About us - CENTRO ELEUSIS

ABOUT US

CENTRO ELEUSIS is a psychological institute dealing with Managerial Psychology, Sports Psychology and Educational Psychology. Within the area of Educational Psychology we are offering accelerated language courses through the psychological method called Hypnagology (Copyright).

We have been using the Hypnagological Method in Costa del Sol since 1990, with participants from all Europe and other continents. This methodology is a logical consequence of the Suggestological Method, developed mainly at the University of Copenhagen at the end of the 70’s.

We can assure that our Hypnagological Method of language training provides optimal results.

This type of teaching is not under experimentation anymore. The results of the learning speed in a relaxed way have shown how easy a new language can be learned, no matter the age, educational background, etc., of the individual participant. Including people who considered they were unable to learn a second language, (with dyslexic problems, “lack of musical ear”, “concentration difficulties”, and many other prejudicial myths) are now using perfectly well the target language through the Hypnagological Method.

In relation to age, persons from 12 to 82 years old have been participating in our accelerated courses since 1990. This implies without any doubt the efficacy of this scientific method. The optimal results of the courses have demonstrated through decades that any ADULT, from any profession or activity, from any educational level or nationality, is able to learn a new language in A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

We consider “language” as behaviour, just as walking or running. And as VERBAL BEHAVIOUR, what we do while teaching the language is creating the habit of using it.

The main principle of the Hypnagological Method is to teach the target language in such a way that the whole personality of the individual can use it as a “tool” for communication within his/her immediate environment. That is why psychological techniques as Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) making use of visual memory, auditive memory and kinestesic memory, are essential in accelerating the learning process. At the same time, in order to acquire self-confidence in creating personal sentences in the target language and also to unblock as soon as possible certain prejudicial myths about language learning, we are using eriksonian feedback techniques, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt Psychology. Always depending on the personal situation of the individual participant. This means that the Hypnagological Method integrates itself to the way of learning of the individual participant. Functioning in a completely different way the conventional methods are trying wrongly to “integrate” the individual participant to their own “method” or “textbook”.

Working with the “wholeness” of the individual has shown time after time that the learning process goes much faster and the assimilation of the new material takes place without any effort.

One of the main ideas of the Hypnagological Cycle is that the more relaxed the person is in a teaching/learning situation, the faster and better he/she will reaccomodate all the new information into a habit. So first of all, we teach people to RELAX, in order to teach them the target language in a dynamic way.

In practice, the Hypnagological Method applies a continual positive feedback system, being the instructor the FACILITATOR and the MOTIVATOR. This approach is radically different from traditional language teaching. The participant is not going to be sitting there drilling language. The participant is not going to be sitting there and expected to learn a lot of rules by heart and to understand the grammatical structure of the language. All he/she is going to do is TO LEARN TO USE IT. By listening and by talking. We do not use descriptive grammatical rules at any moment. Instead of that, linguistic transference is fundamental in order to learn a new language in a LOGICAL way.

Language is VERBAL BEHAVIOUR, which means that language is COMMUNICATION. Learning languages is therefore a CREATIVE PROCESS. What the instructor does is to teach the participant to create. To create phrases, to create sentences, to create utterances, to create ideas.

Teaching a language is a question of giving the participant the relaxed condition and environment in order to enable him/her to speak spontaneously, in order to COMMUNICATE. The sentences come from the “heart”. The participants are going to be in a lot of unpredictable situations. Therefore, the instructor must teach the participant HOW to create his/her own sentences. INDIVIDUAL CREATIVE SENTENCES. That makes language a FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOUR. It is something that the participant needs to function with, as a habit. We are teaching functions, social niceities and roleplaying, for example.

The type of courses we teach in CENTRO ELEUSIS follow these two main patterns:

IMITATION PROCESS: the participant is imitating and copying a model (instructor) and is also learning a great deal of automatic responses. Language is considered mainly as a habit. The goal of automatic responses used at the beginning is to introduce the participant into the habit of speaking the new language.
CREATIVE (generative) PROCESS: the participant is generating and creating his/her own responses all the time.

