The problem

Language ability is not just vocabulary + grammar

Many students attempt to learn a language by simply memorizing vocabulary and learning grammar rules.

This approach seems logical but hides a critical flaw.

The result is often a process of consciously constructing sentences by recalling words, applying the rules, and assembling them piece by piece.

This conscious effort creates halting speech, impairs our ability to express our thoughts spontaneously, and is very different from the instinctive command of the language that characterizes true fluency.

To achieve fluency, you must develop automaticity in the language.

automaticity: /ˌɔːtəməˈtɪsəti/ noun; The ability to perform a skill quickly and accurately with little or no conscious effort.; “A high volume of repeated exposure and production is how learners develop automaticity in recognizing and producing the fundamental patterns of the language.”

Built from real language

Developed from a large, diverse language corpus.

We determine the 15,000 most common words in the target language by analyzing 4 to 5 million sentences from a large, diverse collection of texts such as newspapers, websites, and more.

This ensures that the Rapid Sentence Exposure reflects what is actually used in the target language, based on evidence, not intuition.

Pattern recognition through repetition

Internalize the fundamental patterns of your target language.

By encountering a high volume of words and structures in different contexts, your brain will subconsciously start to internalize the fundamental patterns of the target language to the point where you can recognize and produce correct patterns instinctively.

If he had listened, he would have understood.

We want to explore the old town.

I want to go home before dinner.

She wants to learn French.

Progressive practice

As your language skills grow, the Rapid Sentence Exposure module grows with you.

All of the words in the RSE module have a variety of sample sentences for each CEFR level.

This ensures that learners of all levels can use this module to acquire the highest impact vocabulary in their target language and continuously improve their automaticity for ever more complex structures.

J’en prends deux.

I’ll take two of them.

Muscle memory over rote memorization

Build automaticity with Rapid Sentence Exposure.

High-volume exposure

Native speakers say nearly 13,000 words per day on average and may hear nearly 33,000 words per day. This high volume of exposure and production is essential for language acquisition. Rapid Sentence Exposure seeks to replicate this high-volume exposure for language learners.

Audio for all sentences

Every sentence comes with audio so you can practice listening to and copying the sentence accurately. Over time and with enough exposure, you will begin to automatically connect sound with meaning in your target language.

Vocabulary and grammar acquired through context

As you proceed through the course, you will begin internalizing the fundamental structures of your target language. Your brain will will start recognizing the patterns of your languages grammar.

Build your instinct for your target language

By getting massive amounts of exposure to its fundamental patterns, you will begin to internalize your target language. Just like in your native language, rather than simply 'knowing' how to say something, you will develop an instinct for producing it correctly and fluently.

The goal is not to memorize the sentences themselves, but to develop the muscle memory necessary to spontaneously produce and understand your own sentences in conversation.
