I'm an Englishman who has had the £200 home study course since 1998. I never had any success with it when got it and nobody in the UK could help. Therefore, I dropped it for a year and did my fourth year in university.

Decided to have another go after that year and, again, I had no success what-so-ever. Therefore, I dropped it again and did my Masters year at university. Now, I'm about to start a new job that requires a lot of reading, and what want it to work this time. Can anyone help?

The problems I think I'm having are as follows:
1) unable to concentrate
2) unable to stay in the acc. learning state, as well as not knowing when I'm in it
3) dictionary game has never worked
4) not much time to practice, although Paul seems to say it comes naturally without practice.

My mind is too active which stems from problems I have with insomnia. It takes me around 3-4 hours to get to sleep because it takes that amount of time to shut off the activity. My mind races all the time. I wonder if there is a link?
