Lively, useful dialogue Carefully constructed progression Pronunciation using the recordings Founded in 1929, Assimil is available in nearly 100 countries and has sold millions of learning methods in 13 different source languages. The Assimil method makes learning foreign languages intuitive, in the same way as children learn their native language. Children hear people talking every day. They assimilate the sounds and their meaning, repeatedly try to reproduce them before beginning to form their own sentences. The Assimil method replicates this process, adapting it to teenagers and adult learners. Learning is progressive. The Assimil methods allow you to reach level B2 using the With Ease collection and level C1 with the Perfectionnement collection. This is the average level reached after 4 to 5 months of work at the rate of 30 to 40 minutes per day. Assimil methods exist in the classic format of a manual + an audio support, or in digital format for Mac or Windows, Android and iOS.
