1965 Press Photo David Algie Schoolmaster Learns Italian During Sleep London

Schoolmaster Learns Italian... While He Sleeps... Schoolmaster David Algie a 46 year old bachelor who lives in Belgravia - London is a pupil of the sleep learning association... He has not got enough time to learn Italian during the day - so he learns it at night - while he sleeps... He puts a tape recorder by his bed side, with an Italian Language tape on a time switch - and a small speaker under his pillow. Mr. Algie believes that this system gets a student accustomed to the rhythm and pronunciation of a language. He says that "In the mornings I know and understand words that have been played to me by the recorder - as if I had known them all my life". Keystone Photo Shows: Mr. Davis Lagie with his tape recorder - and an Italian dictionary - as he prepares to go to sleep - for a nice night's studying!!!
