How One Man's ExperimentStarted a Revolution

in Language Learning.

In 1878 Maximilian Berlitz started his own

language school in providence, rhode island. there

he experimented with language learning by helping

students speak and understand the language right

from the beginning - rather than concentrating on

rules of grammar and translation.

After

several weeks, he found his

students had progressed much

further than those who studied

languages using the more

traditional method. Since that

time, millions of people have learned to

speak a new language using the Berlitz

Method*. The cornerstones of the Berlitz

Method-an emphasis on speaking, use of

native fluent instructors, introducing

language in real-life situations-has meant

success for people of all ages and

interests-from business leaders to

homemakers, from students to diplomats.
