For Self-motivated Students

                   An holistic approach to acquiring a foreign language.

The great poet and philosopher, Wolfgang Johanne von Goethe, describes how he learned foreign languages by following his natural inclination to language learning.*

 

"Thus I had learned Latin, just like German, French, English, only through practice, without rule and without system.  Anyone who knows what the state of school instruction was at that time will not find it strange that I neglected the grammar as well as the rhetoric;  everything seemed to come naturally to me.  I retained the words, their formations and transformations in my ear and in my mind, and I employed the language with ease for writing and talking"
                                                                                              
Goethe

Quintessential Language recognizes this natural principle and inspired by the fact that early Americans who used The McGuffey Readers became highly educated, decided to use this wholistic approach to learning a foreign language.  However, it adds to it a unique patent-pending process of color coding. 

 Do you remember how you learned your native language. You probably learned it through hearing stories and retelling them to your friends.

 By means of mastering each story, you will build your vocabulary and start to intuit the grammar and structure of the language just like Wolfgang Johanne von Goethe.
