     About American & English Academy
ABA – American & english academy, with a 30-year experience in both attendance and multimedia English teaching, has developed within the last 6 years, a method which turns out to be the ultimate solution in learning to speak English.

The method responds in logical manner, to great technology developments, through which the PC, discovered by IBM in 1980, invaded homes in the 90’s, and started including, among other features, and from the year 2000, CD-ROM units and sound applications, making it a true multimedia piece of equipment.

In 1997, ABA managed to gather quite important financial resources, and a multinational team of European and American experts. These experts made use of these technology developments for six years, to create a method with excellent pedagogical contents, yet entertaining at the same time.

This method manages to teach English with an excellent pronunciation and intonation. It teaches how to write English with no spelling mistakes, allowing the ear to practice in a continuous manner, to understand English and turn the student’s ear into an “English ear”.

This software method is called The Academy At Home, and it is so entertaining, it steals hours of TV from those addicted to TV series and hours of navigation from the web addicts. It is and intelligent, interesting, nice and entertaining software, conquering an ambitious goal: Speaking English rapidly and very easily.

The Academy At Home is the ultimate solution to English speaking. Its introduction at the beginning of this century has been indeed the logical response to technology developments.

In the last century, two were the traditional language-learning systems: the private teacher, and the classroom teacher with groups of four, to ten students.

During the second half of the century two other methods of individual nature and different from the private teacher method, made their appearance:

- The Audio and audiovisual courses, to be studied at home either with or without the support of a distance-learning teacher; and,

- The Academies fitted with computers, starting from 1985, and thanks to the discovery of the Personal Computer by IBM, where users would go, to study in booths and take advantage of learning with PCs.

Both desktop computers and laptops are present in most of the households, in our current society, and in many cases, there is even more than one PC at home. This fact renders both preceding methods obsolete, due to the following reasons:

The Academy at Home, via the PC, constantly corrects the student, both in the writing and the pronunciation skills, rendering thus, the distance teacher unnecessary.

Academies make no sense anymore; as it is more practical and inexpensive to get the academy and take it home for good, by purchasing The Academy at Home Software.

The Academy at Home is not a service with a due date, like those courses attended at academies with booths. It is a very complete product that includes study and review material, which will stay the customer’s property, allowing him/her to be able to study English with it, at all times. We are talking about purchasing a product, not a service. A product with a fifteen-year guarantee.

The Academy At Home is offered under very special financing conditions, so the method can be acquired by everyone at no effort. The course has been developed by ABA, following the European Council’s sponsoring for reducing the community’s costs of operation, regarding communication. The unique language is taking over, and The Academy at Home is the solution for a Fast, Possible and Easy English.
