FAQs:
Q: How is Soltura™ different from other language training programs?
A: Unlike other approaches to teaching language, Soltura™ provides live conversation with a language expert who is both a professional teacher and a native speaker. If you have been educated in the basics of another language, you need to learn how to use what you know. As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. Unique amidst the crowd, Soltura™ teaches you how to communicate.
Q: What can I get from Soltura™ that I can't learn in the classroom?
A: Education in a foreign language is an amazingly valuable tool. However, the constraints of a classroom can not allow students the one-on-one interaction that Soltura™ provides. Practicing the skills you develop in the classroom with Soltura™ will give you confidence and actual fluency in a foreign language. You need to do more than learn the language, you must learn how to communicate fluently.
Q: Why is fluency important in learning a foreign language?
A: Fluency allows you to communicate directly with people. Without the ability to speak freely, you are constrained by your brain's struggle to explain what you are thinking. When a baby learns to walk, their minds and bodies are challenged by the complexities of balance, coordination, and muscle memory. However, once you learn how to walk it becomes natural and effortless. Soltura™ builds the ability to think, speak, and act freely in a foreign language.
Q: How is Soltura Language Incorporated different from other businesses?
A: Soltura Language Incorporated has a dedication to much more than a financial bottom line. Our mission is to broaden the linguistic experience of users, expand cultural exchange, encourage international community, and increase access to educational opportunities. This means more than getting people talking across borders, we are dedicated to serving the communities on both sides of the conversation. For starters, every US participant corresponds to school supplies being provided to a child in Latin America. We are committed to building technological and educational facilities in the locales where our highly-qualified native speakers live, while at the same time building knowledge and capability in the students who use Soltura™.
Q: Can Soltura™ teach me a language that I don't speak at all?
A: No. Soltura™ exists to build upon a platform of knowledge by giving users a chance to practice the language skills they already posses. If you have no existing skills, then Soltura™ can't build upon them. There are hundreds of ways to learn the basics of a language. Once you have proficiency, Soltura™ will be here to take you to fluency.
Q: How does Soltura™ compare with studying abroad?
A: If you want to learn a language, there is no better way than true immersion. To be surrounded completely by that foreign language, with no ability to speak your native tongue, will teach you faster than anything else. However, studying abroad requires a big investment of both time and money. Soltura™ brings the experience of true immersion to you directly by giving you the opportunity to speak directly to a highly-qualified native speaker. Of course, if you are going out of the country Soltura™ is the best way to prepare yourself for complete immersion!
