Language Learning with Heart.
The Rassias Method® is a unique approach that speeds language learning, increases language retention and has you speaking and understanding in "A week that makes a difference." Originally developed for Peace Corps training, it has been adapted by language teachers in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
We are committed to the premise that language instruction is a humanistic pursuit intended to sensitize individuals to other cultures, to the relativity of values, to share our resources for the betterment of national and international understanding; to the appreciation of similarities and respect for differences among peoples.
The Rassias Center is committed to the effective instruction of language and culture:
- to service in the field of communication and to the belief that understanding comes through sharing of ideas, of aspirations, of convictions, of problems, and of humanity;
- to instruction in languages in the private, public, and federal sectors of our society; OR: to render service in the acquisition of languages in the private, public, and federal sectors of our society;
- to instruction that is dynamic, durable, and dedicated to changing attitudes toward learning and the teaching of language and culture;
- to the demystification of language and elimination of the word "foreign" as an alienating sign
