Info-casting On A Spectrum
Imagine a ferret in a hardware shop
Not something you'd forget. That's how the
Linkword System helps you remember that the
Spanish for "hardware shop" is "ferreteria".
You'll remember that the French for "fish" is
"poisson” by imagining poisoning your pet fish.
Using Linkword you'll learn over 350 words in
only 10 hours, that's a quarter of the time it
would normally take. Enough for holidays,
business trips abroad or help with homework.
Start from scratch, and it's amazing how quickly
you learn a basic grammar and vocabulary.

Linkword courses in French, German and
Spanish are now available from Silversoft for the
48K Spectrum home computer, and there are
more to come soon.
They 're the biggest thing in languages since the
Tower of Babel.
