Question: I forget everything immediately.
Answer:
Our program is built on mnemonic principles — the science of memory.Yes, we know — this term is often overused and can sound like just another marketing buzzword. But in reality, these techniques have been tested and refined for thousands of years. Cicero wrote about them, intelligence agencies around the world rely on them, and they are scientifically proven to work.
So, how do we make sure you don’t forget what you’ve learned?
Spaced repetition: Every new word you encounter in our program is reinforced at least seven times — on the first day, two days later, three days later, seven days later… and again after a month. This method guarantees long-term retention.
The Memory Palace (Method of Loci): This technique links information to familiar places — like your room, house, or a park — using a specific algorithm. By associating new knowledge with well-known objects or locations, recall becomes effortless.
Translation-based learning: Translating from your native language to French is a game-changer! For understandable reasons, this method is rarely used in Swiss schools. However, it significantly enhances memorization and fluency by reinforcing full sentence structures rather than just isolated words.
Word formation technique: Our specialty! We draw semantic parallels between French and your native language, making vocabulary learning simple and intuitive:
- Voler (to fly) → волан
- Robe (dress) → роба
- Croquer (to crunch) → крєкер
- Couture (to sew) → кутюрье
- Descendre (to descend) → десант
There are thousands of such connections — making learning both easy and fun!
With these and other powerful memory techniques, the information will stick — and stay — in your brain.
Give it a try — you’ll be amazed at what your memory is truly capable of!
