POWERFUL and PROVEN SYSTEM for LEARNING JAPANESE
Here's How It Works -- Use Stereo Headphones
The Japanese word is presented to the right ear and the English word to the left ear about the same time. Next, the Japanese word goes to both ears. Your brain pays conscious attention to the Japanese word but links both words together in your memory.
Faster, Better, & Easier
Studies using the WordMate method showed that learning is about 40% faster with 21% more accuracy and 23% more fluency in speech. College students needed about 25% less mental effort to study with the WordMate method in comparison to their usual methods of studying the text for an exam.
Words in the Mind
You must know the meaning and pronunciation of words to communicate in Japanese. Learn with WordMate and you'll never be at a loss for key words in your working vocabulary of Japanese
