Know Linguaphone?

Linguaphone means learning languages through sound. Linguaphone is a global language training provider, and has over 108 years in providing self-study language courses. Part of the Linguaphone Group, Linguaphone’s portfolio of self-study language products are sold in over 60 countries worldwide. They produce a wide range of self-study language courses in 15 languages; available on CD, MP3 download and MP4 media players for students of all levels wanting to learn a new language.

 

Methodology

Linguaphone’s self-study courses follow Linguaphone's in-house methodology of 'Listen, Understand, Speak'. Students are encouraged to listen to the language from the beginning, to begin to read as they listen and only to speak once they have learnt to understand the language presented.

 

History

Linguaphone was established in 1901 by Jacques Roston, a translator and language teacher, born in Poland, (Koło), and they were the first language training company to recognise the potential of combining the traditional written course with the wax cylinder and later with records.
