DEDICATION

This program is dedicated to the memory of Professor Kenneth Hale, the eminent linguist of MIT who died on October 8th 2001.

He spoke about 50 languages fluently and regarded each language as an intellectual treasure-house of communication, culture and humanitarian values.

He suggested ... that 30 minutes of a new language ... should be enough to start to make one-self understood ... and then ... the best way ... to progress ... was to speak ... confidently ... more and more ... with natural speakers of the language ...

So on we go ... for one whole day ... with a partner or small group ... speaking and speaking ... and moving ... face, hands and body language to reinforce your communication ... and ending with ... almost instinctive ... easy inter-active conversation ... in the natural language ... and if you are lucky enough to find ... ANY natural speaker for the day ... to be a partner ... or just part of the small group ... that would be just great ... so start chatting now ...!!

Thank you. efcHaristo ευχαριστώHallo Yia sass γειά σαςYes/no Ne/Ochi ναι / όχιExcusez moi Signomi συγγνώμηEverything is OK!

INSTANT RELAXATION TECHNIQUE1. This is a simple IRT exercise, to give you confidence to learn naturally. When you don't believe you can learn ... you won't learn! ... When you are tense, anxious and stressed ... you won't learn! When you have no confidence ... you won't learn. But with relaxation, your mind and body become clear, confident and ready to learn. So do the IRT exercise now ... and again before every CRE session. It takes only three minutes, and with practice, it becomes a powerful tool for you. The only "equipment" you need is an "open mind" and a marble (or similar small object) in your "right" (major) hand.

2. So, get into that comfortable position, in which you know ... you really can relax. Be aware that marble gets warm as it absorbs heat from contact with your right hand. Open you hand and allow the warmth to evaporate. Close the hand again, and recognize the marble ... as a physical external symbol ... of the internal function of your mind and body. Allow it to receive and evaporate not just heat ... but emotion, anxiety and stress ... leaving you free, relaxed, confident and ready to learn to speak and understand the natural language without effort .... 3. Now, relax with the hands on the lap, and fix your eyes UP INTO YOUR HEAD … breath slowly and deeply … four times … let the eyes close … and repeat aloud . the following sentence four times, feeling free to change the wording a little ... to fit your style ... four times ... aloud ... in all:

"I AM, I CAN, I WILL, I BELIEVE ... I WILL LEARN ... AND HELP OTHERS TO LEARN ... TO SPEAK AND ENJOY ... THE NEW NATURAL LANGUAGE ... WITH A BEAUTIFUL ACCENT ... NATURALLY ... RAPIDLY ... EASILY ... WITHOUT EFFORT"

4. With the eyes closed ... start to take three slow and very deep breaths ... and be sure to pause ... on each inhalation ... and imagine ... each exhalation ... as transferring all the anxiety and stress ... from your mind and body ... through to the marble in your hand.

5. After the third breath, let your whole mind and body relax completely for two minutes ... thinking ONLY of your NEWC LANGUAGE LEARNING and breathing ... nothing else ... no self talk at all ... just concentrate on the BREATHING ... very important … count down 20 to 1 …relaxed and feeling at peace with youirself … 6. Then bring yourself back, by simply counting up from 1 to 5, feeling well, relaxed, confident and ready to learn. The marble is now your very personal symbol of your confidence to learn and speak the natural language with a beautiful accent.

3

Note:

This simple CRE "Instant Relaxation Technique" can be used anywhere (eyes open or closed) to achieve a calm mind ... without anger, anxiety or stress ... ready and confident to learn .. or deal with any new problem ... that you have to face.

Keep the marble always to hand, as a symbol ... of your confidence ... to feel comfortable ... in the new natural language ... and to speak almost instinctively ... without stress or effort ...

NATURAL SUGGESTIONS

Plan to do the whole CRE in one 6 hour CRE day, with a partner or a small group. A natural speaker (if available) would be most welcome as a partner or group member.

On the day before, as pre-learning (alone), play the 30 minute tape, just before sleeping, speaking all the time, completely relaxed making no conscious effort to learn anything.

After the one full day of CRE, plan revision during your NORMAL ROUTINE in the following week, for just an hour a day.

Feel free to do it in any way ... that YOU know ... will suit YOU best ... and will allow you ... both to speak AND to understand ... what is spoken to you ... so relax completely ... and ABSORB ... both consciously and sub-consciously ... the very carefully selected ... 30 minute audio tape ... of new natural language ...

It becomes part of you ... intuitively ... instinctively ... without effort ... as you relax with IRT and establish a very POSITIVE attitude ... and a confident EXPECTATION of SUCCESS ... just from PLAYING ... with the natural language ...

Our suggested schedule for the 6 hour day follows.

6

A possible CRE routine for one day … with breaks (and Greek wine) … as needed, … could be …:

1 – Do IRT. Do the Throat exercise - 16 key words Play the tape (30 minutes) with the text (hear, see, speak, MOVE, and feel) Make it fun! Review the Glossary (2 pages).

2 – Repeat the text (Sections 2-4) to understand every word! Play the tape with the text SPEAKING VERY LOUDLY - STOP THE TAPE AND SING OR SHOUT ANY VERY DIFFICULT PHRASES. Do SPEED READING (2-16) in 14 minutes (recorded if possible- for fun!). Review the Grammar (1 page) and the Glossary.

3 – Repeat the text (Sections 5-10) to understand every word! Play the tape WITHOUT the text, SPEAKING IN VERY DRAMATIC style.

Repeat the Throat exercise. Begin to create simple conversation with the Mini-phrase book (Hello etc.).

4 – Repeat the text (Sections 11-16) to understand every word! Play the tape with the text, SPEAKING SOFTLY with a good accent.

