 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 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!!

 INSTANT RELAXATION TECHNIQUE
1. 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 on the marble as you
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 fixed on the marble ... or closed if you wish ... 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 breathing ... nothing else ... no self talk at
all ... just concentrate on the BREATHING ... very important, counting down from
20 to 1

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.
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 ... which 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 CRE day (with breaks as needed) is:

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.
Plan for individual review next week, helping partners as needed.

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
REINFORCEMENT as needed but not in the car!

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.

!6
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 (no English please) ... as you create new wave patterns … in
that special… "Tajik Place" … in your mind … on we go … together ...

Opportunity: for managers and staff members on short or long missions to other countries
to feel more secure, comfortable and effective in achieving better working relationships in
English, with local companies, governments, refugees, client and project staff, as they
perceive the effort to speak the local language with a good accent, and thus to show
clearly a deep respect for local values and culture.

some UN staff, for aid workers in Afghanistan, and now available in: Dari, Pashto, Uzbek,
Tajik, Turkmen, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Urdu, Finnish,

process: Cantonese, Zulu, Tswana, Sutu, Swedish, Nepali, Italian, Swahili, Basque, etc.

Designed for: mature motivated learners who need to achieve very rapidly, the personal
confidence to speak and understand, basics of the local natural language. Designed also also
for current speakers to who want to achieve significant accent improvement.

Course duration: one full six hour day with a partner or small group, followed by daily brief
individual revision, in the following week and one day reinforcement a month later.
