How 17 Minute Languages helps you remember


Learning a language takes effort:
It is easy to forget what you have already learnt.
 
With the long-term memory method, each word comes back just before you would forget it.
If you still know it, it moves on.
 
The Business Course takes the hard parts of learning seriously and makes them easier to follow.
 
The software is built around a few simple principles.
You learn words in topic groups, together with related words.
All content is sorted by topic and specialist field.
The topics follow a logical order.
 
New words come in small groups of seven.
A small group is easier to take in than a long list.
So each lesson unit contains seven words from the vocabulary lists.
