Linguaphone has built an unparalleled reputation as a name in language learning. Linguaphone was founded by Jacques Roston, a translator and language teacher who emigrated from Poland, then part of Russia at the turn of the century and founded his company in London, England.
They operate in 70 countries, teaching over 30 languages with principal markets in Europe and Asia.

I work as Director of Sales Scandinavia, so I wanted to have a good knowledge of Swedish, mainly for reading and understanding documents, websites, etc., but soon I win confidence actually speak Swedish.

Language

Learning to communicate in another language may be difficult, but it is also a very rewarding and enriching.

The success of Linguaphone is based on the simple method of Linguaphone Listen, Understand, Speak, which is designed around the principles and the way we learned the language as a child. "You learned a language as a child using just this method, and You can learn a new language as an adult too.

Listening to a foreign language allows you to start thinking in the language and a little imagination, you can begin to understand how you will hear in this new language. In the same way that understanding becomes seconds Nature, pronunciation and speech is also beginning to be more natural than to familiarize yourself with the new language. Emphasis is placed on the use language for practical reasons, a delegate for the day and the course develops steadily skills learner especially in listening, understanding, and speaking, and also in reading and early writing. This is the natural way to learn a new language.

At first you do not understand all the new language you hear on recordings. You are immediately put in place the new language as it is actually spoken. Although this may initially seem strange, it is recognized as the best and fastest way to learn language. Printed versions of these recordings can be found in your manual and follow these you will develop your reading ability your new language. For this reason, the course includes a bilingual guide that gives you word by word, phrase by phrase translations and explanations of the language. For each lesson there are dialogues or narratives and recorded exercises and are presented in full in the target language.

Course

Linguaphone claim their courses are designed for busy people who can not find time to study. I work a very high level and have little time free and I must say Linguaphone are entitled to this claim, of course Fun and effective ways you can learn anywhere you have access to a CD player or iPod.

Course Structure:

There are forty lessons in the course, divided into four levels of ten lessons each. Their language learning methodology varies from course to course, but it usually involves listening to native speakers of foreign language, while following a transcript of what they say, understand the meaning of the language spoken, and then speak the new language with pronunciation correct.

Linguaphone claim they were the first to recognize the potential of combining the traditional written course with recordings Audio (back when audio recordings had just been invented.) Linguaphone courses first, then rolls, combined voice Aboriginal with authentic texts, illustrated vocabulary also incorporated and grammatical notes.

The Swedish Linguaphone courses for example, is composed a series of CDs / tapes on topics of everyday situations and needs. The course is very useful for pronunciation, hearing how speech sounds.

Apparently, my pronunciation was very good, and where it excels over. My business colleagues were surprised by my accent. Although the best thing that happened when I ordered a meal in Helsingborg, the waitress asked where I was and how do I such a perfect Swedish accent right! It was, after a tip or was authentic!

In this regard, the course was very worked well and the price I would highly recommended. In addition, the course book reinforces the language learned in the audio and to teach reading and writing, which may be useful when abroad. The course book is very colorful and informative, with many illustrations. All Along your journey, you will have the opportunity to test yourself and practice what you learned.

Linguaphone has been the pioneer of self-learning language study. They say they have always been involved in the use of new technology as an essential aid to learning languages. After 100 years of success, facing fierce competition Linguaphone is well positioned to enhance its reputation for high quality language offering learning solutions via the Internet at home, in schools and workplaces. The result is that, after completing a Linguaphone course, you will have a understanding of the language and be able to converse with real people speak and understand language.

The Genius of Language $12.48 Fifteen outstanding writers answered editor Wendy Lesser’s call for original essays on the subject of language–the one they grew up with, and the English in which they write.Despite American assumptions about polite Chinese discourse, Amy Tan believes that there was nothing discreet about the Chinese language with which she grew up. Leonard Michaels spoke only Yiddish until he was five, and still found its traces in his English language writing. Belgian-born Luc Sante loved his French Tintin and his Sartre, but only in English could he find “words of one syllable” that evoke American bars and bus stops. And although Louis Begley writes novels in English and addresses family members in Polish, he still speaks French with his wife–the language of their courtship. As intimate as one’s dreams, as private as a secret identity, these essays examine and reveal the writers’ pride, pain, and pleasure in learning a new tongue, revisiting an old one, and reconciling the joys and frustrations of each.

