Birkenbihl Sprachen: Brain-friendly Russian, 1 Basic

The Birkenbihl-Approach is simple!

The principle of the Birkenbihl-Approach consists of listening to a native speaker of the foreign language while actively reading the word-for-word translation. Mother tongue + text = “active listening”. Through the combination of reading and listening, the brain absorbs the meaning of the words. You repeat the process until you feel you can understand the text in the foreign language. Just a few minutes a day is more than enough!

With “passive listening” our brain builds up new nerve tracks for the sounds – the same principle used by toddlers when they first learn words. This saves a great deal of time because it takes place during your usual daily routine. This way you learn the process through your subconscious!
