Superlearning.

The history of Superlearning begins in the 1960´s with a Bulgarian doctor called Dr. Georgi Lozanov. He developed the suggestopedia method of learning which, in the early 1980´s, was further developed by an international team of experts in America into the PLS Superlearning system that we know today.

Features:

• Candidates are set into an almost trance-like deep state of relaxation which frees the mind of any other thoughts and distractions. This is usually done with the aid of soothing, relaxing music.
• When the candidates are completely relaxed, their attention is slowly focused onto the to-be-learnt material – usually a foreign language.
• The next stage involves an abrupt change of mood with a very provocative, dramatic and fantasy full presentation followed by several repetitions to music.
• Then there is the practise-phase where the newly learnt topic gets put to use in practical applications e.g. going shopping.
• Course organizers claim that it is possible to learn a foreign language in just 10 days – the experts are sceptical.
• Courses are very expensive.
• The secret of Superlearning is that both halves of the brain are equally stimulated and not just the left half as is the case in traditional methods. Both halves of the brain work harmoniously together to increase the storage capacity from an estimated 10% to 30%.
