First of all I would like you all to excuse me for my rather poor knowledge of the English language.
I'm sure that my mind stores "somewhere" almost everything I "live". I'm sure that my non-conscious mind speaks a much better English, doesn't forget words, verbs, phone numbes etc.

I couldn't find informations either reading the course presention or searching through the Forum. I'm 47 years old, If I apply the method, will I be able to remember parts of my memory web relevant to when I was 25?
Would MO help me with my English, that is can I apply MO to foreign language study?
Furthermore, which English langage skill is necessary to follow the course?
Finally, Is there any Italian "student" attending this forum that can give me any help?

Waiting to read someone soon I remain

Yes, the course describes techniques for recovering memories from your past. In fact you are encouraged to create a time line of your personal history.

Yes, Memory Optimizer can be used to learn Languages. The ABC list method creates a gret starting point but there are more tips and advice in the course.

Your written skill is fine I don't think you'll have any trouble following the course. It's conversation style presentation and in the process teaches you memory gap management techniques that you can use on the course with a next listening to earn new word and their meaning as you pick them up.

Hello!
Well, my first language is not English and even though most of the people tell me I do pretty wel with it, I found the MO course hard to follow. It has a conversational format and it is very quick.
It doesn't mean that it is worthless and maybe I'm just projecting my own difficulties but be ready to ask for help.
I don't even catch enough yet to be able to know what to ask.
I believe the basic procedures of the course could have been better explained.
If we buy this course is because we want to improve our learning and memory skills. Then it should be more student friendly.
Once we got the basics we can do the rest.
It seems that my IQ is around 138 and I could not understand yet all that course by myself.
Again, even though it is my responsibility to learn, I think this tool was not as well designed as I expected it.
I have several courses form Learning Strategies such as Abundance for Life PhotoReading, 4 Powers of Greatness etc. and the Memory Optimiser has been the toughest.
Sorry if someone feels I'm discouraging you to buy it.
I believe everything in this site is worthy but also that some products could be improved and that sometimes we should buy another kind of product first in order to better prepared to use others.
Thank you.

Ciao franco!
Sorry if I didn't make it clear that it could be just because of my lack of mastery of the English language that I found it hard to follow.
I don't speak in the name of others.
I do it as a costarican 46 y/o in Montreal speaking french every day. (inoltre, la mia lingua รจ le spagnolo)
I'm glad at least we are not talking about an English course.

That course has so much information no one can get it all on one simple listening. When you look at the manual you'll discover a whole lot of tricks that were not even mentioned in the course.


The idea of two people having a coversation is to give you an idea of the differences in the way people associate memories. In other words. Everyones memory web is different. If the course was presented with only one speaker this point would not seen.

With all the information that comes up during the conversations you pick your ideas that you would like to play with.

It's really is a course where listening more than once is recommended and foruntately it's one that works nicely while you are driving for playing with and creating your own Anchorman list.
