You can learn it in a weekend. In my classes they spend about 20 mintues with their own book and are challenged to talk about it for 2 minutes afterwards. Many can talk longer.

I had one person talking for four minutes about what he learned from his book in those 20-minutes in my last weekend seminar. He doubted that PhotoReading was going to work. Since he had difficulty with books in the English language (a second language for him) and then was able to talk for 4 minutes about what he learned from his book. He could have kept going too. That impressed him and his partner.

So it doesn't take long at all. They are all talking about what they learned after spennding 10 to 20-minutes from their book by Sunday of a weekend seminar.
