Learning to speak a new language with the Pars Omni^TM instructional approach combines the best of formal learning and the best of spontaneous informal learning. Thus it allows students to progress faster than if they lived in a foreign country, immersed in the new language all day.

The most difficult part of learning a new language (for those of us past the age of puberty, at least) is at the beginning. This is the phase where a Pars Omni^TM program is most helpful: both in getting the student through the phase as quickly as possible and in establishing learning habits that will be helpful in the long term.

Living in a foreign country can be very helpful in mastering a new language - especially after you reach what we call the 'Proficiency' level. Prior to this, the benefits are fewer and, in some cases, can result in frustration that is counter-productive.
