The Learnables

--teaches reading comprehension

FREE SHIPPING for orders over $130!!

Individuals can acquire a foreign language as easily as children develop their first language by following some relatively simple procedures. THE LEARNABLES® is a picture system of instruction that requires no translation from English. Students look at hundreds of pictures and listen to tape recordings of words and simple sentences by native speakers. Language comprehension takes place without difficulty. Students think directly in the foreign language.

Spanish Learnables Book Sample

Students begin with THE LEARNABLES® Book 1.

Ten picture lessons with 5 accompanying audio recordings teaches students to listen carefully and to understand basic sentences presented in short-story sequences.

Basic Structures

--teaches reading comprehension

After completing The Learnables® Book 1, the students next book is Basic Structures, Book 1.

Basic Structures, Book 1 teaches the students reading and introduces additional vocabulary. The students look at the picture and corresponding text and listen to the audio recordings.

Why use the Learnables?

What is different about these products? International Linguistics Corporation produces an extensive set of materials to acquire the foreign language, especially in Spanish, French, German, and English. It is not a beginning program that teaches a limited number of phrases. It is a full course of study. When purchasing language programs, we recommend that you examine the product to determine whether it is a beginning program or a full course of study.

International Linguistics uses a large number of illustrations to enable the learner to think directly from picture to foreign language. Some language programs mix English and foreign words in the same sentence, preventing thinking in the foreign language. Translation decreases the ability to think in the foreign language, whereas the use of pictures increases the ability to think in the foreign language.

International Linguistics employs native speakers of foreign languages so that you hear only authentic pronunciation. Some programs may not use native speakers. It is recommended that you inquire whether all the speakers are native speakers before you purchase a language program.

Curriculum: Books and Audio Recordings

  • Each level of the Beginning program outlined below is equivalent to one year of high school.

  • Completion of the three years is equivalent to three years of high school. Three to four years are also equivalent to one year of college study.

  • Although the three levels are equated with high school and college levels, students acquire far more vocabulary and understanding of the spoken language than in the traditional school setting.

  • Furthermore, the method of instruction is distinctively different from the standard high school and college grammar course.

You will be experiencing the language in meaningful situations. You will not be memorizing grammatical rules and you will not be translating from English to the foreign language. You will learn the foreign language by looking at the pictures and thinking directly in the foreign language. The method of instruction is similar to the way you acquired English as a child. All programs designed by International Linguistics Corporation starting with the beginning programs entitled The Learnables® provide a sequenced picture system with accompanying audio recordings and text.

You will easily understand and retain the language of each lesson. Your understanding of the language assures you that you will be able to talk as soon as you learn a sufficiently large vocabulary to engage in conversation.

Note:  The full four levels or years are not available in every language.
