The Tomatis Method is based on Dr. Alfred Tomatis' lifetime of research and discovery in the field of human hearing and sound perception.

Fundamental to Dr. Tomatis' work was his basic tenet that one could not reproduce a sound that one could not hear.

It is this concept that has been extended and that plays such an important role in the learning of new languages.

Tomatis' discoveries also shed light on why it is so difficult for some people to learn and speak a foreign language.

Most importantly, he has developed a method and the equipment to overcome this difficulty.

The Tomatis Method works on acclimatizing the ear to the sounds of the new language. This results in a greater understanding and a dramatic reduction in the amount of time required to learn a language.