Shakespeare’s Language $4.48 A magnum opus from our finest interpreter of The BardThe true biography of Shakespeare–and the only one we need to care about–is in his plays. Frank Kermode, Britain’s most distinguished scholar of sixteenth-century and seventeenth-century literature, has been thinking about Shakespeare’s plays all his life. This book is a distillation of that lifetime of thinking.The finest tragedies written in English were all composed in the first decade of the seventeenth century, and it is generally accepted that the best ones were Shakespeare’s. Their language is often difficult, and it must have been hard even for contemporaries to understand. How did this language develop? How did it happen that Shakespeare’s audience could appreciate Hamlet at the beginning of the decade and Coriolanus near the end of it?In this long-awaited work, Kermode argues that something extraordinary started to happen to Shakespeare’s language at a date close to 1600, and he sets out to explore the nature and consequences of the dynamic transformation that followed. For it is in the magnificent, suggestive power of the poetic language itself that audiences have always found meaning and value. The originality of Kermode’s argument, the elegance and humor of his prose, and the intelligence of his discussion make this a landmark in Shakespearean studies.

Second Language Learning and Language Teaching $38.48 The fourth edition of this classic textbook has been revised to reflect recent developments in language teaching and learning yet retains the basic structure and approach so popular with its readers. Teaching and learning content has been updated, particularly taking into account the rise of task-based learning, Conversational Analysis and social models of second language acquisition, changes in national syllabuses and examinations and the increasing controversy over the role of the native speaker target. Each chapter has been revised to stand alone, enabling the text to be taught and studied out of sequence if preferred. A set of focussing questions has also been added to each and further reading sections have been updated. In addition, icons appear throughout the text signalling where extra information – summaries, data, lecture notes, test batteries and more – can be found on the author’s accompanying website. Second Language Learning and Language Teaching remains the essential textbook for all student teachers of modern languages and TESOL as well as applied linguistics.

The Language of Oppression $8.48 Examines decadence in our language, especially that language which leads to dehumanization and degradation of human beings. Powerful illustrations may be found in the fact that, for instance, Hitler’s "Final Solution" appeared "reasonable" once the Jews were successfully labelled by the Nazis as sub-humans, "parasites," "vermin," or "bacilli." So, too, the subjugation of the American Indian was "defensible" since they were defined as "barbarians" and "savages." The author of this engrossing text that was originally published in 1974 by Public Affairs Press successfully identifies and critically comments on the racist, sexist, and ethnic slurs still predominant in society today, with the hope that this decadence will be cured. Winner of the "1983 George Orwell Award" from the Committee on Doublespeak of the NCTE.

Old Provence (Lost and Found Series) $14.98 "Deep as we may bury the Roman Empire, we cannot hide it in the valley of the Rhone; for its bones pierce through Provencal soil in many places as though that giant grave were still too narrow for the skeleton of a past that can never wholly die." So begins this powerful and evocative account of Provence and its unique historical legacy. Journeying through southern France in the first years of the twentieth century, Theodore Andrea Cook discovers a landscape where the presence of Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans is still spectacularly evident in some of the Mediterranean’s finest surviving architecture. In Arles, Nimes, Orange and Frejus, he witnesses the wonders of Roman arenas, temples and monuments. At the imposing aqueduct of the Pont du Gard he observes the world’s greatest testament to the genius of Roman engineering. Cook’s compelling survey of Provencal history also encompasses the turbulent Middle Ages, when religious conflict and bloody warfare scarred the region. At Les Baux he explores the haunting ruins of a once-great stronghold; in Avignon, he traces the footsteps of the fourteenth-century popes in their magnificent palace; in Beaucaire and Tarascon he visits the sites of thriving medieval market towns and royal castles. First published in 1905, Old Provence provides a remarkable insight not only into the area’s history and architecture, but also its literary and cultural significance. Looking at the work and influence of writers such as Petrarch and Mistral, Cook reveals the importance of language, romance and regional identity in this most distinctive part of France. Even though the Provence that this classic book brings to life has been irreversibly altered by modernity and tourism, its timeless beauty will be instantly recognizable to contemporary visitors and readers.

Discourse Analysis in the Language Classroom $33.48 Current methodological research has found that in order for learners to acquire language that is both linguistically accurate and socially appropriate, their awareness of patterns and of what is systematic about language must be developed. In Discourse Analysis in the Language Classroom, Heidi Riggenbach has compiled activities that will foster this awareness by putting students in the role of discourse analysts and language researchers so that they may learn the patterns and systems for themselves.This book is intended for ESL/EFL teachers who wish to have a better understanding of discourse analysis as it applies to the language classroom and who need to design courses and materials with the goal of developing students’ skills as researchers in acquiring their new language.The book includes: an overview of discourse analysis and its relevance to language teachers and learners; background material on the interesting features pertaining to oral language skills; presentation of techniques for preparing students to be researchers and for implementing discourse analysis tools in the classroom and the activities that employ these techniques; and a discussion of options for incorporating discourse analysis into different course situations.

