Most of us don’t remember what it was like to learn the language that we speak. We were babies. But we do remember trying to teach our baby or someone else’s to say “daddy”, “mama” or some other word. It takes a baby a lot of time, effort, persistence to learn those words. But with those words and a few others … communication starts.
Communication opens up a whole new world. As we communicate we start to understand other people, places, and cultures. Communication is magic. Magic because it changes us. We now see things differently than when we didn’t understand.
The world is shrinking. Each day we are touched by other people. They speak Spanish, Russian, French, Polish or one of many other languages.
Question: Are you ready to experience some magic in your life?
The Magic Formula
1. Pick a language … any language that you have dreamed about learning … someday
2. Pick a method … Linguaphone, Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, a personal tutor, in a format of cassettes, CDs, software …
3. Start today
4. Have fun with it … but be persistent & consistent
With all of the technology that we have today you can learn a language while walking, jogging, exercising at the gym, driving your car, sitting at your computer, traveling by plane or climbing a mountain. Take your pick.
You can be saying simple phrases today by listening and responding to native speakers. The most important thing is to get started now. In a matter of days you can learn enough to get yourself around Mexico, France, China, Russia, or Brazil.
A new language will open up New Vistas and a New World for you in travel, in business, and in your very own neighborhood as you learn to communicate with new people.
Just as you started as a baby … you can learn to say “hello”, “goodbye”, “where’s the bathroom”, or continue on until you can talk fluently. It is all up to you. Just get started today.

Learn Spanish - Where Do I Find Time: http://www.speakalanguage.com/speakalanguage/learnspanish/where-do-I-find-time.exe
Multitasking is a buzz word for today’s world. If you have the time it is nice to be able to do one thing at a time. But when we work, have a family, friends, church, civic groups, children, grandchildren and on and on and on, just where do we find the time to learn a language?
Mothers are always doing two things at once. They fix hair, give baths, do homework, fix meals, clean, and wash clothes, all at the same time.
My experience has been the same … you learn a language while you are doing something else. It is the concept of synergy … or the principle of 1 + 1 = 8.
I listen and interact with my Linguaphone PDQ Spanish Course or Pimsleur Comprehensive Spanish Course while I am driving into the city or to the doctor’s office. I listen while I am out walking and at the same time, looking at the autumn leaves or flowers. I listen while hiking in the mountains. I listen while I am at the gym on the treadmill or lifting weights. I listen while I am riding my bike.
The key is to do two things at once. You use the time that you have to do something, like driving someplace, or exercising and also doing something that you want to do in this same time period. So instead of sitting down and using a half hour listening and interacting with a language course, you use a half hour driving and use that same half hour listening to your course. Now figure that out. In one 30 minute period you are driving, plus you are listening for 30 minutes. So instead of adding up to 30 minutes, it adds up to 30 minutes of driving and 30 minutes of listening. That one 30 minute period now is equal to 30 + 30 = 60. You have doubled your time’s value. Not bad!
Now think of the things you can do this with. While waiting at the doctors office to get in for your appointment or while driving, biking, walking, hiking, boating, and flying. You get the point. Figure out all of the times in your life that you can do this and in the time that you drive to work an hour or |
