Story
Language learning is seen as something incredibly difficult, and most speakers of English are brought up with the idea that we English speakers just aren't good at learning languages. But what if this isn't the true story? What if you could easily learn a new language and have fun doing it? In this book, I pull back the curtain to reveal the mindset and methodology of a polyglot. This book will dispel the myths, lay the foundations of the correct mindset for success, and inspire you to commit to learning that language you've always wanted to master.

If you choose to use one or more of these scripts to facilitate a guided meditation journey for others, please preface the trip for them by reminding them that no longer all people "see" matters for the duration of a guided meditation. This is very important, because our purpose is for them to go a bit closer to their soul during the journey, not to supply them one more cause to consider they've failed.
