 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.

7He 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 ...

Thank you. Tashakor

 1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 STRUCTURE

This program gives you practice in understanding the structure of the

language almost instinctively, as for each difficult phrase, English words are
inserted. There is also a Mini Phrase-book, a Brief Note on Grammar and a
list of the 100 "most used" words in conversation.

1.2 MEMORY

A simple technique for the memory of difficult sounds is to make up a

ridiculous English phrase as a memory "trigger", for example:

Yes ... ba-le ... say ...

... yes ... barley is always good in beer ... ba-le

Goodbye ... khoda-hafez ... say ...

... goodbye ... cool days always have fairs .... khoda hafez

I want ...me-kho-ham ... say ...

... I like ... may the coal hum ... me-kho-ham...

1.3 PRACTICE.

Learn very rapidly the list of "most used 100 words" and each day, take one
page of the mini-phrase-book, to make 10 minutes of Farsi conversation with
a natural speaker or aloud with yourself. Then make a friend of a Farsi
Phrasebook.

 INSTANT RELAXATION TECHNIQUE
1. This is a simple IRT exercise, to give you confidence to learn naturally. 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 become clear, confident and
ready to learn. So do the IRT exercise now ... and again before every CRE
session. It takes only three minutes, and with practice, it becomes a powerful tool
for you. The only "equipment" you need is an "open mind" and a marble (or similar
small object) in your "right" (major) hand.

2. So, get into that comfortable position, in which you know ... you really can
relax. Be aware that marble gets warm as it absorbs heat from contact with your
right hand. Open you hand and allow the warmth to evaporate. Close the hand
again, and recognize the marble ... as a physical external symbol ... of the
internal function of your mind and body. Allow it to receive and evaporate not just
heat ... but emotion, anxiety and stress ... leaving you free, relaxed, confident
and ready to learn to speak and understand the natural language without
effort ....

3. Now, relax with the hands on the lap, and fix your eyes on the marble as you
repeat aloud ... the following sentence ... four times, feeling free to change the
wording a little ... to fit your style ... four times ... aloud ... in all:
"I AM, I CAN, I WILL, I BELIEVE ... I WILL LEARN ... AND HELP
OTHERS TO LEARN ... TO SPEAK AND ENJOY ... THE NEW NATURAL
LANGUAGE ... WITH A BEAUTIFUL ACCENT ... NATURALLY ... RAPIDLY ...
EASILY ... WITHOUT EFFORT"
4. With the eyes fixed on the marble ... or closed if you wish ... start to take
three slow and very deep breaths ... and be sure to pause ... on each
inhalation ... and imagine ... each exalation ... as transferring all the anxiety and
stress ... from your mind and body ... through to the marble in your hand.
5. After the third breath, let your whole mind and body relax completely for two
minutes ... thinking ONLY of your breathing ... nothing else ... no self talk at
all ... just concentrate on the BREATHING ... very important, counting down from
20 to 1
6. Then bring yourself back, by simply counting up from 1 to 5, feeling well,
relaxed, confident and ready to learn. The marble is now your very personal symbol
... of your confidence to learn and speak the natural language with a beautiful
accent.

Note: This simple CRE "Instant Relaxation Technique" can be used anywhere (eyes open or
closed) to achieve a calm mind ... without anger, anxiety or stress ... ready and confident to
learn .. or deal with any new problem ... that you have to face. Keep the marble always to
hand, as a symbol ... of your confidence ... to feel comfortable ... in the new natural
language ... and to speak almost instinctively ... without stress or effort ...

 NATURAL SUGGESTIONS

Plan to do the whole CRE in one 6-hour CRE day, with a partner or a small group.
A natural speaker (if available) would be most welcome as a partner or group
member. On the day before, as pre-learning (alone), play the 30 minute tape, just
before sleeping, speaking all the time, completely relaxed making no conscious
effort to learn anything.

After the one full day of CRE, plan revision during your NORMAL ROUTINE in the
following week, for just an hour a day. Feel free to do it in any way ... that YOU
know ... will suit YOU best ... and will allow you ... both to speak AND to
understand ... what is spoken to you ... so relax completely ... and ABSORB ...
both consciously and sub-consciously ... the very carefully selected ... 30-minute
audio tape ... of new natural language ... which becomes part of you ...
intuitively ... instinctively ... without effort ... as you relax with IRT and
establish a very POSITIVE attitude ... and a confident EXPECTATION of
SUCCESS ... just from PLAYING ... with the natural language ...

Our suggested schedule for the 6-hour CRE day (with breaks as needed) is:

1 – Do IRT. Do the Throat exercise - 16 key words

Play the tape (30 minutes) with the text (hear, see, speak, MOVE, and feel)
make it fun! Review the Glossary (2 pages).

2 – Repeat the text (Sections 2-4) to understand every word!

Play the tape with the text SPEAKING VERY LOUDLY - STOP THE TAPE
AND SING OR SHOUT ANY VERY DIFFICULT PHRASES.
Do SPEED READING (2-16) in 14 minutes (recorded if possible- for fun!).
Review the Grammar (1 page) and the Glossary.

