Abstract
The invention concerns a method for source language comprehension designed for a listener mastering a target language, which consists in causing the listener to listen to a statement, consisting of a series of several contents, in the source language and in displaying simultaneously with the listening of the statement a succession of notations marking the succession of contents in the source language, showing a notation marking a content only as from the time when it is being heard and showing, a series of inscriptions in the target language which corresponds to the full statement. The method is characterized in that it consists in showing the whole series of inscriptions before the beginning of the statement.

A method for enabling a source language to be understood by a listener mastering a target language implemented by a language comprehension device, the method comprising:
- displaying a statement in the target language in its entirety, the statement in the target language including a first set of words that are a formal translation of a statement in the source language;
- and
- audibly reproducing, by the language comprehension device, the statement in the source language as a succession of sounds, after said displaying of the statement in the target language;
- sequentially displaying a succession of markings, the markings are displayed to timely correspond to the successive sounds as audibly reproduced in said audibly reproducing;
- and
- sequentially displaying a second set of words in the target language, the words in the second set are a word-by-word sequential translation of the statement audibly reproduced, and the words in the second set are displayed to timely correspond to the succession of sounds as audibly reproduced in said audibly reproducing, said sequentially displaying a second set of words includes using graphical discrimination between the words in the target language that have already appeared and the remainder of the display where the following words will appear.
A device, comprising:
- a display which displays a statement in the target language in its entirety, the statement in the target language including a first set of words that are a formal translation of a statement in the source language;
- an audio reproduction unit configured to audibly reproduce the statement in the source language as a succession of sounds, after displaying of the statement in the target language;
- and
- the display sequentially displays a succession of markings, the markings are displayed to timely correspond to the succession of sounds as audibly reproduced, and to sequentially display a second set of words in the target language, the words in the target language are a word-by-word sequential translation of the statement audibly reproduced, and the words in the second set are displayed to timely correspond to the succession of sounds as audibly reproduced, said sequentially displaying a second set of words includes using graphical discrimination between the words in the target language that have already appeared and the remainder of the display where the following words will appear.
A device, comprising:
- means for displaying a statement in the target language in its entirety, the statement in the target language including a first set of words that are a formal translation of a statement in the source language;
