This multimedia software employs a natural language learning process that gets children telling a story and answering questions in a foreign language within minutes. The product is designed for ages 6 to 12 and teaches English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.
Children learn to speak by receiving feedback on their effort in using a language.
Language Adventure succeeds in activating this learning process in children at an age when they are most receptive. The Breakthrough Traditionally foreign languages have been taught through grammar and rote vocabulary learning. The idea behind this has been that if you can master the rules to which languages conform and learn lots of words you will be able to speak in a foreign tongue. Unfortunately, as any tongue tied student will corroborate, it is not an effective way of achieving communicative competency, not to mention the sheer tedium of it all. As a response to this, a movement developed to try to replicate how one learns one's first language in teaching a second one.
