PRESS RELEASE FROM LANGUAGE BRIDGE TECHNOLOGY
New Answer to the Old Question: Why So Few Americans Learn Foreign Languages?
Posted Apr 06, 2020
Columbus, Ohio – April 6, 2020 – Language Bridge Technology is happy to announce that it is offering for free its Intellectual Property to any company seeking new ways for adults to learn foreign languages by helping them overcome the known barriers to fluency in a new language.
“Few Americans learn foreign languages because the traditional methods of conscious learning are obsolete and cannot overcome the appalling forgetting curve and innate habit of thinking in the native language and cross-translating,” said Arkady Zilberman, CEO, and Founder of Language Bridge Technology. “That’s why we felt developing a method of subconscious training in a foreign language that will automatically eliminate the known barriers to fluency was absolutely necessary.” More information could be found at www.lbtechnology.net.
The new real answer to the question: “Why so few Americans learn foreign languages” – is that traditional teaching methods have very low success rates and people naturally avoid being engaged in an activity that requires so much conscious effort in memorizing and cross-translating.
To change this trend students need access to a new method of subconscious training in foreign languages that will ensure a 95% success rate. Only the new approach will change the current situation when less than one percent of American adults are proficient in a foreign language that they studied in a US classroom.
In subconscious training of language skills a learner develops a new habit of performing three actions at the same time: reading, listening and speaking simultaneously with the speaker. This three-action activity presents the brain with a challenging workload and automatically stops cross-translation into the native language. When cross-translation is stopped, a foreign language center is formed in the brain of an adult because old symbols which were previously wired together with the words of the native language are now re-wired to the English words in the course of multiple simultaneous repetitions. During subconscious training in language skills, the brain finds and records the language patterns that it can perform without conscious effort and with minimal attention, i.e. automatically.
The patented method of subconscious training in English skills was tested by many teachers and educators as a pilot project and demonstrated unprecedented success as shown in these testimonials: https://lbtechnology.net/testimonials.
All our skills and habits are performed subconsciously: driving a car, playing the piano, typing or speaking. As humans, we perform about 95% of our daily activity in a subconscious mode. It is surprising that in learning new language skills we still use conscious learning by trying to memorize and recall words, phrases and grammar rules. To resolve the current issue with language deficit in the US we need to move to subconscious training in language skills.
For traditional language learners, it would be a hard transition from conscious memorization to subconscious training but benefits are obvious and numerous. The subconscious mind is superfast and acts as a memory bank with unlimited capacity. However, for the new students, the transition might actually be refreshing and encouraging as the mind relaxes into subconscious learning instead of being stressed to drill language cross-translating.
Language Bridge Technology offers free retraining to those language companies who are seeking new ways of teaching which will resolve the inherent problems of traditional language teaching.
About Language Bridge Technology
The Language Bridge Technology LLC was founded by Arkady Zilberman, Ph.D. in 1999, the same year when his book: "Language Bridge - Acquiring Language the Natural Way" was published (http://amzn.to/2itdeXN). The company sold about 30,000 copies of books with cassettes and CDs, which later were turned into PC software. Arkady Zilberman received the first patent in 2002 (US 6341958 B1 - http://bit.ly/2itiJFP) on the method described in the book.
The latest patent “Reverse language resonance systems and methods for foreign language acquisition” was published on June 13, 2017: https://bit.ly/2xKikb8.
Arkady also has a unique experience of simultaneous interpretation both in the former USSR and in the USA. During many years of work as a scientist and simultaneous interpreter, he tried to find an answer to the question: why do some people like him learn a foreign language easily, while most adults have a hard time coming to grips with a foreign language? Why do so many simply give up?
After many years of experimenting during simultaneous interpretation and researching how adults learn foreign languages, Arkady made a few discoveries that he described in the website http://www.lbtechnology.net/ and in his eBook Language Bridge Technology: Speak Fluent English Kindle Edition (http://amzn.to/1Nl8yXF).
Two decades ago Arkady made a great impact on how the world is typing on keyboards: about three hundred million Microsoft Natural Keyboards, licensed to his patent, were produced. Now Arkady has a vision of changing the way the world is learning English.
