly Wilkinson)
     
  • „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)
