Hi,
I'm thinking of spending next year abroad, learning a language to fluency. Which is the most intensive (by teaching hours and rate of progress) course out there for a non-professional student? Target language doesn't matter, as long as it isn't French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swe/Nor/Dan, Dutch, German or Romanian. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yeah, I'm not too fussed what language it might be, as long as the course aims to get me to fluency.

A linguistic boot camp. A Foreign Language Legion. Top Gun: 'I feel the need, the need to read (in different languages, lots of them)'
I want there to be flogging. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There's the "ALG World" program for learning Thai. http://www.algworld.com/programs.php, http://www.auathai.com/. They use a rather interesting method, wherein there is no translation. Everything is taught in Thai from the beginning, with two instructors drawing pictures and acting and doing whatever is necessary to be understood. Apparently people come out of this program speaking at a near-native level.

That looks fascinating, do you know of this technique used for other languages? 1 person has voted this message useful |
