To see just how much LinkWord is appreciated by users, just read some of our many positive customer reviews who find LinkWord courses not only highly effective but highly enjoyable.
“Having tried a number of language learning courses I always found it almost impossible to retain the information. Then I stumbled upon LinkWord Languages and found its word association methods an absolute deal breaker for my limited retention abilities.”
Dave Linly, uk.trustpilot.com/review/linkwordcourses.video
“It took 12 hours to teach a regime that normally takes 40 hours.“
Financial Times interview with of training manager of Thomson holidays
“I’m astonished at the amount of new words I am learning so easily and absolutely love the fact that within a week I was already constructing sentences.”
Willow May, uk.trustpilot.com/review/linkwordcourses.video
“With LinkWord you can learn 200-300 words a day without too much.”
Tim Ferriss, Author of the New York Times No 1 best seller ‘The 4-Hour Workweek’
“I have mild dyslexia and learning a language in class was difficult. The LinkWord method as an alternative works very well for me.”
Dreeko Dreeks, uk.trustpilot.com/review/linkwordcourses.video
“Learners find the keyword technique (LinkWord) an enjoyable activity and can achieve large amounts of learning with it, with some learners learning 400 words in 12 contact hours and 600 in four days.”
“The overwhelming evidence is strongly in favour of the keyword technique for both immediate recall and for use with a variety of languages.”
Professor Paul Nation, 2022, Learning Vocabulary in Another Language, Cambridge University Press
“In the end of term result, the average mark with a conventional approach was 23.75%. This rose to 69% using the Linkword course.”
Vernon Thomas, Head of Languages, Bishop Vaughan School Swansea, Western Mail, Wales
LinkWord will work for almost anyone. This course is ideal as a supplement to school work, for anyone who needs to gain a working knowledge of a language for business or travel, no matter how good or bad you were at languages at school. Unlike other language courses, LinkWord has also been shown to greatly help learners who are dyslexic.
In 10-12 hours you will be able to communicate in sentences with a vocabulary of hundreds of useful words. This is up to 3x normal learning speed!
A large number of scientific studies have shown how effective the LinkWord method is, and over 750,000 people worldwide have used LinkWord courses.
This is how the course works.
1. You will be presented with words like this:
The Spanish for rice is arroz [arros]:imagine arrows landing in your plate of rice.
What you do is to imagine every picture below in your mind's eye as vividly as you can for about ten seconds before moving on to the next word.
If you do not spend enough time picturing the image in your mind's eye, it will not stick in your memory as well as it should.
2. When you are given a new word to learn, it will be spelt correctly in Spanish. However, to help you with pronunciation the approximate way to pronounce the word will be given next to the word in brackets. The approximate pronunciation will help you to be understood.
3. At the end of every section, you will be able to listen to a native speaker pronounce the Spanish words you have just learned. You will have a chance to listen and repeat the words you have learnt.
4. Sometimes, the words in English and Spanish are the same or very similar. In such cases, you will be asked to associate the word in some way with bullfighters.
For example, The Spanish for taxi is taxi. Try to imagine a taxifilled with bullfighters. Whenever bullfighters come to mind, therefore, you will know the word is the same in both languages.
5. There is a list of words learned in each section at the end of every section and at the end of the course. You will see that you have learned a large number of useful words and enough grammar to communicate effectively in many situations.
When using the LinkWord system, it is useful to bear in mind the following tips:
Firstly, it is usually best to go through the course as quickly as possible. Many people can get through most of the course in a weekend, especially if they start on Friday evening. If you are learning in a school setting, it is best to spend at least two sessions a week on the course.
Take a break of about ten minutes between each section, and always stop if you are tired.
Do not worry about forgetting a few words, and do not go back to relearn words you think you have forgotten. Just think of how much you are learning, and you will pick up the forgotten words when it comes to revising.
Again you should not worry about spelling to begin with. Count yourself correct if you have remembered the sound of the word. Once you have completed the course then you should pay more attention to spelling.
The course should be revised after Sections 1, 6 and 10. Then revise the whole course one week later, then one month after that.
Do not worry about losing a few words or bits of grammar after a time. Relearning is extremely fast, all it normally takes is just a few hours to be back to where you were. The course will not give you conversational fluency. You can't expect this until you start using the language actively by reading, listening or speaking or better still, going to Spain to talk to native speakers.
What this course will give you is a very rapid ability to survive in a large number of situations you meet abroad or online as well as help you greatly with school work. Once you have this framework you will find it much easier to pick up more words and grammar. The course is, therefore, the ideal complement to school work and travel.
The first section of this course can be regarded as a training section designed to get you into the LinkWord method quickly and easily.
This section will take about 30-45 minutes, after which you will have the confidence to translate sentences and have a thirty-word vocabulary.
Animal words are used in this section as they are a large group of "easy to imagine" words. Many animal words are also useful as they are often met abroad, dog and cat, for example.
Above all, relax and have fun.
Michael Gruneberg, PhD, the author of the LinkWord courses, is widely acknowledged as an international expert on memory improvement. He is a former senior lecturer in Psychology at Swansea University as well as a former President of the International Learned Society for Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, and gave the opening invited address to the conference on New Approaches to Memory Improvement, held in New York state in 1992 and Published by Springer USA. Dr Gruneberg has published numerous books and articles in scientific journals on applied memory research. These include studies showing exactly how effective LinkWord is in increasing speed and enjoyment of language learning, unlike any other available language courses. He has also published LinkWord language courses with sales of over 750,000 copies so far.
