"How can you put an end to that unpleasant feeling of not progressing ?

You are studying a foreign language, and have the impression that you are stagnating. Despite your best efforts, you are not advancing sufficiently. That’s where DialoguE comes in. In 5 days, thanks to the DialoguE Approach, you will make remarkable progress. In 5 days, you will advance one level. If you are at the elementary level, you will attain the intermediate level. If you have an intermediate level, you will attain the advanced level. In only 5 days!"

Believe it or not, I have copied the above text from the website of a Language School located in the UK. If that weren't enough to make you want to fork out the 3800 euros they want for Super Intensive Intensive Language Course Made to Order (verbatim) before the day is over, I'm sure you'll be delighted to know that

"your room is equipped with a tape recorder, a CD player and a walkman".

A tape recorder, a CD player and a walkman!  Do these people realise we are at the end of 2015?

There is another jewel on their homepage:

"A week of English immersion courses = 1 year of study"

And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse:

"During your total immersion in English at DialoguE, the English language will stop sounding alien and foreign to you. You will communicate naturally, to the point of forgetting your mother tongue. You will no longer translate; you will think directly in the English language. And you will be proficient and effective."

Now, what are you all waiting for? Get your credit card ready and treat yourselves to this miraculous experience. The saddest thing is that a client of mine told me yesterday she's seriously thinking of doing it. My heart just sank!
