Synopsis

The Instant Recall series presents a technique for learning vocabulary that has been scientifically proven up to three times more effective than conventional methods. Ideal for travelers or students as young as 10, these programs will teach 200 key words, as well as a method that can be adapted for learning many more. Remembering vocabulary, the building block of communication, can be one of the hardest tasks for many learners. This audio program on two 75-minute CDs teaches over 200 key words by encouraging you to imagine verbal images that connect the sound of the Spanish word with the English meaning. The vivid, often bizarre nature of the verbal image, combined with regular testing, is critical in enabling memorization and effective recall, as academic studies on this method have proven.
