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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!
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.

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

17. CLOSING
Now of all the things your mind has been playing with to create new wave
patterns in the natural language from here and there liking doing can
understanding wanting getting having ordering greeting describing
knowing numbering asking and everything I wonder which things ... you
will bring back to stay deep within you so easily available ... to you as needs
arise without conscious effort because you will believe you can do it

Just naturally ... in your own way as part of you ... instinctively ... as that new
part of you ... grows ... stronger and stronger ... you will begin to speak with a
beautiful accent so easily ... reinforcing your learnimg ... with a gentle quiet
confidence ... which will surprise you ... and such a beautiful accent ... of which
you will be proud ... to fit the music of the natural language ... will surpise you
even more ... and more as you repeat the CRE so that in every day in
every way you believe you will get better and better

And now as you choose ... to believe you can do something ... that makes you feel
so comfortable with yourself ... something you will feel more and more able to
do ... so that you feel ... even more comfortable ... and confident ... naturally
in your own way you can take whatever time you need ... just to process your
thoughts ... in your own special way ... and to bring this experience to a
comfortable close ...

30

You will feel well ... and you will begin to feel confidenct ... about the
future ... and about making progress ... in the natural language ... in your own
natural way ... and you will find such joy in speaking so gently with growing
confidence ... and experience ... which will add a new exciting quality to your
life ... because ... with every new language you learn ... you do add a new quality
to your life ... in that special "Greek Place" in your mind

And when you feel ... you are ready ... and you want to ... you can start the
process of reorienting yourself ... bringing yourself back ... taking your time ...
and when you are ready ... you can fully orient yourself ... and allow your eyes to
open ... feeling well ...and happy ... because ... and you will begin to experience
confidence more and more because from now in every day in every way
you will be getting better and better

And as we end of each CRE session 30 minutes has just flashed by to be

repeated and enjoyed many times relaxed calm and confident of
achieving a beautiful accent that becomes natural for you with learning that is
efficient and effective so from now on be positive and with a positive
expectation of success surprise yourself as you feel the contining support of
our Team which all began in Bayonne, France on August 15, 2001 ... and of
course as with all things we believe can do together God Bless

APS - LEARNING REINFORCEMENT

AUTONOMIC 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!!
