Hello everyone!
i am brand new here,just finishing the photoreading course in the following days.
i know i will get answers, but i am also interested in answers from experience.
has anyone tried PR for language learning for example?
thank you in advance-B from Hungary

It's no surprise that NASA couldn't make a difference between normal reading and Photoreading, because the effects of Photoreading won't come out for the first time you photoread a book. If you really want to get Photoreading work you'll need to use it a lot, and you'Ll see the real effects of it.

secondly, the NASA didn't even know much about photoreading before designing a experiment, no wonder the % of error is so high in a scientist view, just like trying to make a cake the first time by looking at the picture of the cake ( the cover)..

Yeah, that's true. And we don't even know if they were in photofocus while photoreading the book. Because if they weren't, then no wonder it didn't work. And as I see from the forums most people who don't have photoreading working have problems with photofocus.
And secondly, people who have studied engineering and physics (as I have, I'm an electrical engineer) must know the good old wisdom about experiments: "One experiment is not an experiment."
What makes NASA think,whose applicants are also engineers and physicists (mostly), and believe themselves to be absolutely perfect in physics, that it is not true for photoreading?
And for the other hand, you all know: "Practice makes perfect."
Why would be photoreading the exception from this?

The NASA Report tries to prove that you can't read at 25,000 words per minute. PhotoReading isn't reading at 25,000 words a minute it's PhotoReading at 25,000 plus words a minute. We do teach you how to get your reading done 3 to 10 times faster. It's pretty hard to demonstrate in short passages of 500 words or less. I don't bother PhotoReading a single page I'm asked to read I just use the activation techniques. A short test of 500 words cannot even capture if someone can read 1000 words a minute, Assuming it takes a couple of seconds to get into it.It does for me. I take those seconds to consider my purpose.
