Unforgettable Languages Reviews

Resource Description

Unforgettable Languages are foreign language learning courses offered in 30 different languages. Vocabulary is taught using the Linkword Method, meaning that you will use visual tricks to link the word to a familiar English word to facilitate learning vocabulary. "The Linkword Method is based on the principle that the human mind much more easily remembers data attached to spatial, personal, or otherwise meaningful information than that occurring in meaningless sequences or basic repetition." The program offers beginner to advanced grammar, interactive testing and language spoken by native speakers.

  1. Unforgettable Languages Review by
    Pros: None for us, but could be a nice supplement for a language with a Latin script
    Cons: The mnemonics are often a stretch and corny, not comprehensive enough to be a full program, relies on terrible transliterations
    Grades Used: 3 - 9, for Russian

    This might be a nice supplement for languages with a Latin script, but stay away from it when learning languages that use other scripts. For Russian, it uses transliteration instead of teaching Cyrillic immediately, which I am not a fan of to begin with. But to add insult to injury, the transliteration is also terrible. Yes, ы, which does not really exist in English, is usually associated with the letter y. But they use y for ы when it makes no sense and leads to someone relying on the transliteration learning to pronounce the word incorrectly. ста́рый is not pronounced "staray" and ​бы́стрый is not pronounced as "baystray". Put the Cyrillic into Forvo and then tell me if it makes sense to you to transliterate it that way.
