Dave S. Clark – the Director of the U.S. Institute of Languages® and creator of Visual Link Spanish™.
Dave writes, “Let me tell you about the problem Visual Link Spanish™ fixes. After living among native Spanish speakers for two years in Latin America, I earned a degree and taught Spanish at the university level. The problem was, because of the curriculum I was mandated to use, after two years of Spanish my students couldn’t approach people to carry on conversations in Spanish. I said to myself – “There’s got to be a better way.” That started me on the path of years of research and intense study with a team of linguists to create Visual Link Spanish™. My goal was to help you learn to speak in complete sentences after the first lesson and feel successful from the start. Then after going through more sections of the course, you learn to use sentence patterns and simple building blocks to create thousands of combinations of sentences. My ultimate goal is for you to be able to converse in Spanish with anyone, in just about any setting, by the end of the Complete Level I course – and . . . according to our customers, we’ve achieved that.
Now, after tens of thousands of customers have gone through our course, we receive testimonials regularly about how people have learned Spanish well enough to get to know neighbors, coworkers and establish new friendships. One man even wrote us giving Visual Link Spanish™ credit for his marriage! He learned Spanish well enough to date and marry a Spanish-speaking wife! If that’s not proof of how good the course is, I’m not sure what is!
To ensure authenticity, the course has been taught and revised by native Spanish-speaking linguists and company executives. It has been reviewed by multiple Ph.D. professorsof Spanish and a native Spanish speaking lawyer. Visual Link Spanish™ has been taught successfully at the university level for over 7 years and in major corporations and government organizations since 1995. It has also been sold in all 50 states and in over 130 countries worldwide. It’s accepted by North Atlantic Regional Schools for 2 years of High School credit.
As you can see by the track record of Visual Link Spanish™, it is a PROVEN system that teaches entire corporations, one individual at a time, Spanish at an extremely rapid and easy pace. Hispanics are the largest minority in the United States, with an estimated population of 41.3 million and are estimated to grow by more than 1.7 million a year. A bilingual workplace is a necessity in today’s world. Don’t let your company get left behind as the increasing demand for bilingual businesses and corporations skyrockets. Hasta luego.”
Visual Link™ solves the major issue with Spanish courses currently on the market. And what is that major issue? Most Spanish courses teach individuals a lot of grammar, vocabulary words, and verb conjugations, but when individuals complete these courses they can't actually "speak" Spanish. Individuals do, however, learn a bunch of random words, but miss the major key element - individuals don’t know how to use those words to create sentences and actually "speak." With Visual Link Spanish™, individuals learn to build sentences, ask and answer questions, and truly communicate in Spanish from the very start. This is the true magic of Visual Link™. Visual Link™ can teach you how to truly “speak” and “communicate” in Spanish without bogging you down with the hard and boring grammar rules. With Visual Link™, we make learning fun, easy, and rewarding from the very beginning. In fact, you’ll be able to speak in full and complete, grammatically correct, sentences in less than three minutes without learning all the "rules" of Spanish first. Visual Link™ uses scientifically proven techniques to boost retention and engrave the Spanish language into your long-term memory.
To prove the Visual Link Spanish™ course success, "Fluency Tests" were conducted to test our techniques/system of learning. These tests confirm our theories to be correct; time and time again. We are proud to report - the highest test score recorded was 100%. The average test score for all the tests combined was an 89% and the most commonly recorded score amongst the test takers was 100%. As you can see by these test scores Visual Link Spanish™ teaches a method of learning like none other in the market; a method that truly works.
Our course has worked for small local businesses with just a few employees as well as huge corporations like Nationwide®, AutoLiv®, and the US Department of Homeland Security®. You can have complete confidence Visual Link Spanish™ will work for you and your company.
We will become the most effective and complete language learning system in 8 languages. We will become the most highly visible and #1 most purchased course on the Internet.
U.S. Institute of Languages™ exists to help the world bridge communication gaps by helping others accomplish their goals of learning a new language while striving to give back to the world in which we live.
We recommend ½ hour per day – 4 times a week with the software and audio CD's. The audio CD's are great for review in the car ride to and from work each day. With this easy to follow pace it would take an individual 16-19 weeks to complete Level I. By the end of the Complete Visual Link Spanish™ Course – Level I, your employees should be at a highly conversational level and be able to hold a conversation with any Spanish speaker in just about any situation.
As for Level II, we recommend the same pace of ½ hour per day – 3 times a week. At this pace, it would take an employee 9-12 weeks to complete Level II. By the end of the Advanced Verb Module – Level II, your employees will be highly fluent and have a very extensive knowledge Spanish vocabulary.
