Fluency Fast uses a technique called TPRS, Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Storytelling. TPRS was invented by Blaine Ray, of Pismo Beach, California in the late 1980's. He began presenting workshops to foreign language teachers in the early 1990's and now more than 10,000 teachers attend training workshops annually. Thousands more use the TPRS books in their classrooms. The method involves telling stories using fundamental vocabulary. Both the vocabulary and grammatical structures are retained because the techniques are based on brain research designed to lodge language in the long term memory. Simply put, TPRS takes advantage of how we really learn - re-creating the miracle of how babies are able to understand thousands of words before reaching the age of two! Classes are fun. The only outside work involves reading completely understandable, simple stories and short novels. This is not your high school Spanish class! We know that you'll have to see it and hear it to believe it. But, if after the first day Fluency Fast isn't for you, we'll refund your entire registration fee.
