SPANISH COURSE ACCORDING TO SUPERLEARNING KARNION METHOD
The Karnion method, which includes listening in the alpha state, in which the content is remembered 4 times faster and goes directly into your long-term memory, and one-on-one conversation with a teacher, has become widely known and appreciated since we have already been on the market for 25 years. Language knowledge cannot be acquired only through conversation, listening is of utmost importance. During listening you will obtain new vocabulary which you will activate during conversation lessons. As you know, we learn our mother tongue with listening to our parents or other care-givers and in this way, this method represents the most natural way of learning.
Spanish is the second largest language according to the number of speakers in the world (after English). As a first language, it is spoken by 440 million people, which puts it in the second place (after Chinese). According to statistics from 2009, it is spoken actively by 490 million people.
What does the course look like?
The superlearning method will produce optimal results if you decide to take at least 4 Spanish lessons a day. We recommend at least 40 lessons, especially for beginners. You can also study during the weekend (8 lessons a day). We are flexible and can adapt to your schedule.
Prior to the beginning of the course, you are tested to assess your knowledge (understanding, writing, reading and speaking) according to the European criteria of foreign language knowledge (levels between A1 and C2). According to the results, a custom-made programme is prepared for you. For example, if you are already able to communicate in Spanish but you have some gaps from a basic level, only these gaps are filled and then learning is continued on a higher level. This is quite impossible in language schools that carry out courses according to fixed programmes (books).
COMPARISON WITH THE CONVENTIONAL WAYS OF LEARNING SPANISH
According to conventional methods, a beginner needs about 800 lessons to achieve level B2. We can guide you to the same result in 200 lessons, whereas it would take you 1,074 lessons to achieve that in Slovenian school system.