3 – Repeat the text (Sections 5-10) to understand every word!

Play the tape WITHOUT the text, SPEAKING IN VERY DRAMATIC style.
Repeat the Throat exercise.
Begin to create simple conversation with the Mini-phrase book (Hello etc.).

4 – Repeat the text (Sections 11-16) to understand every word!

Play the tape with the text, SPEAKING SOFTLY with a good accent.
Do SPEED READING (Sections 2-16) and Mini-phrase Book.

5 – Play the tape WITHOUT the text, speaking with three different
!6
 voices - just for fun!. Create conversation with the Mini-phrase book.
Do SPEED READING (2-16).

6 - Play the tape SPEAKING with a beautiful CONFIDENT accent.

Do the quiz (1 page). Create converation with mini phrase book.
Do SPEED READING (2-16) and Mini-phrase book 14 minutes.
Do APS and plan for review next week, helping partners as needed.

Generally:

1. REINFORCE the learning in the CAR/TRUCK at any time … make it an amusing

THEATRE of one … YOU!!! … by playing and acting out … ONLY Sections 2 - 16.
DO NOT play the relaxation sections in the car ... skip them please! Play the
Learning Reinforcement side of the tape as needed for encouragement, be sure to
blame your strategy, and not yourself!!

2. RECOGNIZE that a TERRIBLE accent is PAINFUL … for the hearer … and so

strive always for a beautiful accent in EVERY WORD.

3. Be POSITIVE and NEVER apologise for your language … you are making the
effort to learn the LANGUAGE … and the HUMAN VALUES … an thus the
CULTURE … of the people you speak with … and THEY will appreciate MORE than
you can EVEN imagine!! If they reply to you in ENGLISH … then YOU just
CONTINUE to speak in the NATURAL new language … and they will too ...

4. LISTEN very carefully to what PEOPLE say to YOU … and BEFORE replying …
REPEAT in YOUR MIND ... EXACTLY what they said … … this gives you excellent
PRACTICE in recognising good STRUCTURE.

5. HESITATE before you SPEAK … and then speak FREELY and CONFIDENTLY …
without long pauses and … WITHOUT … "Urrs and Umms" which are so ANNOYING
and BORING … for the listener ...

6. When you do not know a necessary word … do NOT hesitate … simply USE the
ENGLISH word … in the sentence … the hearer will almost certainly give you the
translation … and you can repeat it … three times to get it right … without
embarrassment. Use the LEARNING REINFORCMENT as needed but not in the
car!

7. Use SIMPLE SHORT sentences and be CONFIDENT as you begin to talk to

people ... expect SUCCESS ... and you will NOT be disappointed ... and try just
one MORE new thing ... just for fun in this one week ... drink one litre of
WATER EVERY DAY … it rinses mind and body and has a REMARKABLE preventive/
curative therapeutic effect … to support new learning ... on we go together.

!7
1. GENTLE RELAXATION ...
And now … I'd like you to arrange yourself … in a position that is so
comfortable ... and natural … for you ... so that you can sit … or lie
… for a while ... easily and effortlessly ... and where you can be
comfortable ... and yet still remain alert enough ... to focus on the
meaningful ... natural language learning ... that we will do together ...
natural language ... gentle ... quiet ... peaceful ... and instinctive ...
without any effort ... as you absorb its deepest meaning ...
interpretation ... and value ... in terms of very personal expectations.

And then when your are ready … to focus yourself ... you can begin by
taking a few deep relaxing breaths ... breathing slowly ... and feeling
the rise of your chest ... as you gradually inhale ... feeling that each
breath in ... and out ... relaxes you ... calms you ... and re-acqaints
you ... with deeper parts of yourself that you are sometimes too busy
to notice.

You know ... and I know ... its very easy ... to get caught up in day
to day living ... there is so much to do ... and now is your time … and
I would like you to allow your eyes to close ... as you start to build ...
an internal focus ... within yourself ... on those parts of yourself...
that will absorb the natural language ... gently ... peacefully … and
instinctively ... almost automatically ... as you … let yourself go ...
relax ... without conscious effort ... because you have nothing … to
do … now … except relax ..

And as we go on together ... repeating the phrases ... in the natural

language ... with your whole body involved ... moving hands and face …
feelings and body … to express … and absorb the words and phrases ...
as they will come … instinctively ... to your mind ... as you speak
softly ... with a beautiful accent ... yes … with a beautiful accent …
which will please and surprise you... as its fits the music ... of the
natural language

So on we go together ... speaking all the time ... and moving hands,
face feelings and body … to express ourselves ... in the new natural
language ... as you create new wave patterns … in that special… "Farsi
Place" … in your mind …

 17. CLOSING

Now of all the things … your mind … has been playing with … to create new … wave
patterns … in the natural language … from … here and there … liking … doing … can
… understanding … wanting … getting … having … ordering… greeting … describing …
knowing … numbering … asking … and … everything … I wonder which things ... you
will bring back … to stay deep within you … so easily available ... to you … as needs
arise … without conscious effort … because … you will believe … you can do it …

Just naturally ... in your own way … as part of you ... instinctively ... as that new
part of you ... grows ... stronger and stronger ... you will begin to speak with a
beautiful accent … so easily ... reinforcing your learning ... with a gentle quiet
confidence ... which will surprise you ... and such a beautiful accent ... of which
you will be proud ... to fit the music of the natural language ... will surprise you
even more ... and more … as you repeat the CRE … so that … in every day … in
every way … you believe … you will … get … better and better …

And now as you choose ... to believe you can do something ... that makes you feel
so comfortable with yourself ... something you will feel more and more … able to
do ... so that you feel ... even more comfortable ... and confident ... naturally …
in your own way … you can take whatever time you need ... just to process your
thoughts ... in your own special way ... and to bring this experience to a
comfortable close ...

