Learn languages the natural way!

We learn languages best by listening and repeating, not by memorizing grammar rules. LEX's audio materials create an immersion-style environment where you can learn naturally. 

"The LEX / Hippo program represents the perfect embodiment of what we know to be true about language and learning."
-Dr. Suzanne Flynn, Professor of Linguistics and Language Acquisition at MIT