To reach the aim faster and more effectively it is necessary to forget the descriptive grammar. Descriptive grammar is an inherent part of language and a language cannot exist per se without the descriptive grammar. But it does not mean that a language must be taught following a whole pattern of descriptive grammatical rules.

Instead of that, the use of language transference is much more effective, interesting and even enjoyable, increasing radically the acquisition of confidence. Linguistic transference shows how descriptive grammar is assimilated automatically, on each activity, without practically any effort, and without the instructor explaining the theoretical aspects of descriptive grammar. The participant is learning the “grammatical rules” and its exceptions almost without noticing it. Exactly the same way he/she learned his/her own language. With the advantage that now, the instructor is continually giving the right feedback of the individual participant’s verbal behaviour HERE AND NOW.

This approach is very different from the traditionally used because here descriptive grammar is not considered as an essential part of verbal behaviour, but only as a supporter or as a frame of reference to enrich the ability of expression.

The Hypnagological Method gives us four main advantages:

The participant learns faster and in a relaxed way.
The teaching process is more dynamic.
The participant does not get bored with a series of grammatical rules which probably he/she will forget after a short period of time.
The participant is learning the language by acquiring confidence, and not by memorizing illogical and many times incoherent rules.

SOME PERSONAL EVALUATIONS:

"Having battled for some eleven years in an effort to learn to speak reasonable Spanish (not easy at an advanced age whilst living in the "campo!"), my wife and I were astonished at the result achieved, almost imperceptibly, after only five days... One great plus is the confidence which Dr. Valle manages to instil, and this is coupled with a concentration on aspects of the language relevant to the student... Time is not wasted on dry text-book material, but is spent fruitfully on the sort of language with which one can communicate with those around one... We heartily recommend these courses, particularly for those who have had mixed results in the past with more "traditional" (and probably boring) methods."

Ilmo. y Muy Revdo. Dr. Peter Miln, Archpriest

"I think the course (Half-Intensive Course= 50 sessions in a period of 10 days) has been fantastic. The instructor is very good explaining in a logical way making understandable the new language... I learnt a lot each time I was there and felt that everyday I was doing better and better... The teaching procedures are so interesting so time goes by very quickly. It is not boring at all... I am very excited about the way I have been taught. It is enjoyable and practical at the same time... The relaxation technique is very comfortable and a completely different way of getting the information into the brain... I want to take Level 2 sometime next year!"

Jytte Mikkelsen (72 years old), Pensionist

"Thank you very much for the Spanish course in June (Intensive Course= 5 days)... I liked very much learning Spanish, especially because the Hypnagological Method is different compared to other methods I know... I have spoken Spanish in my job and I want to learn more!... Is it possible another individual course in November?... Kind regards."

Wenche Viken, Border Controller

"On behalf of Lynne and I, I would like to thank Centro Eleusis for an amazing week, (Intensive Course= 5 days) and our Spanish has improved beyond belief!!!... I wouldn´t hesitate to recommend your course and your unique method of teaching".

Gary Lewis, Director

"Thank you very much for this Intensive Course (5 days)...You made me feel all the time very welcomed and relaxed... And the hypnagological teacher was a very comfortable person to be with..."

Vincent Crump, Businessman

"During the last 5-7 years my Spanish language did not move forward at all, and even with my passive vocabulary growing day by day, I was not able to transform it into an active vocabulary. I am very busy everyday with a lot of working hours, and I do not have time for long term language courses with homework. Therefore, a Crash Course (7 days) at Centro Eleusis was an obvious possibility to move forward here and now. After this course of 7 days I feel much more confident when I get involved with sentences containing 3-4 different Past tenses, and my active vocabulary has become notably bigger. 10 hours (15 sessions) per day may sound like a lot, but I always felt clear in my head and very motivated after each "school-day"."

Helle Espersen, La Danesa Editor

"In only 5 days (Intensive Course), I have achieved the confidence to speak actively in Spanish with everybody... Before this course, I was afraid to say whatever in Spanish. My passive vocabulary became activated in a quick, easy and enjoyable way... The effectiveness of the method is just unbelievable. I wish to recommend this type of course to all those people who really want to learn Spanish as soon as possible".

