When learning a new language, one usually cannot avoid the monotonous rote memorization of vocabulary. However, this is not the case with the innovative LaGeiss method by Helmut Lange and Oliver Geisselhart. All English terms are linked to images in a brain-friendly way along with their translations, making it easy to learn through the mental visualization of these often very funny scenes. For example, to better remember the German meaning of "Vorstand" for the English word "board" (pronounced "Bord"), one imagines a board meeting taking place on a ship. This quirky image is now indelibly associated with the meaning. The successful author duo impressively demonstrates how entertaining vocabulary learning can be.
