Hi Lina.
It’s fascinating to learn by listening and its such a shame the school is no longer exists. Do you know by any chance is there are any other schools or teachers who are teaching in similar style? I would be really interested to try learning that way. Grateful for any information. Thanks.

In reply to Louise. Thanks for letting me know, Louise. I've updated the post. It's a shame they didn't survive, I thought the lessons were very useful.

Sadly LINK closed down July 2016. Lucky for me I benefited from their classes before it did. I found that through a week of intensive listening, I was a much more confident speaker. I really hope this style is revived as it is the perfect adjunct to other more formal methods.

This is exactly how to learn any new language so I applaude them. Listen repeat listen repeat……. Think of how you learned you native language….hear, repeat etc. Schools spend too much wasted time on grammar, spelling sentence structure etc. which is why many take language courses for years and can’t speak the language Your initial goal should be to speak, be understood and understand a reponse. PERIOD. Forget whether it is perfect , that will come with time.
Too bad they are not in Siem Reap or have an on-line course. You learned to write, spell, etc. long after you said “mommy and daddy”.
