Designed for rapid learning with a primary focus on conversation and vocabulary, Passport provides a balanced approach to language training. The content is well organized, with quick grammar, vocabulary, and cultural reviews for each section. The narrator takes time to explain the lessons, with a call-and-response learning style that requires less repetition. Level I creates a foundation of conversation skills, and Levels II-III allow continued progress to more advanced proficiency.

Michel Thomas

A private-style lesson directly from world-renowned linguist Michel Thomas, this program is perfect for anyone who is apprehensive about learning a language or for beginners wishing to acquire foundation skills very quickly. Thomas goes beyond traditional listen-and-repeat exercises, offering explanation of grammar concepts and conventions, including mnemonics and other tools to speed learning and retention. The Total program builds foundation skills, and the Perfect program offers more advanced learning.

Pimsleur Comprehensive

An ideal start for someone with little to no experience with a language. With emphasis on quickly building conversation skills, this program relies on the fundamental practice of listening and repetition to learn basic through advanced words and phrases. With a broad range of languages and up to 4 levels, the Comprehensive series allows continued progress to higher skill levels.

Penton Learn Anywhere

A great fit for someone with basic language familiarity who is looking to build on an existing foundation or re-learn skills from previous experience. With emphasis on reading and writing in addition to listening and speaking, the Learn Anywhere series introduces a broad range of vocabulary in both the audio program and the pdf guide. Well-organized and indexed into short chapters, Penton makes learning easy.

Living Language: In Flight

Making it easy to engage in a new language and fun enough to stick with, Living Language lets the learner build a quick foundation of essential words and phrases. By following a building block approach, listeners can learn in small bites, each piece reinforcing the previous one, advancing from words to full sentences then to actual conversations. Focused on the most common travel and social interactions, this program is a great quick start to any of 23 different languages.

Transparent Language Everywhere

Serving a broad range of needs, the Everywhere series provides a blended mix of listening, speaking, reading, writing, and cultural insight. It’s a great foundation program for anyone wanting to learn a language quickly. Multiple narrators keep lessons interesting and engaging with less repetition, and topic-specific chapters allow easy review of particular subjects. New vocabulary is introduced gradually, and students have ample opportunity to practice conversation skills to build proficiency.

Routledge Colloquial

The best choice for learning regional languages, these programs emphasize reading and writing proficiency, plus cultural insight and basic conversation skills. The first Colloquial level is designed for foundation learning, and Colloquial 2 helps more advanced students hone their knowledge and skills. The in-depth written study book is supported by the audio program. Rich grammar and vocabulary lessons and well-organized lesson plans provide a platform for continued learning in over 50 languages.

Berlitz Guaranteed

Berlitz builds basic listening and speaking skills by engaging the listener in a conversation. Content is well organized, and a variety of travel and social situations enable development of essential communication. Multiple speakers keep the dialogue interesting. Shorter segments led by an English narrator allow the listener to master each concept before moving on to a practice conversation with the native speakers.

Specialty Programs Penton Vocabulearn

A great resource to increase proficiency, Vocabulearn picks up where many other language programs leave off. Where most traditional language programs emphasize structure and rules, the specialized Vocabulearn series enables the listener to quickly expand their conversational abilities with over 2500 new words per level, increasing in complexity as the learner progresses.

Penton Accent On

Created specifically for military personnel in need of basic survival skills, Accent On is a highly-focused program offering military vocabulary and commands in a target language. This program is not intended to create a level of language proficiency; it is designed to support operational effectiveness and warfighter safety. Accent On also provides valuable cultural insight, including essential Do’s and Don’ts of interacting with locals in Iraq or Afghanistan. A pdf companion is available at no additional cost. Available in Dari, Pashto, and Iraqi Arabic.
