A new approach to learning language
The Shalva method
The Shalva approach
The Shalva logic
The Shalva * method is a learning approach that encourages speaking the language as the primary way of learning the language. Just like children learn a language.
Looking at the subject from a broad perspective, you can see that each person needs X hours of speaking in a new language to be able to use that language.
This is similar to flight hours in pilot training. There is no other way than experience.
The Shalva method allows you to gain experience with the German language until you reach your X hours.
TL;DR : The Shalva Guidelines
Learn By speaking
1. People learn languages through hearing and imitation.
2. Speaking the language is the simplest and most effective practice of hearing and imitating.
Without Grammer
1. It is possible to master foreign languages without understanding the grammar. (how is your English?)
2. Grammar is highly complex. Learning a language through grammar will lead to desperation.
Small groups
1. It is the most efficient and comfortable way to learn a second language in the long run
Meetings Online
1. Having a meeting online increases the chances of meeting people who have a similar level of language proficiency.
2. An increase in clientele enables operational efficiency that is impossible to match in a physical meeting.
Intensive practice
1. Intensive practice is designed to help you start "think" in the second language.
2. Learning a new language is like rolling a ball up a mountain. If you stop pushing, it goes down.
4 week course
1. Our brain can work at full capacity only for a limited period; therefore, the courses are structured over four weeks and a week of rest.
