synopsis

The successful acquisition of foreign languages is generally blocked by psychological barriers. A group of Soviet philologists developed a revolutionary methodology for accelerated learning that relies on a positive attitude, suggestion, and teaching in the form of games. During 24 sessions we follow the gradual progress of two groups of students, which could be described as the first Soviet psychological reality show. Learning as continuous entertainment that breaks down complexes is an inspirational contribution not only to the topic of education, but also a reflection of the functioning of the human psyche.
