Process for accelerating the learning of languages

Claim 2

A process for accelerating the learning of languages whereby an individual is made to acquire a phonation curve pertaining to a foreign language to be learned, said process comprising converting into electrical signals an original phonation curve which is different from a characteristic curve of a language to be learned and which is formed by vocal emissions of an individual constituted by the recitation of phrases in the language to be learned and, in a first stage of learning extending for a first period of time for modifying said original phonation curve by a first selective filtering of said signals so as to obtain a first audition cUrve having a substantially constant energy level as a function of frequency, which audition curve is made to be heard by the individual so as to enable the individual to acquire a first modified phonation curve similar to said first audition curve obtained, and, in a second stage of learning subsequent to said first stage of learning extending for a second period of time during which the individual still recites phrases in the language to be learned, modifying said first modified phonation curve of the individual by a second selective filtering of the electrical signals produced from said first modified phonation curve so as to obtain a second audition curve the form of which reproduces the characteristic phonation curve of the language to be learned, said second audition curve being made to be heard by the individual so as to cause him to acquire said characteristic phonation curve of the language to be learned.

Claim 3

A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first selective filtering produces an audition curve which is symmetrical to the phonation curve of the mother tongue of the individual relative to a reference energy level constituted by said substantially constant energy level.

Claim 4

A process as claimed in claim 1, further comprising restoring in the course of the entire learning procedure a sound recording audible to the individual, said sound recording comprising a series of vocal emissions such as phonemes, words or phrases separated by silences during which the individual may repeat said vocal emissions.

Claim 5

A process as claimed in claim 3, further comprising recording the vocal emissions of the individual during the silences between the vocal emissions of said recording.

Claim 6

A process for accelerating the learning of languages whereby an individual is made to acquire a phonation curve pertaining to a foreign language to be learned, said process comprising converting into electrical signals an original phonation curve which is different from the characteristic curve of the language to be learned and which is formed by vocal emissions of the individual constituted by the recitation of phrases in the language to be learned and in a first stage of learning extending for a first period of time for modifying said original phonation curve by a first selective filtering of said signals so as to obtain a first audition curve whose energy levels of essential frequencies are distinctly higher and/or lower than those of the corresponding frequencies of the phonation curve of the language to be learned, said audition curve being heard by the individual so that the individual acquires a first modified phonation curve similar to said first audition curve obtained, and, in a second stage of learning subsequent to said first stage of learning, extending for a second period of time during which the individual still recites phrases in the language to be learned, modifying the first modified phonation curve of the individual by a second selective filtering of the electrical signal produced by said first modified phonation curve so as to obtain a second audition curve whose form reproduces the characteristic phonation curve of the language to be learned, said second audition curve being heard by the individual whereby the individual is made to acquire said phonation curve of the language to be learned.

Claim 7

A process for accelerating the learning of languages whereby an individual is made to acquire a phonation curve pertaining to a foreign language to be learned, said process comprising converting into electrical signals an original phonation curve which is different from the characteristic curve of the language to be learned and which is formed by vocal emissions of the individual constituted by the recitation of phrases in the language to be learned and in a first stage of learning extending for a first period of time for modifying said original phonation curve by a first selective filtering of said signals so as to obtain a first audition curve whose energy levels of essential frequencies are distinctly higher and/or lower than those of the corresponding frequencies of the phonation curve of the language to be learned, said audition curve being heard by the individual so that the individual acquires a first modified phonation curve similar to said first audition curve obtained, and, in a second stage of learning subsequent to said first stage of learning, extending for a second period of time during which the individual still recites phrases in the language to be learned, modifying the first modified phonation curve of the individual by a second selective filtering of the electrical signal produced by said first modified phonation curve so as to obtain a second audition curve whose form reproduces the characteristic phonation curve of the language to be learned, said second audition curve being heard by the individual whereby the individual is made to acquire said phonation curve of the language to be learned.
