EMC Publishing : World Languages : Symtalk : Testimonials
"I am so impressed with Symtalk. It is a step that the entire foreign language programs are turning to nationwide. The convention I [recently] attended was all about the need to teach more speaking skills, vocabulary, and then later worry about grammar. This program could go far in a HUGE way. From Pre-K to college!"

Dear Educator,
As a former researcher in memory, learning and psycholinguistics at the Gestaltist
Institute for Cognitive Studies at Rutgers University and as a past clinical
neuropsychologist, and presently too, as the Headmaster of a college-prep private high
school, I have had many opportunities to critically survey, test and study the effectiveness
of many foreign language teaching methodologies. Furthermore, in my mind, (as a
speaker of five languages), foreign language learning assimilation is the primary vehicle
for preparing developing youngsters to effectively perform in a world replete with
complex simultaneous processing tasks. Thus, I have a keen interest in the speci alized
cognitive skills tapped by the design and graduated learning styles displayed in the
Symtalk approach to teaching language. The attractive apprehension of stimuli and
concomitant verbal associations lend the particulars of vocabulary, grammar and speech a
natural contextual cue for subconscious rehearsal, storage and retrieval. In fact, the
resulting graduated increase in language acquisition by students of all ages and in any
language far surpasses any linguistic teaching technique known to me. Symtalk will
doubtlessly become the universal language tool for all schools. I love it!

“I thoroughly enjoy teaching French using the Symtalk Method. My students amaze me with how quickly they are speaking in complete sentences. They also seem to love French class...more than ever.”