Do SPEED READING (Sections 2-16) and Mini-phrase Book.

5 – Play the tape WITHOUT the text, speaking with three different voices - just for fun!. Create conversation with the Mini-phrase book.

Do SPEED READING (2-16).

6 - Play the tape SPEAKING with a beautiful CONFIDENT accent. Do the quiz (1 page). Create converation with mini phrase

book. Do SPEED READING (2-16) and Mini-phrase book 14 minutes. Do APS and plan for review next week, helping partners as needed.

7

NATURAL SUGGESTIONS (continued) Generally:

1. REINFORCE the learning in the CAR/TRUCK at any time … make it an amusing THEATRE of one … YOU!!! … by playing and acting out … ONLY Sections 2 - 16. DO NOT play the relaxation sections in the car ... skip them please! Play the Learning Reinforcement side of the tape as needed for encouragement, be sure to blame your strategy, and not yourself!!

2. RECOGNIZE that a TERRIBLE accent is PAINFUL … for the hearer … and so strive always for a beautiful accent in EVERY WORD.

3. Be POSITIVE and NEVER apologise for your language … you are making the effort to learn the LANGUAGE … and the HUMAN VALUES … an thus the CULTURE … of the people you speak with … and THEY will appreciate MORE than you can EVEN imagine!! If they reply to you in ENGLISH … then YOU just CONTINUE to speak in the NATURAL

new language … and they will too ...

4. LISTEN very carefully to what PEOPLE say to YOU … and BEFORE replying … REPEAT in YOUR MIND ... EXACTLY what they said … … this gives you excellent PRACTICE in recognising good STRUCTURE.

5. HESITATE before you SPEAK … and then speak FREELY and CONFIDENTLY … without long pauses and … WITHOUT … "Urrs and Umms" which are so ANNOYING and BORING … for the listener ...

6. When you do not know a necessary word … do NOT hesitate … simply USE the ENGLISH word … in the sentence … the hearer will almost certainly give you the translation … and you can repeat it … three times to get it right … without embarrassment. Use the LEARNING REINFORCMENT as needed but not in the car!

8

7. Use SIMPLE SHORT sentences and be CONFIDENT as you begin to talk to people ... expect SUCCESS ... and you will NOT be disappointed and try just one MORE new thing ... just for fun in this one week drink one litre of WATER EVERY DAY … it rinses mind and body and has a REMARKABLE preventive/curative therapeutic effect … to support new learning ... on we go together.

9

1. GENTLE RELAXATION ...And now … I'd like you to arrange yourself … in a position that is so comfortable ... and natural … for you ... so that you can sit … or lie … for a while ... easily and effortlessly ... and where you can be comforable ... and yet still remain alert enough ... to focus on the meaningful ... natural language learning ... that we will do together ... natural anguage ... gentle ... quiet ... peaceful ... and instinctive ... without any effort ... as you absorb its deepest meaning ... interpretation ... and value ... in terms of very personal expectations.

And then when your are ready … to focus yourself ... you can begin by taking a few deep relaxing breaths ... breathing slowly ... and feeling the rise of your chest ... as you gradually inhale ... feeling that each breath in ... and out ... relaxes you ... calms you ... and re-acqaints you ... with deeper parts of yourself that you are sometimes too busy to notice.

You know ... and I know ... its very easy ... to get caught up in day to day living ... there is so much to do ... and now is your time … and I would like you to allow your eyes to close ... as you start to build ... an internal focus ... within yourself ... on those parts of yourself... that will absorb the natural language ... gently ... peacefully … and instinctively ... almost automatically ... as you … let yourself go ... relax ... without conscious effort ... because you have nothing … to do … now … except relax ..

And as we go on together ... repeating the phrases ... in the natural language ... with your whole body involved ... moving hands and face … feelings and body … to express … and absorb the words and phrases ... as they will come … instinctively ... to your mind ... as you speak softly ... with a beautiful accent ... yes … with a beautiful accent … which will please and surprise you... as its fits the music ... of the natural language

So on we go together ... speaking all the time ... and moving hands, face feelings and body … to express ourselves ... in the new natural language ... as you create new wave patterns … in that special… "English Place" … in your mind …

2. HERE AND THERE:(Complete and discuss with a natural speaker …and learn the script without effort …)

APS - LEARNING REINFORCEMENTAUTONOMIC PLAYBACK SYSTEM

1. Make a special 30 minute APS audio tape recording of all the material that you want to absorb into your long term memory, as follows:

a. Speak with gentle persuasive tone. This encourages perception and retention without effort.

b. Speak only for about 8 seconds ... pause for about 4 seconds .... continue for about 8 seconds ... pause 4 seconds etc. This gives your mind time to absorb easily without stress,

c. Add seven key learning points which were important to you! Thus provides "associations" in your mind for the new learning. 2. The NEXT DAY, relax and playback the tape (using ear phones) while watching some interesting TV show WITHOUT audio e.g. a football match or other a sports event or a cartoon. Make NO EFFORT to listen to the tape. In fact, TELL yourself NOT to listen, but just to relax and gently give all attention to the TV show. Relax and let your mind absorb the data WITHOUT ANY CONSCIOUS EFFORT at all.

3. Play this once more.

4. Finally on the FOLLOWING DAY, do IRT (relax), and playback the tape (with ear phones) while gently viewing and repeating the text material (hear, see, say and feel).

5. Adapt APS to your special needs and personality. Use it for any new material that you want to absorb without stress or effort. And please remember to email feedback and new creative ideas to our Team at: robertboland@wanadoo.fr. So from now on - relax and remember!!
