About Power-Glide - The Junior Adventure Course - Reviews Packages - A Letter from Power-Glide - Courses for Adults and Teens
Over 30 years ago, Dr. Robert Blair, the designer of Power-Glide Foreign Language Courses, was captivated by a phenomenon we are all familiar with: Young people who had studied a language for 3, 4, or even 5 years could conjugate verbs and recite vocabulary, but typically lacked the ability to actually communicate. Maybe you were one of these.
As human beings, we are genetically equipped to learn a second language. But to learn any language effectively and without great frustration we must proceed in nature's way. Many have wrongly approached language as though grammar and vocabulary were the most important features to focus upon. With Power-Glide you'll gradually soak up the language, discovering the rules by which language works almost without noticing it! This method is called "natural language acquisition" because it more closely reflects the way children in every culture learn their own language. The exercises developed by Dr. Blair are designed to help you discover the language yourself.
Many language programs promise a shortcut to learning language. They assemble a selection of useful words and phrases and ask you to repeat what they say over and over until it sticks. The idea of achieving "complete fluency in any language in 90 days or your money back" is nothing more than misleading marketing hype, but sadly, many people fall for it and end up disappointed.
Power-Glide Adventure Courses are different because they are designed by linguists, not marketing strategists. Power-Glide Adventure Courses were created by Dr. Robert Blair, one of the world's leading linguists, who spent over 30 years developing this revolutionary language learning system. His study took him all over the world, and he spent years evaluating and experimenting with many teaching methods including, diglot weave stories, puzzles, games, songs, and other fun activities. Dr. Blair has also produced materials for translators, Peace Corps Volunteers, the U.S military, and students of all ages. He learned from and collaborated with dozens of world-renowned teachers and combined the best methods into one very exciting course. The result is an innovative and proven method to learning a foreign language. Best of all it's fun!
for French, Latin, and Spanish
The earlier that children begin learning a foreign language, the easier it is for them to acquire and have a life-long love for that language. The Junior Adventure Courses are fully accredited and are designed for your children's experience. At the heart is an adventure story in which your child is the main character. As the adventure progresses, so will the level of your child's fluency - you will be amazed at the level at which they will be speaking by the time they finish the course. And the great part is they are having fun learning!
The course includes an Adventure Guide, 8 audio CDs, and a Parent's Guide. The Adventure Guide includes three activity books (levels I, II, and III.) Your child works in the Adventure Guide, doing all the lessons sequentially, while following along the audio CDs. The CDs have native speakers from different geographical areas so that your child is able to hear different pitches and tones that they would hear in real world settings. By using the Adventure Guide and CDs together, your child will hear the laanguage being spoken and associate it with a picture, song, or story in the Adventure Guide. Once your child finishes the level I activity book in the adventure guide, they should proceed to level II, and then level III.
If you don't know a foreign language, don't worry. The Junior Adventure course comes with a Parent's Guide, which includes a page-by-page commentary and a copy of the page where your child is on in their Adventure Guide. It also includes instructions, audio transcripts, objectives, lesson plans, tips, cultural information, and suggestions for additional activities you can do as a family.

Power-Glide will prove to be the best investment in your child's future because learning a language will open up their future to endless opportunities.
