I remember my first time . . . being absorbed into a story about something that intrigued me enormously, even though the actual topic is irrelevant at the moment because it started quite innocently as I first read with deep curiosity and anticipation, even during the opening paragraphs of what I was reading, while I was more and more consumed into what it was I hadn't yet known, and wanted to because the story wasn't just about the story as much as it was about desire: wanting to draw me into an experience in my mind that was as real as could be inside in such a way that whatever was on the outside didn't matter as much anymore and perhaps even at all because my attention focused inside on the experience that was unfolding Owen Fitzpatrick Experiencing stories so vividly, like the ones told by great story tellers, the ones that spark every sensory receptor triggering connections in each cortex, from clean bright images to crystal clear sounds, tingling sensations from the surface of your skin to the deepest fiber of your bones, is what creates ideas so profound that they blur the differences between what is reality and what is hallucination, and since it can be very difficult to distinguish these difference means you can build realities around how well you can conversationally and naturally weave the fabric that will be present inside your mind with any subject you want and propagate that to others John La Valle Subject: MÉTODO BARNES He says: I am a professor and I am looking for a method as I am decided that I will open a good English school in the axis Goiânia-Anápolis-Brasilia (those are Brazilian cities in the middle of Brazil) I got your contact through the internet and the indication of your phone many times linked to the Method Barnes. I would like to know the methodology and resources applied as well as the possibility of applying the method to a conventional school. ----------------------I asked him at the answer to contact you. I said we did a partnership in translation that is why my name is there and that you are the creator of the method Good luck Best, Gil Subject: Re: MÉTODO BARNES Gilseane Stefani, Sou professor universitário e procuro o método porque estou decido a abrir uma boa escola de inglês no eixo Goiânia-Anápolis-Brasília. Consegui o seu contato na internet, inclusive com a indicação de um número de telefone (07951048218), várias vezes vinculado do Métdo Barnes. Gostaria de conhecer a metodologia e os recursos empregados bem como a possibilidade de aplicação do método numa escola convecional. Se puder me ajudar, fico grato. Jorge Bezerra - Goiânia / GO

Adjustments Languages such as Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are very similar to English and to each other. Yes, yes your country is wonderful and your coffee is great, relax now. With Portuguese you can change many of your words slightly (adjust them) and they become English words. In fact you don't even have to change your pronunciation. The meaning of communication is the response you get. If people understand you then you are correct. If you want an English accent then get it later, maybe a day later if you want to. The main point of this is many Portuguese words have an extra Syllable. For example Ter-mo (Termo) in Portuguese is 2 syllables and Term in English is 1 syllable. Just by pronouncing 1 syllable less, you have the English word. No translation required. Even with an accent English people will still understand you, so learn it Pronunciation Adjustments: U is pronounced as You in English, U = You, Here's a list, feel free to add to it (use the back of the paper): Portuguese

Learn to Read a Language in 1 Month after you know the cognates well (written many examples, tested yourself, you notice them everytime you see/hear your target language) then you can start learning to read I think this is the best 1st step because >you can access reading materials online, international newspapers easier than native speakers usually >when you can read, you can imagine the words you hear >after you learn to read, you can learn to write just via practising/doing it >you can attach the pronunciation as the 2nd step to the words you already know (sequence is significant) Copyright © Perry Barnes 08/30/07 All Rights Reserved in All Media

1. find a book you have already read in your native language 2. read the book, highlight the cognates and words you already know 3. then study the verbs tools Like BYKI (before you know it = learn quickly) www.byki.com/listcentral.html http://www.wiegehtsgerman.com/ Other Language Web Apps Learn Spanish by Qué Onda Learn French by Très Bien Learn Italian by Molto Bene Learn Portuguese by Tudo Bem Learn Hebrew by Ma Kore Learn Arabic by Salaam Learn German by Wie Geht's byki and these programs are amazing, they teach you until you remember, with byki you can slow the voices to help you learn pronunciation, you can save your progress they are the best ways to learn the verbs learn the verbs, then after continue reading your book you'll suddenly see the verbs, and you've learned one of the most important parts of the language as you are learning you should use something Like the 80/20 Rule = 20% of your efforts produce 80% of your results so as you read your book for 1 month, adjust what you learning on the side 1st learn cognates (this gives you up to 20% of the language) 2nd learn verbs (the next 20%) Copyright © Perry Barnes 08/30/07 All Rights Reserved in All Media