Anna Thøgersen, Director

"I have heard about these courses from Bestseller´s Personnel Director. And I believed that it was not possible to learn a new language during just one week. But after talking to him, I took a look to Eleusis Website and decided to contact them... Later on I talked to them during 10 minutes on the phone and I decided to participate. And because I travel quite a lot, I did not have more time to take a longer course. I am also a very impatient person and like it when things happen here and now... After my participation in a Crash-Course (7 days), I speak Spanish at a level where I can function with Spanish speaking people in my daily life, and understand the language and the structure... It is a fantastic successful experience!... So from here I will unreservedly recommend this method to you who want to learn a language as soon as possible!"

Carsten Mikkelsen, Entrepreneur

"This course has opened the doors for me. A new door was opening up everyday as the course progressed, giving me the drive to pursue the constant use of the Spanish language. Being a complete beginner the first day, I now feel ready to practise with real people. And through this I will soon be ready to continue with level 2... I just want to mention that I never before got the key to unlock that door to experience a new language. CENTRO ELEUSIS has given the key to me. I have now the necessary tools to keep on going and reach my goals."

Ronald Emile Rosenkranz, Businessman

"The system is perfect for me, because for adults it is a very positive enlightening form to learn the new language".

Flemming Petersen, Pensionist

"I believed I was unteachable, but this method proves that everybody can learn a new language with the right teacher and the right techniques".

Mark Ainsworth, Salesman

" I have tried to learn Spanish before in different occasions, but this is the first time I really feel I have learned enough to communicate with people".

Wendolyne Thurley, Pensionist

" After only one 2-weeks course (Half-Intensive course), I became much more confident and secure while speaking the language. I can see now that the more relaxed I am the better my communication skills are. And learning how to relax has been part of the course".

Bill Brady, Consultant & Advisor

“ I found the teaching method employed by Carlos at Centro Eleusis to be quite remarkable. Within a day I had a grasp of the basic structure of the language and by the end of the week was engaging in lengthy conversations with Carlos in Spanish. I would thoroughly and unreservedly recommend the course.”

Gavin Galagher, Arquitect

"After numerous attempts to grasp Castilian at language schools, I was absolutely over the moon after my course with Carlos (which I also found to be therapeutic). I amazed everyone with sudden, newfound knowledge of Spanish! This gave me the confidence & ability to converse with the locals and has benefitted my social & business life considerably.

My advice is “ pónganse en contacto con Carlos ……………………”

Jonty Healey, Designer

“My studies at Centro Eleusis have only positive experiences from the course. I moved to Spain many years ago and had only picked up a few words and phrases during so many years living in the country. I even went to different conventional Spanish courses in well known Institutes and never managed to be able to hold a conversation with a Spanish speaking person before. After a Crash Course stretching over 2(times)10 days I can now freely converse in Spanish and are able to understand most things said to me… The Hypnagological Method, used in Centro Eleusis, is revolutionary. I learnt without much effort and there was absolutely no homework to do, which was a relief to me who works many hours every day… The money I paid for Spanish lessons at Centro Eleusis is worth every penny of it… It has been the best investment in my future in Spain I have ever made. I can recommend it to everyone.”

Kirsten Thomas, Director of New Programmes Development

“During my three years in Tenerife I learnt to communicate ¡in a fashion! With my Canarian employees. Learning, as I did, off my Canarian workmen I found it very frustrating not being able to hold a normal conversation in Spanish without ending up talking “gibberish”… On seeing and advertisement for the relaxation course with ELEUSIS and after an information meeting, I thought it essential for me to learn the structure of the language. Although at first it was difficult I found that after the relaxation sessions I was able to see the structure of the language more clearly. After only a few days of this method of leaning I felt myself growing in confidence and was able to communicate on a much higher standard… Whilst realising that this method of teaching the structure of the language is of utmost importance, I feel that I could not have completed the course with as much confidence as I did without the exceptional teaching qualities, help and understanding that I received… After completion of the ten day course I found that I am able to communicate and hold a normal conversation in Spanish which I had not been able to do in my previous three years of learning in Tenerife… I would therefore highly recommend anyone who is contemplating taking the relaxation course to do so… This is the cheapest investment I have ever made, simply because of the immense rewards… I must give special thanks to Centro Eleusis for giving me the ability and confidence to speak a new language.

