i have been thinking about this issue for quite some time. since NLP is a technology/science which derived from the info gathering process of the brain via language structures, i wonder, will NLP work on non-native english speakers? (English as Second Language/ESL) will it work to a lesser extent? will it not work at all?
has any non-native english speaker on this forum used NLP on his/her ESL friends and gotten satisfying results?

how about NLP in languages other than english? does the pattern still apply to languages that utilizes entirely different structures? japanese for example..

i remember pete responding to a post inquiring about the effects of paraliminals on an ESL speaker. if an individual can understand and enjoy an english movie then paraliminals will work for the person...was the answer i think. does this go for NLP as well?
