About Linguaphone
Linguaphone is a prestigious British language learning institution with a century-long heritage in developing comprehensive language education methods and materials.
Founded in London by language enthusiast Jacques Roston, Linguaphone pioneered audio-based language learning, initially creating phonograph records that allowed learners to hear and mimic native pronunciation—revolutionary at a time when most language learning was text-based. This audio-lingual approach became known as the Linguaphone Method and established the company as an innovator in language education.
Throughout its history, Linguaphone has evolved its methodologies and formats while maintaining its core principle that effective language learning combines listening, understanding, speaking, and reading. From vinyl records to digital apps, the company has continuously adapted its delivery methods to incorporate new technologies.
Today, Linguaphone offers language courses in over 30 languages through self-study programs, online learning platforms, and a network of language institutes across the globe. The brand remains synonymous with quality language education, respected for its structured pedagogical approach and comprehensive learning systems developed by linguistic experts.