The Language of Journalism $11.98 The newspaper is to the twentieth century what the novel was for the nineteenth century: the expression of popular sentiment. In the first of a three-volume study of journalism and what it has meant as a source of knowledge and as a mechanism for orchestrating mass ideology, Melvin J. Lasky provides a major overview. His research runs the gamut of material found in newspapers, from the trivial to the profound, from pseudo-science to habits of solid investigation. The volume is divided into four parts. The first attacks deficiencies in grammar and syntax with examples from newspapers and magazines drawn from the German as well as English-language press. The second examines the key issues of journalism: accuracy and authenticity. Lasky provides an especially acute account of differences between active literacy and passive viewing, or the relationship of word and picture in defining authenticity. The third part emphasizes the problem of bias in everything from racial reporting to cultural correctness. This is the first systematic attempt to study racial nomenclature, identity-labeling, and literary discrimination. Lasky follows closely the model set by George Orwell a half century earlier. The final section of the work covers the competition between popular media and the redefinition of pornography and its language. The volume closes with an examination of how the popular culture both influenced and was influential upon literary titans like Hemingway, Lawrence, and Tynan.

The Atoms of Language $10.98 Whether all human languages are fundamentally the same or different has been a subject of debate for ages. This problem has deep philosophical implications: If languages are all the same, it implies a fundamental commonality–and thus mutual intelligibility–of human thought.We are now on the verge of solving this problem. Using a twenty-year-old theory proposed by the world’s greatest living linguist, Noam Chomsky, researchers have found that the similarities among languages are more profound than the differences. Languages whose grammars seem completely incompatible may in fact be structurally almost identical, except for a difference in one simple rule. The discovery of these rules and how they may vary promises to yield a linguistic equivalent of the Periodic Table of the Elements: a single framework by which we can understand the fundamental structure of all human language. This is a landmark breakthrough both within linguistics, which will herewith finally become a full-fledged science, and in our understanding of the human mind.

On Language $17.48 Two of Chomsky’s most famous and accessible works available in an affordable and attractive edition.Described by the New York Times as "arguably the most important intellectual alive," Noam Chomsky is known throughout the world for his highly influential writings on language and politics. Featuring two of Chomsky’s most popular and enduring books in one omnibus volume, On Language contains some of the noted linguist and political critic’s most informal and accessible work to date, making it an ideal introduction to his thought.In Part I, Language and Responsibility (1979), Chomsky presents a fascinating self-portrait of his political, moral, and linguistic thinking through a series of interviews with Mitsou Ronat, the noted French linguist. In Part II, Reflections on Language (1975), Chomsky explores the more general implications of the study of language and offers incisive analyses of the controversies among psychologists, philosophers, and linguists over fundamental questions of language.

Nerve Language $17.98 The new work centres on the Memoirs of Daniel Paul Schreber, perhaps the most written about of mental patients, as well as one of the most articulate. The Memoirs formed the basis of Freud’s theory of paranoia, the interpretation of which was a primary cause of the split between Jung and Freud, was the basis of Bleuler’s definition of schizophrenia (which is till operative today) and has been subjected to many other readings such as Canetti’s attempt to connect paranoia and proto-fascist power and Wilden’s to see a proto-feminism in a revolt against the forensic psychiatry and ideas of the masculine of the day. It has been a prompt to examine his relationship to his family, where other researchers have claimed to have found abuse. Und so veiter. In 1894, Daniel Paul Schreber had become a high ranking judge in Leipzig before being plunged into breakdown. He entered an asylum voluntarily but after six months was committed by his wife, his doctor and his former employer, at which point his worst experiences began. Nonetheless, he also began to work towards his release, which he achieved on appeal to the very court in which he was once the President. During his madness (and even after his release), he believed God spoke to him directly by way of what he called nerve language. His God had become the two central gods of ancient Persia. He believed that a terrible disaster had befallen the universe and that he was the last person alive. His task was to restore the cosmos by nerve contact with divine rays. In order for this to occur he had to enter the world of female voluptuousness, which would unman him. Henderson’s poems enter this world of mad logic and real thought, of immense suffering, of vision and transformation, where love and freedom are just over the horizon of dark and clashing light.

Meaning, Language, And Time $31.48 MEANING, LANGUAGE, AND TIME: TOWARD A CONSEQUENTIALIST PHILOSOPHY OF DISCOURSE is concerned with the interanimations of meaning, time, language, and discourse. The chief target of critique is meaning apriorism, the notion that the meaning of an utterance (or sign) is always found in or traceable to something temporally and logically prior, such as intention. In opposition, Porter proposes meaning consequentialism, a theory that integrates meaning and time in terms of its consequences. Given the history of concepts like meaning, time, language, and discourse, any serious attempt to understand them must be interdisciplinary; so MEANING, LANGUAGE, AND TIME draws on a wide range of important work in the history of philosophy, rhetoric, and composition.
