A method of foreign language education and instruction presents the student with a spoken target language expression in a series of specific contrasting voice tonalities, while at the same time the student is provided with contextually appropriate background sound. The expression to be presented may be a single word, a phrase, a sentence or a short narrative or monologue. The background sound may be music selected as appropriate to connote the nationality of the target language and, if possible, the context or meaning of the target language expression. In an educational session, while the background music is presented, a single narrator presents a target language expression by repeating it several times, each time with a different voice tonality connoting a distinct emotional state or mood on the part of the narrator. In preferred embodiments, four voice tonalities are used in succession: professional, friendly, questioning and sexy tones. An educational session comprises the presentation of one or more expressions by one or more narrators, accompanied by appropriate background sound.
