The Language Matrix is based on 3 Principles:
1. Language is a matrix.
All sentences can be formed by mixing and matching building blocks from a small set of vocabulary.
___
2. Verbs are the "seeds" of sentences.
I am...
I have...
I like...
Are you...?
Do you have...?
Do you like...?
___
3. You learn a language by expressing thoughts and communicating in the language.
The same way you
-learn to ride a bike by riding a bike

________
The Language Matrix blends these three principles into a simple experience which we think is the closest thing to an authentic language learning experience.
More importantly, we want to make language learning a do-it-yourself process by making people more effective language learners.
We realize that no at-home program is a substitute for real-life human experience. The ultimate goal is to bring people together by facilitating conversation through this language learning concept.
The Language Matrix concept works in all languages.
