Suivons Simon (includes workbook)

This is an interactive language learning video with a unique technique. The technique is based on action-linked communication. Physical actions corresponding to the spoken language are presented by a Chaplinesque character. As an aid to memory, the viewer is encouraged to act along with the character. This technique integrates the latest research on effective language acquisition. Both humour and music are used to relax the learner and, along with the physical actions, create a most enjoyable language learning experience. This 90-minute video, available with a workbook, comes in four different languages - English, Spanish, French, and German. Each video presents high frequency vocabulary, common verb tenses and basic sentence structures in functional situations. The grammar and vocabulary in the twenty lessons is designed for beginner to intermediate level speakers. The language presented includes expressions encountered with native speakers of the language. Each lesson is carefully constructed to enable the viewer to make the transition from listening comprehension to speaking. The workbook reinforces the language encountered in the video. It contains the complete script of the twenty lessons and two written exercises for each lesson. The answers are in the back of the book and the Spanish, French, and German workbooks include the English translation. Until now, the video and workbook have been available only to schools. Both teachers and students have been enthusiastic in their praise of the comprehensive and entertaining approach incorporated in the video. It has proven very popular with both children and adults in classrooms throughout North America.
