Whether you want to learn Spanish, English or simply gain access to the powerful tools of Accelerative Learning in your own teaching or training, Expanded Learning offers you the key to the 21st century.

This is a new way to learn that is dynamic, playful, innovative, stress-free and highly effective.

Drawing on 25 years of research on the brain, mind and learning of Dr. Georgi Lozanov, MD, Ph.D. and many others, our belief is that everyone has a wonderful ability to learn and great potential creativity.

Our educational philosophy is based on the following principles: A true Expanded Learning experience involves the whole brain, music and rhythm, relaxed concentration, learning through all the senses, games, humor, fantasy and imagination, and a supportive physical and psychological environment. Learning blocks can be overcome and our potentials expanded dramatically under ideal conditions.

The Expanded Learning teacher, crucially important for Accelerative Learning, is an artist who integrates all of the above to create a stimulating, joyful and relaxed environment.

An Accelerated Learning experience contributes to greater overall confidence, creativity, relaxation and general well-being.

Read More about the Method
The instructional method used in Rapid English and ¡Español Rápido! is based on solid research. The brain, by receiving the "big picture" first, is able to take in a myriad of details with its comprehension of the large sweeping vision of a subject. Details follow in an organic and developmental process that "spirals" around and upward. The big picture is then revisited from different perspectives, and progressively more complex information is acquired.

  • Additionally:
    The experience is stress-free.
  • The sense of the "child" is invited from participants, since childlike qualities enhance exploration while having fun. No pleasure, no treasure.
  • Music is used for a variety of purposes: to enhance the acquisition of large volumes of new material, to open the limbic center of the brain where emotions and much learning resides, and for establishing a state of relaxed alertness.
  • All the senses are engaged, each tripling the capacity to learn
  • The approach is global: it includes everything that improves learning.
  • This holistic approach helps to open new neurological pathways in the brain for greater understanding and retention.
  • Both the LEFT and Right brain are stimulated for both analytical and analogical thinking, that is taking things apart and putting them back together again.
  • The role of a well-trained teacher is crucial. She facilitates rather than lectures; she is gentle in corrections; her genius is to "intuit" the students' needs and make the learning seem effortless.
  • The belief in the unlimited potential of each learner is at the crux of this unique approach.
In 1999 Expanded Learning celebrated 20+ years of successfully offering Rapid English ESL courses to organizations worldwide.
