Dr. Dennis Dunham was a Peace Corps Volunteer in South Korea teaching English to Middle School boys. With 70 students in a class, he was challenged to learn the best methods possible. During this time, he begin to notice that students who learned by listening first, instead of speaking first, had the best pronunciation and acquired the language the fastest.
