Why did you decide to create the “Master A Foreign Language” hypnosis recording?

I decided to create the “Master a Foreign Language” because I received a lot of emails requesting it! People told me about how they were trying to learn a new language and they wanted a hypnosis program that would help them achieve it.

I’m learning as many languages as possible in just 1 year. How can your “Master A Foreign Language” recording help me?

The program “Master A Foreign Language” will help open your mind to learning new words and phrases and give you the ability to put them all together in order to learn one new language or several. Hypnosis is powerful and this recording specifically allows you to absorb as much information as possible. Learning another language involves a lot of material and practice. This program allows you to concentrate on the material and learn at an accelerated pace.

Should you listen to “Master A Foreign Language” each day before you start your languages studies, should you listen to it once you’ve finished your languages studies for the day or can you listen to it at any time?

The recording should be listened to at night for 21 nights before going to bed. At the end of the recording, you will hear suggestions to relax and fall asleep. The program is meant to be used in conjunction with learning a language.

I notice there are Gold and Platinum editions of “Master A Foreign Language. Could you briefly (as more detailed info is available on your website) explain the difference between the two?

The “Master A Foreign Language” gold recording is 30 minutes long meant for people who want a powerful program but in less time. The “Master A Foreign Language” platinum recording is 60 minutes long. The part that focuses on mastering a foreign language is longer and more powerful. The platinum series also includes the top sound engineering techniques available to relax the listener.

Finally, my challenge is to learn as many languages as possible in just 1 year in order to encourage people to pluck up the courage and learn a language. I need to be less self conscious about making mistakes, I need more confidence and I need to make sure my attitude towards my studies remains positive. Do you have any advice that could help me with those issues and my challenge?

Absolutely! Confidence is an issue at the core of so many things, including learning a language. Learning several foreign languages takes motivation, confidence, and a positive attitude. The program targets these issues so that you continue to learn and concentrate on each language. Since you are trying to learn many languages in one year, I encourage you to continue to listen to the recording as needed beyond the suggested 21 nights. Learning a new language improves your memory and is a very important skill to have in our constantly expanding global community.

How NOT to speak Italian



How NOT to speak Italian: If you’re worried about making a mistake while speaking a foreign language, don’t fret. You can’t do any worse than Homer Simpson’s very own heir apparent, Peter Griffin from Family Guy.

NOTE: Family Guy is a cartoon show with adult humour.

Learn Italian

A great video from The Travel Linguist giving you some basic Italian phrases.

Improve Your English

IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH

Whilst I’m off on the JOIN MARTIN CHALLENGE and learning many new languages from around the world, I haven’t forgotten that many of you are or would like to learn English. Perhaps you’ve moved to the UK for work or are coming to the country I call home for a holiday. And no, before you ask, we don’t all speak as if we have plums in our mouths. In this instance, do not believe American TV shows. British people have many different languages (English, Welsh, Gaelic, Scots Gaelic, Cornish etc) and dialects. The UK is a melting pot of cultures and languages and, everytime I look at the flag of my country, I am reminded and made proud once again that both my grandfathers and other members of my family stood with other brave men and women from many different countries to stand in the way of the Nazis and protect the freedoms I enjoy in this country and so often take foregranted.

Yes, it rains a lot in my country but it’s a great place to visit and all are welcome.

I finally have my DS console and this is a personal recommendation (I’ve played the game). My Word Coach is a great game for those who have a basic understanding of English but want to improve their vocabulary. I’m fluent and I didn’t know some of the words. Give it a try.


How's Your Maths?





HOW'S YOUR MATHS?

JOIN MARTIN is a great success and has helped to encourage people in 3 countries to learn a language. Details are sketchy at present as the JOIN MARTIN languages challenge is still on going and will be until 2009. That is the main focus and will remain so until the end of the JOIN MARTIN CHALLENGE.

But a decision has been made to take the “JOIN MARTIN” idea forward and to apply it to other subjects. New challenges are coming in the future and, hopefully, JOIN MARTIN will help make learning fun and a positive experience for everyone. Some people are good at some things whilst others are good at other things but, with a bit of self confidence and the courage to “have a go”, anyone and everyone can achieve at anything.

Basic Irish




BASIC IRISH

BASIC IRISH: Here’s a video from Youtube which shows you how to say a few words and phrases in Irish. The video is from Youtube.com and was created by/is copyrighted by the wonderful (and, in my opinion, stunning), Jessica. I’ve really learned a lot from her videos.
