TRUSTPILOT RATING FOR LINKWORD EXCELLENT 98% 5* RATINGS

Published Evidence For Linkword

PUBLISHED EVIDENCE OF PERFORMANCE BY THE AUTHOR OF LINKWORD

Beaton, A. A ., Gruneberg, M. M., Hyde, C. Shufflebottom, A. & Sykes, R.N. (2005). Facilitation of receptive and productive foreign vocabulary acquisition using the keyword method: The role of image quality. Memory, 13, 458-471

This study shows that poor quality images result in less good memory for vocabulary than rote learning, but that good images-taken from Linkword courses result in very much better learning of vocabulary than rote learning

Sommer S. and Gruneberg M (2002) The use of Linkword Language computer courses in a Classroom situation; A case study at Rugby school. Language Learning Journal, 26, 48-53

This study shows that using Linkword alongside normal classroom learning resulted in much better end of term examination performance for a group of poor learners including pupils who were dyslexic. It also showed they much preferred the Linkword course to normal language learning

Gruneberg M. and Pascoe K. (1996) The effectivness of the keyword method for receptive and productive learning in the elderly. Contemporary Educational Psychology, 21, 102-109

This study showed that old age was not a barrier to the effectiveness of Linkword, as a group of over 65 year old learners did significantly better with Linkword that those not using Linkword.

Beaton, A. A ., Gruneberg, M. M., and Ellis N (1995) Retention of foreign vocabulary learned using the keyword method: a ten year follow up. Second Language Research,11,2, pp 112-120

This Case Study showed that even 10 years a learner had learned Italian level 1- including a vocabulary of 400 words, he remembered 30% of words without any revision. When he was then given 10 minutes to go though the glossary for revision, he remembered 70% of the vocabulary. Finally he was given 1.5 hours to go through the whole course and he remembered almost 100% of the words when tested

Gruneberg M , Sykes R and Gillett E. (1994). The facilitating effect of Mnemonic strategies on two learning tasks in learning disabled adults. Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 4, 241-254

This study showed that even learners with learning difficulties learned significantly more with Linkword than rote learning

Gruneberg M and Jacobs G (2002) In defence of Linkword. Language Learning Journal 26,48-53

This paper contains reports of a series of case studies all of which show that those using Linkword courses find Linkword much faster, easier and more enjoyable that normal language learning. One study of executives at Thomson Holidays, was assessed by a consultant for Berlitz. He found the group had learned in 12 hours what normally took 40 hours. Other studies showed that learners found Linkword to help not only vocabulary but also grammar learning

We know of NO other courses in language learning that have published, in scientific journals, details of how they perform in terms of speed of learning or in terms of how fast easy and enjoyable learners find the courses. The level of satisfaction of actual users is also backed up by our feedback on ebay.co.uk, where there have been over 3100 positive feedbacks from customers.

A KEY STUDY

Raugh M and Atkinson R (1975) A mnemonic method for learning foreign languages. Journal of Educational Psychology.67, 1-16

This study found that using the Keyword (Linkword) method of learning vocabulary increased learning from 28% to 88%, an increase of over 3 times.

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.

Susan Stanford Tuck

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.

J. Earl

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.
