It's great news that you are in the UK. Brighton is a place for wandering souls, and it's much friendlier than many places in the UK. I have enjoyed supporting your cause, having completed Spanish a couple of times and Greek a few years ago. I want to do more Spanish but more tutoring in the New Year. All the best for the Season.

It is a shame that such an effective language learning system doesn't have any support from the organizations who have to care about the quality of our education. I listen to your Turkish podcasts and they help me to learn more in an easier way. I wish I could support you farther but......
You can! Just bear in mind this call to action and you will find key moments to make the noise we need - it might be asking a Turkish embassy or even Turkish Airlines why they are not helping Language Transfer with its dissemination of Turkish language and culture, it may be a university programme you encounter sending young Turks abroad with bad English... the more we think about it, the more we'll notice when LT is doing 'someone else's job', and thus there is a space ripe for collaboration. If many LT users do this, opportunities for collaboration should begin to flood in!
Hey Gurbir! That sounds great, and so do feel free to help me get a gig in Manchester! If you can suggest LT to possible hosts for an open public workshops (cultural centres, coworkings etc) then maybe I can come for a visit!
Just as per the article! :) It's not a lot, but if everyone does it, it's loads! And eventually things will have to begin to change... feel free to use your imagination but those whose 'job I'm doing' are: education ministers, universities whose students are getting through their exams with my courses rather than theirs (professors even tell me they play my courses in their classes!), anything from airlines to embassies that have a stated mission to promote Greek/Arabic/French (etc) culture, companies who pretend to be all about inclusion and diversity, the list goes on and on when you think about it! :)
It was a deep and great communication and I would have liked to have seen you mention what languages you are committed to adding as intro courses. Also I am specifically requesting Afrikaans. Thank You!
Hey David! That was purposeful, as I don't want to overwhelm myself or the usership with more promises and lose sight of the overall picture again. That said, I can say that I am likely to continue creating material in what comes easiest to me, so that is a combination of what I already know, what I am motivated for, and what happens serendipitously in life (for example, if I make friends here I speak Arabic with, I'm more likely to create Complete Arabic). If you would like to see a specific course like Afrikaans, then as per the article it's all about finding those organisations that have a vested interest in people learning Afrikaans, and getting them to collaborate, rather than asking me for it :)
Thank you for not giving in to the overwhelming pressure placed on your shoulders. Your efforts are noticed and we see and appreciate you for our growth and success!
Hey, love your work. Based in Switzerland, I will write to some institutions, though maybe you have someone specific in mind where to start? Also the swiss people's English isn't the greatest, so most people I recommend language transfer to can't use it ...buy l do, your voice makes me so at peace :) Used to live in Southwark, so sad to be missing your London era, couldn't you have moved earlier ;)
Hey Daniela! Well that might just be a perfect place to start! English for speakers of all the languages of Switzerland! I don't have anyone specific in mind, I think it's more a case of having some template email you save and send to whoever you can whenever you come across any organisation that you think might be relevant and sooner or later, we gotta get lucky!
Unfortunately, novel ideas are often accepted slowly. Dr. Semmelweis who introduced novel hygienic procedures to medicine was not paid tribute during his life and he was effectively sacked for his theory.
So with about a million followers, you are already doing not bad. But I wish you this number to continue growing!
Thank you Alexander! Although allow me to stress, it's not about being paid tribute as much as it is about being integrated into society and taken advantage of positively. Let's cross our fingers that the learning practices of the Thinking Method will be incorporated and eventually considered as normal as washing your hands before sticking them into a wound! ;)
Well, your fans and subscribers could definitely help by promoting your YouTube channel among their contacts. Personally, I recommend it to everyone I know who is learning Greek.
It seems that you were suffering from over work and self inflicted overload.. Glad to hear your in a better frame of mind to continue. well done..

Thank you for your continued passion and work. Still supporting you!
Wishing you the wind at your back on the fresh chapter beginning. Love from Nicosia.

This is great news! Wishing you the best and hopefully we can work on something together when the time is right.
Thank you for the update.
Pity that this unique, impressive, novel initiative is not getting the traction it clearly deserves.
I would love to record a podcast about you and LT if your UK tour brings you to the north (Manchester).
Hey Gurbir! That sounds great, and so do feel free to help me get a gig in Manchester! If you can suggest LT to possible hosts for an open public workshops (cultural centres, coworkings etc) then maybe I can come for a visit!
Welcome home.
Not sure how I as a user could help get you the resources you want.

have you tried to contact the Goethe Institute?
Yep! Ignored! :/ This is why I need the LT usership to just keep knocking on those doors and eventually, they will have to pay attention!
Very best wishes from Paphos, Cyprus!
