Assimil

Assimil is originally a French company that was founded in 1929 by self-taught artist Alphonse Chérel in Paris and has its headquarters today in Chennevières sur Marne near Paris. This brand has a global presence in various countries today.

Assimil develops and publishes foreign language courses; the first was " L' Anglais Sans Peine " ( "English without toil "). Since then, the linguistic diversity enlarged resistant. Meanwhile, learning media is offered for about 50 different target languages ​​with up to 12 teaching languages ​​worldwide. For German speaking different languages ​​are available currently 25.

This method of teaching foreign languages ​​, based on the natural ability of intuitive learning. It consists in that the learner hears parallel to the textbook with the foreign text on the left and the native-language text on the right side of the texts in the foreign language. The focus is to use complete sentences. You start with a longer phase of passive learning ( listening / reading / comprehension) with many small reps about ( talk itself) up to half of the textbook before then the "active " part with the formation of the first own sentences in the foreign language begins.

The company name was "assimilation" derived from the word.

In Germany, there are currently two different series, the " no trouble " series for beginners, ( CEFR level A1 -B2 ) and the " in practice " series for advanced intermediate levels ( B2- C1). For English, there is also a course in business English as well as additional textbooks for advanced learners.

In Germany, most courses are available, in contrast to France and the PC (including MP3 sound files).