Michael Holiday, Property Developer

“After this course I feel much more confident in speaking to Spanish people and when meeting Spanish clients.”

Nikke Von Heflen, Sales Representative

“It was enjoyable and I gained the results that I was promised by Centro Eleusis.”

Eric Westenholz, Psychologist

“I enjoyed and learned more than I expected”.

Chris Gardener, Resort Operations Manager

“I learned more Spanish than 3 years of trying different Spanish teachers.”

Elsebeth Sörensen, Housewife

“It is not only a language course, but also a course of personal development, because I found that I was not as hopeless at learning languages as I had always thought.”

Ivar Sletten, Chairman

“In a week my wife and I learned more Spanish than 3 years of going to a conventional language school.”

Per Chistensen, Chairman

“I was amazed of the amount of information I could retain and use in a period of 2 weeks without practically making an effort.”

Malcolm Swanston, Chairman

“The course is taught in such a way that the language seems to be very simple to learn… After just 5 lessons I could converse in past, present and future tenses albeit rather slowly. During each lesson I began to think in Spanish rather than translating everything and this helped to increase the speed. The relaxation periods helped me to remember all the verb conjugations in all tenses.”

Karen Dykes, PA to the Marketing Director

“Although the course was intensive, I was looking forward each day to the new sessions because each day I was becoming more and more confident in using the Spanish language,”

Rigmor Westenholz, Housewife

“ Thank you very much for your fantastic and inspiring teaching. We have enjoyed the way we were taught and also learnt a lot… We are beginning to think in Spanish, so it is staying there! It is wonderful! Now we are able to get involved with Spanish people.”

Hardy and Karina Lang, retired couple

“We thanks the incredibly fine teaching hours and we wish Centro Eleusis a wonderful Christmas!

Sissel and Björn Bratsberg, pensionists

“I am writing to express my delight in the rapid improvement your Spanish language Hypnagological course has given me… After only one course, my confidence was greatly increased, and after the second course, I found myself automatically translating from English to Spanish, even whilst watching TV, or reading a book or newspaper. The relaxed atmosphere and clear teaching method of Centro Eleusis, make understanding structure of Spanish absolutely simple… Thank you very much for your patience, and also for the ability I now have to converse with my neighbours… I am deeply impressed that this should happen so quickly.

Veronica M. Gibson, Pensionist

“It is a pleasure for me write some lines about my participation in an individual intensive course in Spanish in Centro Eleusis… It is even a greater pleasure to recommend your teaching to other people, who are looking for rapid and effective Spanish learning without stressing situations… Just to mention in my own experience about the effectiveness of the learning method following the hypnagological principle I can clearly document that I suddenly discovered myself speaking Spanish while sleeping… Because of your confident feeling about every individual skills, the ability to speak Spanish at the level of the person you are teaching, plus the condition that you do not use punishment/reinforcement strategies, but instead you correct all the time constructively… I recommend Centro Eleusis with great pleasure to all busy businessman wishing to find the shortest way to really converse in Spanish, while living in Spain”.

Fritz Videbech, Lawyer

“Having attended your classes to learn Spanish using the Relaxation Technique, I have found that the course has helped me enormously in dealing with the numerous telephone calls I receive in Spanish… It is remarkable how much I have learned from the course… Thank you so much for your help.

                                                                                                       Joyce Morgan-Protheros, Owner

“The grammatical part of learning a new language is always the hardest part to learn. The Hypnagological method of teaching makes it easy to comprehend and makes you want to speak the language more… Thank you Centro Eleusis, for opening the door to a new world!

                                                                                                               Margit Williams, Housewife

“I was a bit nervous and apprehensive when I first started my course at Centro Eleusis. But as we progressed it became clear that it was the correct decision I made as you have given me back my confidence to speak Spanish, and I now can go out and speak it correctly… Thank you very much for your help”.

                                                                                                                Yvonne Oticks, Pensionist

“It is the best and most useful Spanish course we have been participating in”.