3rd learn the 100 most common words of your language (easy to find with www.google.com) 4th study the most common word of the page (which word are you seeing 2 or 3 times each page, that's the one to study now) 4. the next key to the holy language learning process is the barnes method memorization technique generally, you need to read/hear/see/use something 4 times to remember something 1st time: practise immediately 2nd time: revise/use/hear it after 1 hour 3rd time: revise/use/hear it after 1 day 4th time: revise/use/hear it after 7 days if you do this then you'll learn/remember it, we all have a good memory, you just need to hear/use things 4 times you are reading your book everyday for 1 month, so you learn the words, then the next day you see them and remember them, so reading the book everyday for 1 month will activate the memory system automatically then, read the book again after you've read it all i've done this process with 4 or 5 languages, and it works everytime sometimes I meet successful language learners and find they have done something Like this for example, someone that reads newspapers everyday in their language, they read the newspaper everyday in their new language and their vocabulary is excellent or they love a certain film series in their language (harry Copyright ÂŠ Perry Barnes 08/30/07 All Rights Reserved in All Media

Methods to Help You Learn the Similar Words a good teacher once said to me how she learned computer programming @always write the code manually instead of copying and pasting because then you remember it better later@ i use this advice when i learned html for websites and it serves true for learning a language too i recommend to write 3 examples of each similar word pattern (cognate) you learn, the diagram later is this book shows that you learn 70% or more when you do things for real rather than thinking about the knowledge occasionally you may find you need a reason + the practise in this situation you can invent a reason from studying the patterns (you find a similarity) or find a grammar explanation or ask an english teacher barnes method english @ examples method can help more with this

Germanic and Slavic Cognates germanic languages (german/dutch etc) and slavic languages (albanian/polish and others) have cognates similar to those already listed. Why ? Because of latin probably, because most of the world knows english to some extent, because languages affect each other. For example american english has some pronunciation/spelling in common with south american spanish (location), and british english has more french words (britain is next to france, go figure). Note : if the word isn't included in the list 1. it may still exist, check another dictionary/translator 2. it may be the same in another language of the language group, check germanic languages for german/dutch words for example English

notes regaring language swaps i've found language swaps are not very useful, 1 in 5 of them you'll find an excellent teacher and even then you're spending 50% of the time on your target language if you speak your target language for 3 or more hours you'll start thinking in that language Copyright © Perry Barnes 08/30/07 All Rights Reserved in All Media

although, i've found language swaps are excellent in 1 way pronunciation read a document or book outloud and your partner corrects you its likely the most effective way to learn pronunciation you don't need a qualified teacher to do either

Hello guys! My name's Gustavo, aka "Guto", I'm 22 going on 23 and Brazilian. To begin with, I think English is the most important language to learn at this moment, especially in the context of globalization. I wonder, what's the most important English skill? What skill must you have to communicate well? I'd say it's fluency! What's fluency? Fluency is the ability to speak and understand a language quickly and easily, without translation. Fluency means you can talk easily with native speakers and that is our main goal here. I'm beginner like most of you and I'm here to exchange some experiences. Luis is an excellent teacher, he's brilliant! I really like his method and his books. So, to have a good teacher like him is a good start. I'm so proud to be one of his students! I think to be a fantastic English speaker, you must learn English with your ears, not just with your eyes, it's an ideology of a North American teacher. In other words, your ears are the key. The best listening must be understandable and repetitive, both of those words are important. You must hear a new word and new grammar many times before you'll understand them instantly. Increase your learning time and also your listening time. Use iPod or MP3 player. Listen to movies. Guys, that way you'll learn English faster! Another great idea is to read a good English dictionary that brings some slangs and most used expressions by natives and then your speech will sound like theirs. I do that and it really works! Copyright © Perry Barnes 08/30/07 All Rights Reserved in All Media

Read them, make phrases, practise more and more. Your English will come along like mine. You have tried the old ways, now it's time to try something new! Good luck! I wish you success with your English learning! 'Til next time! Gustavo

reading one of benny's posts, and i've found with that language (spanish) its the best way for me to learn more, thanks benny =) one of his recent facebook posts... Fluent in 3 months Reminder in case you haven't come across it yet! http://www.memrise.com/ Memrise has a nice set of pre-made memory techniques for basic (and sometimes advanced) vocabulary for many languages, and a great tool to learn to read characters in Chinese/Japanese too. I've used it a little for a couple of languages now and love it's mini stories. Several suggestions are given, and you can pick the one you like best to use in future.

Learn to Listen to a Language in 2 months the most effective way i've found to learn listening is with slow audio 1. read the text, find new words 2. read and listen together 3. listen to the audio later that day or after 1 day 4. increase the speed of the audio (most media players have a speed setting, change 1.0x to 1.5x for example) 5. do this for about 2 months and you'll have 80% listening fortunately there is an amazing service for french http://newsinslowfrench.com spanish http://www.newsinslowspanish.com/ haven't used this yet, I assume its good www.newsinslowenglish.com/ newsinslowgerman Copyright © Perry Barnes 08/30/07 All Rights Reserved in All Media
