Suggestopedia
is a teaching method developed by the Bulgarian psychotherapist Georgi Lozanov. The method has been used in different fields of studies but mostly in the field of foreign language learning.

Although people think that Suggestopedia is a methodology that works with relaxation, music, and baroque music, it is not.

Suggestopedia, however, does not use any kind of manipulative technique, such as hypnosis or guided imagery. It DOES NOT have any connection with SUPERLEARNING or NLP, although many people misunderstand Suggestopedia and think that it is Superlearning. This confusion is caused because after UNESCO approved and recommended Suggestopedia as a superior method (in 1978), Dr. Lozanov was placed under house arrest for 10 years in communist Bulgaria. During this time, the free world had no more access to him and researchers tried to use Suggestopedia according to their best understanding. Only after 1989 when the political situation changed in Bulgaria, Dr. Lozanov was able to move to Austria.