                               Lilly Olesen, Elly Hylledig, Karen Margrethe Faber, Bjarne Olesen, Pensionister

“After participating in my second intensive course here in Centro Eleusis, I can only recommend it… The learning method is, in accordance to my own previous experiences, very effective, and although the course has been very intensive, there was not any moment where I felt tired. On the contrary, the participation has totally finished with my anxiety to express myself in Spanish, also with Spaniards, and finished with the blockings I had while conjugating the verbs. It was not difficult at all, in the way it was done… In summary, a positive experience!”

                                                                                                                 G.W. Schütze, Pensionist

“After finishing my course I want to express with the present letter hereby, my complete satisfaction with your teaching.
Taking in consideration my age (76), I was absolutely surprised when I started to communicate in Spanish.”

                                                                                                         Tove Bodi-Kaufholz, Pensionist

“It has been a wonderful and useful course”.

                                                                                                    Mogens Kirkegaard, Businessman

“I have tried several Spanish courses here in Spain, and I think that the intensive course I took at Centro Eleusis is the best, the most effective,
Quality costs, but I saved time when I consider the gain I had, and maybe I would have saved money also if I had taken 2 or 3 intensive courses at the beginning. At least it would have been a much nicer experience, with much more knowledge in a shorter period of time.
For the record I can tell that I have participated in different Spanish courses in Málaga area for 3 years. Which enabled me to start at a Medium (so to speak) level in Centro Eleusis and I feel I got more gain after only 2 weeks than I had ever felt at any other course.”

                                                                                                          Jesper Beck-Larsen, Salesman

“Before the course began I had no knowledge of the structure of the language and knew one or two phrases. The thought of spending one or two hours per week for maybe a year or more had completely put me off trying to learn Spanish. Therefore, although I was a little sceptical, the possibility of learning in two weeks was very appealing.
Although the course was intensive it was never tiring. It was always fun and the relaxation sessions were very refreshing. After a hard day at work one would expect three hours of language lessons to exhaust you, but it was more like an injection of energy.
I was very surprised when, after 5 sessions the group was actually debating the English education system entirely in Spanish… This method may suit everyone, and I can’t imagine a more enjoyable and easy way to learn a language.”

                                                                                                    Phil Dykes, Sales Representative

“Before I started the lessons my knowledge of Spanish was very limited. I was very keen to learn the language but quite apprehensive as I couldn’t imagine been able to talk Spanish in 10 days.
At first I found it fairly difficult to keep up with the rest of the class and I got embarrassed when I spoke in case I made a mistake. I soon realised that it didn’t matter as I felt encouraged at how quickly I was learning.
Due to the relaxation periods I felt I absorbed a lot of knowledge in a short space of time, for example, different verbs and the tenses.
The type of teaching made Spanish an easy language to learn as I thought I would get totally lost… I am really pleased that now I can speak Spanish and with practice I know I will gain more and more confidence and ability.”

                                                                                                               Caroline Bland, Accountant

“Well, what can I say? Before the course began I was understandably a bit apprehensive and never dreamt that I would be able to speak or understand as much Spanish as I can now.
I thought the structure of the course was excellent- the method of reading, translating then answering questions first in the present then the past and future tense really drilled the language into my brain in a short time-span. I was particularly intrigued to know how the relaxation periods would affect me as I had never partaken in that way of learning. I was very pleased with how it helped me to concentrate and organise what we had learnt during the lesson in my brain. Also, I found that extra studying outside of the course was not necessary.
This, combined with the lecturer being friendly and approachable with an excellent sense of humour made it easier to be confident and relaxed throughout the lessons. The course has allowed me to break through the language barrier and therefore broaden my horizons for the future.”

“I am very positively surprised on how much can be taken in, in an old lady’s brain in such a short time-span… I want to say that this course is worth all the money I have paid and more than that.”

“Now I can practice a lot of Spanish. I speak with the sailors at the port and watch the news and other programmes in Spanish. And everyday I am learning more and more words!
I thank Centro Eleusis for my new language and I am looking forward for my next course in November!”

“Thank you very much for your help. It was a fantastic course. I hope to see you again.”

“I am very pleased with the results after so few lessons. You have taught me more in one week than I was able to learn in 6 months of lessons with other teachers”.
