THE SECRET OF A PERFECT METHOD

LANGUAGE LEARNING FOUNDATIONS

In this module you will learn…

The secret behind the perfect method…

It’s not about what you do

It’s about why you’re doing it

Passion will take you further and around

Pull you through dark times

Desire to communicate makes you find reason

in what you learn

Without passion study feels like work

purpose that’s going to push you on?

What does the right reason

look like?

“I’m driven by a desire be able to

communicate with people.”

“Their music, literature and art speaks to

me in ways I can’t explain.”

MY EXPERIENCE WITH ARABIC

•   I moved to Qatar, excited to learn Arabic

•   “I’ll learn out of pride”

•   Started strong, learnt the alphabet

•   Everyone spoke a difference dialect of Arabic

•   …and used English everyday

•   I had lost my “why” and gave up

Arabic in two countries

•   I moved to Egypt, excited to learn Arabic again

•   “I want to discover the culture and make friends”

•   Homogenous culture, wonderful people

•   Speaking from day 1 out of necessity

•   Met people, made friends

•   I felt driven like never before
