Hi CM,

In my (admittedly imperfect) understanding, language is just the vehicle used to uncover the inner workings of the mind. I do know that NLP is taught in Europe and while I don't know whether it is taught in Asian countries, I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

As for your question about NLP and ESL, my wife is Japanese and I've used NLP techniques with her quite successfully and during my Practitioner training we had a Philipino woman who was very successful with the techniques.

In short, it seems that it doesn't matter which language is used because all human languages have evolved to convey the same sorts of information and processes.

Good question!

Mike
