 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

 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):

you remember it better later@
i use this advice when i learned html for websites and it serves true for learning a

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

the things you don't know in the language are the things you need to learn

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!

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
