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 ...!!

LEARN TO USE THE TWO MINUTE GEMINI ROUTINE
AND BE IN CONTROL OF MIND AND BODY FOR LEARNING WITHOUT EFFORT

This is a simple two minutes GEMINI exercise, to give you the confidence to learn the new language … naturally … as you did … so well … when you were a very small child!!

When you tell yourself … youcannot learn … you won’t learn!

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 can become clear, confident and ready to learn.

So do GEMINI now ... and again before every CRE session.

It takes only two minutes, and withpractice, it becomes a powerful instinctive learning resource for you.

The two minute GEMINI begins as follows:

a. Tell yourself that you are going to do your GEMINI routine. Make yourself comfortable. Begin to relax and breathe deeply … as you do these three things 1, 2, 3 as follows:

One - With head steady, roll up the eyes to the eyebrows.
Hold it … for20...
