Ollendorff's method

Ollendorff's method is a language learning technique developed in the 19th century that focuses on mastering conversation through repetition and structured practice. It involves using dialogues and exercises that progressively introduce new vocabulary and grammar in context. Learners repeat phrases and sentences, gradually increasing complexity. This method emphasizes understanding the structure of a language, enabling learners to form sentences naturally and engage in meaningful conversations. It's effective because it combines active participation with a systematic approach, making language acquisition feel intuitive and practical.
