The LEX WayAt LEX, we learn new languages the same way people learn their first language: through repeated listening, mimicking, and interaction with others. Using audio recordings of native speakers and with support from LEX club members, we gradually develop the ability to understand and speak multiple languages.
Research shows that anyone - at any age - can learn new languages, given time, motivation, and an encouraging environment. Click here to try out the activities for yourself.

Weekly Activities |
Members get together at least once a week in a fun and supportive environment to share the sounds of languages we are acquiring and encourage each other to speak. Clubs are available online or in-person. There are no tests, no homework, and no judgment.

Creating an Immersion Environment |
LEX Language audio recordings and transcripts are ideal for acquiring languages naturally by listening to native speakers tell stories about everyday life. We listen to the audio materials like background music whenever possible to create a natural immersion environment. The more we hear a language, the more familiar it becomes.
The activity of “singing the sounds” of a language is important at LEX. Emphasis is placed on maintaining the rhythm, melody, and natural patterns of a language. This process of mimicking the audio materials is similar to humming or singing, or even the babbling of a baby. In this way, members of all ages can acquire new languages. |
