This is a great way of learning large amounts of vocabulary quickly, along with grammar in the later units, taking you to GCSE level. It is an excellent tool to use alongside your evening classes.... See more

Really effective course and first class customer service

I have found the course excellent for providing a way to retain large numbers of Portuguese words really quickly and effectively. I started using it several years ago and wanted to pick it up again. When it wouldn't work on my current Mac I email Linkword and was very pleased to receive email responses within minutes. My issues were solved and I am again using the course to revise.
Thank you Linkword.

These courses are great

These courses are great!
Easy to use and quick to learn.
It doesn't take long to download them either.
The links are often inspired and really do help you to remember the vocabulary.
And then it introduces useful grammar and verb forms.
I find the format very helpful too so that I find learning easier.
I really do recommend these courses and I'm a trained language teacher!

Dear Peter
Very many thanks for your kind comments, especially as they come from a trained language teacher. Actually we have carried out 3 studies of language learning in schools. One at Rugby school found that a quarter of the children taught using linkword were promoted to the class above, something that had not happened before. A second study found those who were dyslexic learned vocabulary at the same rate as non dyslexic pupils-no one has ever found that before, and a third study which found that secondary school children learned spanish vocab at 3x the rate of learning without linkword

The system is great I used it 10+ years ago. I went to load it into my computer for my son and they no long work. It doesn't recognize the discs any longer. I emailed their customer service and have not heard anything back. Bad customer service.

Loving this for learning Italian!

I was recommended this and it’s brilliant. I’m astonished at the amount of new words I am learning so easily and absolutely love the fact that within a week I Was already constructing sentences in Italian and also excited by the fact I can read sentences in Italian. This is a super fun process too which makes me thrilled for practising. Thank you!

Dear Willow
Many thanks for your review. I am delighted that you appreciate that Linkword courses are not just about rapid vocab learning but that rapidly learning vocab makes it so much easier to understand the grammar that enables you to construct sentences and communicate with people far more quickly than with normal learning courses.

Best way to memorize vocabulary, ever!

I knew four other languages before I used Linkword for both French and German. I previously used traditional methods: flashcards, audio repetition programs, mnemonic devices, classes online and in person. For every vocabulary word I would struggle to come of up some memory trick or device to remember it. Occasionally I could come up with something. Usually, I could not. Linkword has done all the work for me! There are hundreds and hundreds of words, all carefully thought out, with mental pictures already dreamed up for me to imagine. I learned a hundred words in just a couple of hours! I highly recommend Linkword to remove a lot of the stress of vocabulary building.

Very many thanks for this review. I am delighted you find Linkword so helpful. To give you an idea of how fast you were learning, the average pupil in a secondary school learns about 800-900 words in 4 years of study!! Not to mention the grammar that is also picked up at a much faster rate. Michael

Fantastic Software Learning Product

If, like myself, you find it difficult to remember things, this is definitely a software package you need to try. It is easy and fun to use and I actually remember what I have learnt !!
The customer service is second to none - I emailed a question and had a very helpful reply well within 20 minutes. Well worth the small cost of the product and wholeheartedly recommend Linkword Languages to anyone.

The amazing speed at which you learn is only matched by how well it stays 'locked in' your memory. Cant recommend enough. I have never been able to learn language from books, but the linkword way of teaching works for me. Five stars

I bought languages years ago from…

I bought languages years ago from Unforgettable Languages (I guess this is Linkword Languages now), and couldn't find the downloads anywhere. Wrote to new management, and they gave me access again no hassles.

Unforgettable Languages is an ingenious system to memorize languages if you're not into etymologies or are starting out on a foreign language. I used it to learn French in High School and came out of it knowing and retaining more than classmates who took four levels of French in official high school classes. Good stuff.

Thanks, Michael!

The best method to learn a language

I have been using the online videos (not the downloadable program) and it works really well.

I was always able in high school to learn words very quickly (100 words/hour for tests the next day) but I would never be able to recite these words again the next week, which of course is kind of pointless. With this method I can learn around 50-60 words per hour but I actually remember 90% of them one week later (something I was never able to do in high school).

On a side note, the costumer service is excellent. I had a small problem with downloading and they responded within minutes (on a Friday evening).

I highly recommend this product!

I am really delighted that you find our new courses so useful. We published a study where someone who had done a linkword course 10 years previously, remembered 90% of the 400 words he learned after just one hour and 10 minutes of revision

The Best System for Learning a New Language I Have Ever Tried

I have used Linkword Languages for years. I think it is the best system for improving vocabulary. You cannot easily speak a foreign language with a limited vocabulary. Now I am using the video too and I love it. The video adds a new level of learning. Thank you Linkword Languages.

Hands down one of the most effective language learning courses on the market

I'm a UK based polyglot/language blogger, now with 8 languages under my belt. Over the years I've tried most of the major language learning products on the market, and I will wholeheartedly say that in terms of effectiveness, speed of learning and pure enjoyment, Linkword Language courses are amongst the best out there. The new Linkword animated courses are no exception, and will take your learning experience to a whole new level.

If you've previously tried to learn a language and found it a struggle and given up, I highly recommend you give Linkword Language courses a try. You will not be disappointed. Not only will you rapidly acquire the core vocabulary and grammar of the language you are learning, but you will also REMEMBER it too.

After completing a Linkword course, you will have enough vocabulary and grammar to formulate your own sentences, express your own unique thoughts, and communicate in a wide variety of situations, both for speaking as well as writing. I really recommend Linkword to everyone!
