Linkword Languages The Easiest Way To Learn A Language

Learn A Language with Linkword Languages Software, MP3 and Apps

LINKWORD IS FAST TO LEARN AND EASY TO REMEMBER

Why Linkword?

Why Linkword?

  • A large number of independent studies show that Linkword is up to 3 times faster than normal learning methods.
  • Our courses are built upon the science and principles of memory enhancement. These include methods of association, spaced retrieval, optimal colour-ways and testing patterns specifically designed to increase your speed of learning. It works!
  • In only 10-12 hours you will have an extensive vocabulary AND enough grammar for basic dialogue and communication.
  • By the time you finish one of our level 4 courses you will have a really extensive vocabulary (approximately 1200 words) and associated grammar.
  • Level 4 will enable you to read and understand the average newspaper article, watch a foreign language film and converse with people in a very wide range of situations abroad.
  • More than 750,000 people have already enjoyed learning and greatly boosted their language confidence with Linkword.
  • Linkword courses work equally and powerfully well whether you have previously been good or not so good at language learning. Studies also show Linkword as being highly beneficial for dyslexic learners.
  • Our courses are ideal for pleasure, travel, business and schoolwork. Linkword is the perfect exam revision aid or as a refresher to previous studies and a great backup for those attending evening classes.
  • Versions are available for all your devices so you can choose how and when it best suits you to learn: at home with your Mac or PC, on the train using your IoS or Android tablet/phone or listening to the MP3 Audio version when you are out and about (yes, lots of people enjoy Linkword whilst in the gym or out running!)

Evidence Linkword works

Linkword Languages courses are developed by Dr Michael Gruneberg, an internationally recognised expert in memory and learning methods.

The courses use a large number of memory enhancing principles, including the method of association, spaced retrieval, and optimal testing patterns to increase the speed of learning and to increase the amount of memory of what has been learned.

Unlike the great majority of language courses available for sale, over 100 independent research studies have shown that compared to normal learning methods, the underlying method of association used in the Linkword courses is up to 3 times faster.

Dr Gruneberg has also published a large number of studies in refereed journals showing the effectiveness of his Linkword courses. We know of no other language course where performance levels have been published. Not only have the studies shown how fast is learning with Linkword, but how much more enjoyable learning is as well and how much it boosts confidence.

More about Dr Gruneberg

He is a former President of the Society for Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, an international learned society. He has been involved in a number of broadcasts for the BBC, including writing the original script for the BBC QED programme, THE MAGIC of MEMORY and was the scientific consultant for the BBC series on Unforgettable Memory. He has published a large number of research papers and books on Memory and Memory improvement.

I’ve always struggled with languages…

I’ve always struggled with languages but with this programme it has made it so much easier to remember key words. As a family we have had lots of fun remembering the vidid images and laughing when we get them wrong! It’s such a unique and enjoyable way of learning especially when it becomes a family fun challenge! Another point to make is that if you need to contact the company they are extremely quick to respond to your needs.

Loving this for learning Italian!

I was recommended this and it’s brilliant. 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 in Italian and also excited by the fact I can read sentences in Italian. This is a super fun process too which makes me thrilled for practising. Thank you!

These courses are great

These courses are great!
Easy to use and quick to learn.
It doesn’t take long to download them either.
The links are often inspired and really do help you to remember the vocabulary.
And then it introduces useful grammar and verb forms.
I find the format very helpful too so that I find learning easier.
I really do recommend these courses and I’m a trained language teacher!

Excellent customer service

I have been using linkword languages for a few years and believe it is the most effective out there. It’s very easy to follow and the customer service is excellent. Thank you for your support over the years.10/10

Really effective course and first class customer service

I have found the course excellent for providing a way to retain large numbers of Portuguese words really quickly and effectively. I started using it several years ago and wanted to pick it up again. When it wouldn’t work on my current Mac I email Linkword and was very pleased to receive email responses within minutes. My issues were solved and I am again using the course to revise.
Thank you Linkword.

A Brilliant way to learn a language…

This is a great way to learn a language especially if you find it hard to learn new words. I found I could retain a lot of words in one sitting and remember them the next day. The Linkword company have been great to deal with. They used discs and when that technology was out of date they sent me a link which works well.

Great method of learning a language

Great method of learning a language.

Have just downloaded the European Spanish course after having the French one for sometime.

I must say that the customer service is first class.

I had a slight problem with the download and this was sorted within 5 minutes.

Fantastic, highly recommended.

Thank you. John and Dawn

INCREDIBLE PRODUCT!

I have been extremely impressed with Linkword Languages. The product is very well thought out, very well executed and very memorable. I have found it has greatly facilitated my ability to learn and most especially retain language.

I have had a few questions regarding my purchase, and Linkword Languages was professional, prompt and extermely helpful.

I will not hesitate to purchase additional products from them as I continue my journey in the languages of the world.

Highly recommended – and it’s fun too!

This is a deceptively simple yet brilliant programme. Years later, I can still recall so many words I learnt with this effective and enjoyable programme. Highly recommended – and it’s fun too!

Truly the easiest way to learn a language

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. I used it for massively improving my French a few years ago and I am now back as a customer again in expanding me Greek.
