Learning a language is not easy. It requires effort, diligence, memorization (despite what those behind some language programs claim) and a considerable amount of time. At Language Safari, we give you (1) real words that are being used in context that you will be able to use right away and (2) the appropriate definition, so that you can concentrate on the task of learning the language.
Why spend valuable time laboriously looking up word after word in a dictionary--and often having to search in more than one dictionary? With Language Safari, you have the needed words literally at your fingertips, enabling you to spend your valuable time building your vocabulary more rapidly while enjoying the story you are reading, listening to, or watching.
If you enjoy reading, listening to music, catching up on current events, watching television shows or movies, you'll find that Language Safari offers you a fun way to build your vocabulary and fine-tune your ear for the language because we give you the means to enjoy these activities in the target language.
Hiring tutors, paying for private lessons, and traveling abroad are all expensive solutions for building a vocabulary. Language Safari costs less than breakfast and lunch and a lot less than hiring a tutor or spending a year abroad. With Language Safari's tiered membership plans, ranging from our free newsletter subscription to our monthly ($19.95/mo.) and annual ($199/year -- two months free!) subscriptions, a more affordable solution is offered to anyone who wants to learn a foreign language.
How do you know which words you should learn in a language? Beyond a basic set of about 650 words that are common to many contexts, you need to learn the words you are going to use. At Language Safari we give you words that you need to read, listen to or watch what you enjoy--the specific words that you need at the moment, and that you can take with you as part of your permanent real-life vocabulary.
Wherever you have an Internet connection, you have access to Language Safari. Plus, all the Vocabulary Guides may be downloaded and printed so you can take your vocabulary lists offline and with you wherever you may go.
Our forum is a great place to share language-learning experiences, offer suggestions for others, or ask specific questions about vocabulary, grammar, or social customs. Also, seeing others out there with the same challenges as you will help keep you motivated and moving forward toward your goal of learning a foreign language.
When you watch a film or listen to a radio broadcast or even read a book, you are learning from native speakers and writers and can copy the way they speak and write. And, by knowing ahead of time what the speakers are going to say you can fine-tune your ear to the way they speak and mimic their accent and manner of speaking as you build your own vocabulary.
You will not have a problem finding suitable material to read, listen to or watch using Language Safari vocabulary guides. We purposefully select entertaining films, television shows and books that will also help forge strong character in children and older students of all ages.
