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 ευχαριστώ

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.
7
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.

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.
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 …

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:
[email protected]. So from now on - relax and remember!!
