What People Are Saying
"I have so many
wonderful things to say about powerspeaK¹² language courses
that I can't pick just a few…. This is not a
'quick fix' to learn a language. It does take time and
effort. But the best thing about this program is, it's
fun. It's not intimidating or frustrating. Being a home-school
mom, I've learned that the best curriculums are the
ones that are enjoyed. They need to be challenging,
not frustrating. That's what I've found with powerspeaK¹²….
When we're on 'summer break' and the kids ask to use
their powerspeaK¹² course, I've definitely found something
they enjoy."

The Diglot Weave, from the Greek di, meaning
two, and glot, meaning language, is a breakthrough in
language learning. This methodology smoothly weaves the new language
into the learners' own, taking them from the familiar to the unfamiliar.
Gradually moving from their own language to the target language
quickly builds comprehension skills and increases confidence.
You may recall stories written in
a style that replaces words with pictures. A story written in this
style is called a rebus. Diglot Weaves build on the rebus methodology
by introducing the actual foreign words into the story.
While it may seem at first to be simple random
word replacement, the process is carefully and deliberately designed
to lead the learner to an understanding of the foreign language.
Like a puzzle, learners fit together unfamiliar words and phrases
with those that are familiar. In this way, they begin to think
in the foreign language by understanding the underlying rules for
composing sentences.
