Children
At what age should be learning of a foreign language begin? This is a topical subject among teachers and educators who generally want nursery school children to be exposed to foreign languages. This is the ideal age to "open the ear": the small child has an ear which is capable of integrating all the sound worlds, both of his mother tongue and that of a foreign language.
Teenagers
"A student who has difficulty learning a foreign language is in the same position as a child who is not able to write, read and speak in his mother tongue. He is "dyslexic"- in other words he has difficulty listening".
Thanks to the Electronic Ear we can help adolescents open their ear to the sounds of the chosen language to be integrated. In the same way the behaviour of the adolescent will also change.


Adults

Two ideas need stressing: firstly, the mother language is a barrier which it is necessary to get past, secondly , that one listens before speaking and only after does one study language structure.
Learning to speak a language means adopting a particular mental psychology, and adopting a specific thought process and adjusting the body in such a way that it adopts the posture of the language spoken. Having a gift for languages is in reality a gift for listening.
