Hi all.

Here's my problem : I work with high-end graphic software and since they're pretty complicated programs, I am sure that photoreading a bunch of manuals and text guides will help a lot. the problem is that english is not my mother tongue, and all the manuals I'm interested in are in english. I understand written english almost perfectly (although sometimes I have some difficulties in writing), but I really don't know how to handle some passages like mind probing or mind mapping. which language I should use for them? and what about the photoreading part? maybe my subconscious will learn less or worse because the text is in a foreign language?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you've learned the language, by perhaps. . .PhotoReading books on the differences between the words: it's highly likely that your inner mind will be able to do it just as well.

However, just like nearly everything we learn:the more we do it, the better we are at it, because neurological pathways are constantly being built and strengthened within the brain during practicing of a subject.

Just a note on that issue.

If you can read the books in English, you can also PR them. Ask yourself mind-probing questions in whatever language you would normally ask yourself such questions, and mindmap in the language you would otherwise mindmap or take notes for yourself. Afterall, you are doing it for you, for your own comprehension, you want to be able to understand your own notes/mindmaps when you come back to them.

Yeah, I thought that. I mean, my subconscious should be smarter than my conscious.

The problem now is the pictures. The books are obviously full of pictures, to show me where to click to find a specific function and so on. I wonder if I can photoread the pictures well.

you see the pictures and diagrams while previewing and super reading. its recommended to stop and look at the diagrams. if they are important, study them when you're done photoreading. maybe you could use it to activate, depending on what kind of pictures they are...

No choice really. If you PR all the pages of the book the pictures will be PRed with the text. Isn't that great?!
