Most experts agree that the best way to learn foreign language is the way you learned your native language- by hearing it. As babies, the language we knew involved gurgles, chuckles, whines, and screams. Each day, the more we were around our parents, family and friends and were exposed to the sounds they made in communicating with each other and with us, we came to understand that certain sounds had defined meanings. Through the sounds, and our association of meanings with particular sounds, we began to understand what people were saying to us. Next step we began to communicate outwardly by mimicking the sounds. With practice, we were soon understanding and speaking what was to be our native language, whether it be English, Spanish, French,German, or any one- or more- languages which we had been hearing since birth.
But it all began with hearing. There are, of course, many ways in which it would be possible to expose yourself to the everyday useage and sounds of the foreign language you would like to learn:
Unfortunately, it is not very practical for most people wishing to move to another country. Neither can many people afford a personal tutor. And, it is amazing the number of language learning schools where the instructors seem determined to rush into grammar, syntax, and so on- before the students have properly developed an ear for the language. If you have access to broadcast media in your chosen language, watching or listening to such programs is a good supplement to your basic learning course.

Later, we would learn to use language to communicate in methods other than speech. We would learn to write or draw symbols which we were told represented certain sounds in our language. We learned the use of proper grammar and syntax, gained the ability to communicate our thoughts more clearly, both orally and in writing.
At The FLSC, we are committed to the philosophy that the best way to learn a language is by ear. We are firmly convinced that the most practical, effective, and economical way for anyone to pursue the study of a foreign language is by a well-structured and professional course produced in an audio format.
