Our Mission
Our goal is to empower and inspire people from around the world to enrich their lives with flexible, learner-focused language training solutions.
Our Values
We pride ourselves on service and innovation. Across our worldwide network, we are committed to providing a service that is not only warm and supportive, but reliable and trustworthy too. With enthusiasm and dedication, we inspire and motivate all our customers and staff to ensure they maximize their full potential.
Our Methodology
Established in 1901, Linguaphone has always been the pioneer of self-study language learning. Although we now produce language courses in CD, MP4 and MP3 downloadable formats, in the early days we were the first to recognise the potential of combining the traditional written course with the wax cylinder and later with records!
Throughout the years, all Linguaphone language courses have allowed customers to study at their own pace using books and original recordings supported by Linguaphone’s proven methodology ‘Listen, Understand, Speak’.
Listen
Listening to native speakers in your new language is the most relaxing and involved way to learn, helping you associate the sounds you hear with the words and sentences you read.
Understand
By listening and reading the language, you begin to discover what each word means. Everyday objects have exciting new names. Gradually words, then phrases, become clear and your reading, writing and speaking of the language will improve.
Speak
Many people find that speaking their new language is the hardest part. But Linguaphone’s method makes sure that you start speaking from the very first lesson with the correct pronunciation.
No wonder then that Linguaphone has continued to play a dominant role in language-learning across the globe ever since!
