The methods work and we know they work because they have a proven track record of working for real students like you. There is no theory to our system – just experience and results. If you want to learn Spanish faster than you ever thought possible, we know how … and frankly, we believe you deserve to know how too.
So, how does our system increase the comprehension of the Spanish language over 285% faster than traditional learning methods? ... One word – focus.
Our students learn faster because they learn less. Learning Spanish is more effective, easier and faster if you intentionally learn less. We live in a world with too much information. Think about everything you saw or read online today. How much of it was actually relevant or even useful?
Too much information is counterproductive. To learn Spanish as rapidly as our students have you must target your study and focus your efforts by selecting the strategically important study points. In short, you must learn less to achieve more.
It sounds counter-intuitive; however, our proven technique to maximize study efficiency is to focus on only the most important aspects of Spanish verbs. Our brains have limited retention ability. This means that given a fixed amount of time, there is only so much information you can learn.
In fact, efficiency gurus are now preaching the wisdom of selective information intake for both professional and personal success. We must become very selective about what we learn and how we learn it.
Our system forces you to focus exclusively on the most important aspects of Spanish, thereby maximizing the efficiency of your study time. Every detail from what you study, to how you study, to the order in which you study, has been painstakingly laid out for you in the 80/20 Spanish Verb System. The result is the most useful, intelligent and effective Spanish Learning System available.
The 80/20 Spanish Verb System takes the 20% of information you truly need to know and packages it into an amazing learning system. It is a powerful tool comprised of a study guide, intelligent software and an exceptional video series. This System will teach you more with less by utilizing 3 proven strategies for accelerated language learning which are called Chunking, Bridging, and Templating:
Chunking – Organizing Material into Manageable Units:
By breaking down the complex world of Spanish verbs into manageable units or chunks, study time can be drastically reduced. Psychological research states that grouping information together based upon patterns, structure and content can dramatically increase information retention. Moreover, this is particularly true in respect to subjects such as language and mathematics. Certain verb tenses have very similar grammatical structure; therefore they are placed in the same chunk. This is done so that you can increase your study efficiency by capitalizing on the shared grammatical similarities of certain tenses. Think of it as a way to hit two, and sometimes three, birds with just one stone!
Bridging – Connecting the Link to Your Native Language:
The way to make a foreign language less foreign is to relate it to your own language. Genuine understanding comes from linking what you are learning to what you already know. That is why we furnish English examples in both the study guide and the virtual tutor to help students get the “feel” for a verb tense as quickly as possible. By bridging what you are learning to what you already know, we promise you will see rapid results!
Templating – Creating a frame of Knowledge
Often, students score better if they have a real-life example or template that they can work from. The 80/20 Spanish Verb Study System will have you working exclusively with our list of the 20 most useful verbs. Because you will study each verb tense using the 20 most useful verbs as your examples, you will create a mental template that you can use to adapt to new verbs as your vocabulary expands. Moreover, because these verbs are the most useful, they will help you achieve a much greater communication competency from just a limited amount of study time. After that, it will be just a matter of simple vocabulary expansion!
The 80/20 Spanish Verb System was inspired by the very influential yet often forgotten 19th century Italian economist Vilfred Pareto. Pareto observed that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population. This observation grew into a principle of economics known as Pareto’s Law or the 80/20 principle.
This principle has been applied to business, economics, politics and now, to the study of Spanish. Simply put: in life, 80% of the results often stem from 20% of the work involved. Learning Spanish verbs is no different. You can master 80% of what you need to know by focusing on the most useful 20% of information.
