is based on Nobel Prize winning research and offers the fastest, easiest, most effective and enjoyable way to learn a new language. It’s that simple. In 1999 Expanded Learning celebrates 20 years of successfully offering ¡Español Rápido! courses to organizations worldwide.

Because of breakthroughs in understanding the brain/mind system and best learning principles, participants in an Español Rápido course can now learn Spanish in days rather than years of traditional programs. Thirty years of research on Accelerative Learning consistently shows 3 to 5 times faster learning with higher retention and low stress.

A recent study shows an average of 8 words learned per hour with traditional methods and over 23 words learned with Accelerated Learning methods. ¡Español Rápido! courses shorten your training time and increase your long term benefits.

 

Our instructional method is based on solid research. By receiving the "big picture" first, the brain 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 for the
• 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. She is more concerned about the students’ success than proving her own competence.
• The belief in the unlimited potential of each learner is at the crux of this approach.
