Thanks for the opportunity to introduce our self-study hands free language course All our courses have been designed for a person who wishes to learn to speak a language fluently, with the correct pronunciation, accent, and rate of speech Effectiveness After one day you can greet After one week you can converse the basics After six months you are fluent Taalkor's success is based on taking language learning back to the basics. The mother tongue method which Taalkor uses is the way you learnt your mother tongue at home by hearing and repeating words and so putting the learning of a new language within reach of everyone, making it as easy as child s play.
The Taalkor program consists of: 5 Cd s A reference manual A test manual Everything you hear on your CD is also in your manual. It is only necessary to use the manual if you want to learn how to read and write the language - that s why our course is called hands free. Use it at your convenience, for example when you drive to work, when jogging etc. You only need to listen to your CD s to learn to speak a language. Each lesson includes: Vocabulary Dialogue Three languages in one (Afrikaans, English and language to be learned) With each lesson you first learn your vocabulary with the correct pronunciation and accent. Then you learn to use those words in sentences with the correct rate of speech. The audio layout of the course: Afrikaans (optional) English Language to be learned, male voice Space for repetition by learner Language to be learned, female voice Space for repetition by learner
On your Cd s you will hear the words/sentences first in Afrikaans (optional), then in English and then in the language your learning first in a man s voice and then in a woman s voice. In between there is a space for you to repeat the word/sentence you are learning. One of the secrets of learning a new language is that you must practice what you have learned. If you are prepared to put time into listening to your cd s and use every opportunity to practice what you have learned you will be fluent within 6 months. After completion of a lesson you have an option to test yourself with the test manual. After completion of your course you will be able to converse like we re doing right now. Remember Taalkor s success is based upon: Mother tongue method used Spoken language Conversation rather than grammar Reinforcing words through repetition in sentences / Repitition Correct pronunciation and accentuation Correct rate of speech Speak from day one Hands free course. Use at your convenience / Use whenever convenience Listening 15 minutes daily Read what a few of our many clients have to say about their learning experience with Taalkor - Fantastic Course.