You will feel well ... and you will begin … to feel confident ... about the future ...
and about making progress ... in the natural language ... in your own natural
way ... and you will find such joy … in speaking so gently … with growing confidence
... and experience ... which will add … a new exciting quality to your life ...
because ... with every new language you learn ... you do add a new quality to your
life ... in that special "Hebrew Place" … in your mind …

And when you feel ... you are ready ... and you want to ... you can start the
process of reorienting yourself ... bringing yourself back ... taking your time ...
and when you are ready ... you can fully orient yourself ... and allow your eyes to
open ... feeling well ...and happy ... because ... and you will begin to experience
confidence … more and more … because … from now … in every day … in every way
… you will … be getting … better and better …

And as we reach the end of each CRE session … 30 minutes has just flashed by …
to be repeated … and enjoyed … many times … relaxed … calm and confident … of
achieving a beautiful accent … that becomes natural for you … with learning that is
efficient and effective … so from now on … be positive … and with a positive
expectation of success … surprise yourself … as you feel the contining support … of
our Team … which all began in Bayonne, France on August 15, 2001 ... and of
course … as with all things … we believe can do … together … God Bless …

ROCHURE
CRE - CREATIVE RELAXATION EXERCISE
THE NATURAL WAY TO PLAY WITH LANGUAGE AND A BEAUTIFUL ACCENT
WITH A 30 MINUTE AUDIO TAPE IN ONE DAY

KEY CONCEPT: "WHEN you create new POSITIVE wave patterns in YOUR mind
they give you the CONFIDENCE to RELAX and LEARN naturally without EFFORT"

Opportunity: for managers and staff on short or long missions to other countries to feel
more secure, comfortable and effective in achieving better working relationships in English,
with local companies, governments, refugees, clients and project staff. The effort to
speak the local language with a good accent will be much appreciated, as it shows clearly a
deep respect for local values and culture.

some UN staff, for aid workers in Afghanistan, and now available in: Spoken Dari,
Pashto, Uzbek, Tajik, Turkmen, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi,
Urdu, Finnish, Arabic, Indonesian, Malay, Wolof, Shona, Russian, Mandarin, Xhosa,
Burmese, Swedish, Tswana and others in process: Cantonese, Zulu, Sutu, Nepali, Italian,
Swahili, Basque etc.

Designed for: mature motivated learners who need to achieve very rapidly, the personal
confidence to speak and understand, basics of the local natural language. Designed also for
current speakers to who want to achieve significant accent improvement.

Course duration: one full six-hour day with a partner or small group, followed by daily
brief individual revision, in the following week and one day reinforcement a month later.

Application: individual training or as a small part of any management training program to

stimulate creativity, because: "Each language is an intellectual treasure-house of
communication, culture and humanitarian values" - Professor Kenneth Hale - linguistics

Method: uses CRE techniques to achieve relaxation and intuitive absorption of the natural
language with confidence and without stress or effort. Designed to handle varying
individual value systems and needs. CRE techniques, once acquired, can be easily used for
any other languages or dialects. Uses IRT - the Instant Relaxation Technique create the

 APS - LEARNING REINFORCEMENT
AUTONOMIC PLAYBACK SYSTEM

1. Make a special 30 minute APS audio tape recording of all the

material that you want to absorb into your long term memory, as
follows:

a. Speak with gentle persuasive tone. This encourages perception

and retention without effort.

b. Speak only for about 8 seconds ... pause for about 4 seconds ....
continue for about 8 seconds ... pause 4 seconds etc. This gives
your mind time to absorb easily without stress,

c. Add seven key learning points which were important to you! This
provides "associations" in your mind for the new learning.

2. The NEXT DAY, relax and playback the tape (using ear phones)
while watching some interesting TV show WITHOUT audio e.g. a
football match or other a sports event or a cartoon. Make NO
EFFORT to listen to the tape. In fact, TELL yourself NOT to
listen, but just to relax and gently give all attention to the TV
show. Relax and let your mind absorb the data WITHOUT ANY
CONSCIOUS EFFORT at all.

3. Play this once more.

4. Finally on the FOLLOWING DAY, do IRT (relax), and playback the

tape (with ear phones) while gently viewing and repeating the text
material (hear, see, say and feel).

5. Adapt APS to your special needs and personality. Use it for any
new material that you want to absorb without stress or effort.
And please remember to email feedback and new creative ideas to
our Team at: [email protected]. So ... from now on - relax
and remember!!
