NEW LANGUAGE, NEW WORLD

language treasure

Learning a language is often a little daunting. We think about the time it took us to learn our mother tongue, about the grammar and its inevitable traps, and about the great many number of words we need to memorise. We are afraid of and even feel guilty about making ‘mistakes’. We remember with some bitterness our teacher’s corrections in red ink pen. We are afraid of not understanding what someone is saying to us, of not being understood at all, of sounding ridiculous. We know that pronunciation can sometimes pose insurmountable difficulties. And yet, a language is something different from all this. Historic


NUEVA LENGUA, NUEVO MUNDO
language present

Aprender un idioma da miedo a veces. Uno piensa en el tiempo empleado para hablar su propia lengua, también se piensa en la gramática y en sus inevitables trampas y cómo no, también se piensa en el vocabulario y en la cantidad importante de palabras que es necesario memorizar. Se tiene miedo a cometer errores, incluso faltas para mejor culpabilizarse. Uno recuerda con un poco de tristeza las correcciones en bolígrafo rojo que el profesor hacía. Uno teme de no comprender lo que se le dice, duda de no ser comprendido y provocar hilaridad. Sabemos que la pronunciación provoca problemas que a veces parecen no superarse. Sin embargo el idioma es algo muy diferente.Historic


NOUVELLE LANGUE NOUVEAU MONDE
language immersion

Apprendre une langue fait souvent un peu peur! On songe au temps que l’on a mis pour parler sa langue maternelle, on pense à la grammaire et à ses inévitables pièges, on pense au vocabulaire et au nombre important de mots qu’il faut mémoriser. On a peur de faire des erreurs, des «fautes», dit-on même, pour mieux se culpabiliser. On se souvient avec amertume des corrections à l’encre rouge faites par le professeur. On craint de ne pas comprendre ce que l’on vous dit, on redoute de n’être point compris, de susciter l’hilarité. On sait que la prononciation pose des problèmes qui semblent parfois insurmontables. Et cependant, la langue est bien autre chose que cela.Historic


EINE NEUE SPRACHE – EINE NEUE WELT

Eine neue Sprache zu erlernen macht oft ein bisschen Angst! Man denkt an die Zeit, die man dazu brauchte seine Muttersprache zu sprechen, man denkt an die Grammatik und an ihre unvermeidlichen Fallen, man denkt an den Wortschatz und an die unzähligen Vokabeln, die man behalten muss. Man hat Angst sich zu irren, „Fehler zu begehen“ ist sogar voll Schuldbewusstsein. Mit Bitterkeit erinnert man sich an die in rot unterstrichenen Verbesserungen der Lehrer. Man befürchtet nicht zu verstehen was einem gesagt wird, man fürchtet sich davor nicht verstanden zu werden und Gelächter auszulösen. Man weiß dass die Aussprache manchmal nahezu unüberwindliche Probleme schafft. Trotzdem ist eine neue Sprache etwas ganz besonderes. Historic


EEN NIEUWE TAAL, EEN NIEUWE WERELD

Een nieuwe taal leren? Daar schrikt u vaak van terug! U herinnert zich hoelang het duurde voordat u uw moedertaal sprak. U denkt met ongemak aan grammatica en zijn onvermijdelijke valkuilen. U denkt aan de woordenschat en aan het aantal woorden dat u zult moeten onthouden. U bent bang u te vergissen om ‘fouten’ te maken. ‘Fouten’, nog zo’n woord dat uw schuldig doet voelen. Bitter denkt u terug aan de verbeteringen in rode inkt. U bent al bang niet te verstaan wat men zegt en vreest niet begrepen te worden.“Misschien wordt er wel om mij gelachen”. U wéét dat uitspraak vaak onoverkomelijk moeilijk lijkt. En toch is taal ook helemaal anders. Historic

Dialogue - The keys you are looking for
THE KEYS
YOU SEEK

Everyone is unique...

...and so is their way of learning.

The ideal training
has a personal touch

corresponding to
your personality,
your individual needs,
and your unique expectations.

As Socrates put it,
progress is quickest
and most spectacular
when there is a direct dialogue
between teacher and learner.


Through our method :

  • your gifts, aptitudes, and unconscious knowledge are best brought out
  • self-confidence is established in the first lessons
  • you save time: you only learn what interests you
  • pleasure and motivation are always part of your learning environment.

  • The DialoguE Natural Approach

    Between us we've had exposure over the years to many different training methods in dozens of settings, thus we feel competent to compare and measure DialoguE against other approaches
    (Margot Dexter and Palmer Sawnson)

    Personally, I can't imagine that a better program than Dialogue's exists elsewhere

    THE DIALOGUE NATURAL APPROACH
    DIALOGUE IS YOUR BEST CHOICE.
    HERE’S WHY:
    FROM
    OUR TESTIMONIAL
    GALLERY

    1. You learn at your own pace, not someone else’s

    2. The DialoguE Method is extraordinary

    3. You’re inundated by the language

    4. The Method reinforces itself after the course ends

    THE RESULT:

    I made more progress
    in my week at DialoguE
    than I did over the course of a year studying at school.

    I made much more progress here in just over 3 weeks than I made in 5 years in school

    "I can’t imagine a more effective method"

    "DialoguE is, without a doubt, the best language school that I have found."

    "As a complete beginner
    I was amazed at the progress I made in 2 weeks."

    "DialoguE provided me with an excellent preparation for my INSEAD French exam."

    "Pure excellence in language education!"

    "Thank you for the innovative approach to language learning"

    Dialogue is THE place to go. The greatest risk for any student is that Dialogue can be rather addictive (Ann Bensinger)

    I chose Dialogue because it was the only one that provided private lessons at a reasonable price (Susan Rooke)
