It's easy to learn faster than the teacher can teach. Pr the whole book and then pr and superread your chapter every day and during the day do the exercises. Then at night pr your own notes and pr and superread everything you've learned up to where you are now, tell your mind to sort and remember this, then pr and superread what you'll do tomorrow and tell your mind to get this ready for you. All day long talk to yourself in spanish and start thinking in spanish too. The normal way of learning it is in 3 steps- and that is just plain stupid. They say "sugar" then that's "azukar" (or whatever) so you see sugar, say sugar then say the spanish word. Duuuuuh. When we learned English we saw something and just had one word to learn and it worked fine so do it that way. See the sweet powder and think and say "azukar." Don't even say sugar, it will totally screw you up. Also their sentences are backwards- they all talk like YODA. "restless is he" "no patience you have" so if you remember Yoda you'll be able to put the sentences together. I don't know if Pring a Spanish/english dictionary will help, can't hurt but I don't have one. After that it's all pure memory, practice and use. If you don't use it you'll forget it.

There are several ways to use PhotoReading to enhance your learning of any foreign language. Recall that Paul Scheele himself suggested that there were peoplewho have learned a language strictly by PhotoReading. The process is pretty simple.

PhotoRead the cross language dictionary several times. This will act as the base. Your other-than-conscious memory begins to learn the language.

But since any language is a dynamic, verbal experience, you must learn the ins and out of the grammatical construction of sentences as how the language sounds. Paul suggests speaking to people who are fluent in the language you wish to learn; watching news broadcasts in that language; photoreading textbooks dedicated to teaching that language; and then you can photoread books that have been written in that language.

Then you must activate your new language. Don't worry, it will literally be on the tip of your brain. Your mind will be on the verge of that new language. Photoread several times a day and especially before bed and you most probably will notice that you are dreaming some words in that other language.

Then, supplement your pursuit by adding conscious language learning activities. Take a class. Buy those language tapes from the bookstores. Listen to the Language tapes Learning Strategies produces.

Do this for 30-60 days. Enjoy the ride. And see where you are in two months.
Photoreading is a whole mind system for learning anything....foreign language included.
