As today is a much needed 'day off' (at least from audio editing) I've begun to catch up with a week or so of emails. Here's some of the messages that have come through with donations in the last week! It occurs to me today that Language Transfer is just one example of how...

democracy's begun to bypass democratic institutions. I've never received government/institutional help and my attempts to collaborate are sneered at. But I haven't had to waste much time asking. Thank you for all your support, and for taking this small thing into your own hands!

Oi @Spotify , I already resent having to police your site for my material being illegal hosted by official distributors. But what's worse is due to whatever 'technical' problems you have, many publishers are not reportable. This problem has existed for years.

Pop quiz! Tell me what ‘used to’, ‘let's’ and ‘I’ve got’ all have in common! (I’m just flexing)

I know the Android app is down, and that it's been down a while, too! The constant and complicated updates needed for apps sometimes feel designed to weed out low-budget independent creators like Language Transfer. So please bear with me! The app volunteer is slowly hacking away at it. Meanwhile, the material is of course still available on YouTube and through the LT website! Please remind your friends of this when recommending LT! :)

Commenting purely on the linguistics of it all... "fedslop" is a brilliant new word!

Every time we say: ‘what do you mean?’, we demonstrate our innate understanding that language and thought are far from being one and the same, even though we may often be unaware of our thoughts until we translate them. ‘Mean’ as a verb is connected to ‘mind’. When we speak, we translate our mind into words. When we say ‘what do you mean?’, what we are saying is ‘what is in your mind?’, and when we ask that, we know the answer isn’t ‘words’ because we just heard those words and remain none the wiser! Really, truly understanding that language and thought (and even meaning) are not one and the same is a true life hack, a new type of freedom. Healthy detachment from language means seeing through the craft of those who know how to use language better than us - especially when it's to insincere ends. It means using language in a different way - to truly communicate rather than to divide and to other, and again - it means seeing through even our own motives when we use it insincerely. It means being less reactive to language, and less spell-bound by its sentences (there's a pun or two in there if you're looking!) . If this seems like interesting work, I recommend beginning it by starting to learn a new language with Language Transfer & The Thinking Method (and without sweating a penny!) Tell your friends!

Estoy listo para practicar mi nuevo material de 'Inglés para Hispanohablantes', un curso realmente innovador y único! El curso 'Ιnglés Completo', una vez grabada, estará disponible 100% gratis, como todo el material de Language Transfer. Mientras tanto, doy clases pagadas para reunir fondos y repasar el material. Si necesitas aprender el inglés muy rápido y estás súper motivado, esto te interesa! Hay cupos muy limitados, entonces van por subasta. Sencillamente es cuestión de enviar la siguiente información: -cuando quisieras empezar -cuantas horas a la semana -y cuanto estarías dispuesto a pagar por hora (sean $50, $100 o $1000 la hora, así se subasta!) Para este mes tengo hasta dos cupos libres, y uno o dos más en diciembre! Asi que esto es una oferta muy limitada, hecha para los que puedan aportar economicamente al proyecto y así contribuir a la educación de todo el mundo hispanohablante! Envíen su subasta, y pronto aviso a los ganadores! Sé que esto es muy exclusivo pero recuerden, Language Transfer no lo es! Recaudar fondos así me ayuda a seguir ofreciendo este material del más alto nivel, 100% gratis! Así que aunque no te alcance para subastar, a compartir con los amigos ricos, eh! info@languagetransfer.org

I'm extremely disappointed by @squarespace which hosts the LT website. There has been a problem for months (apparently) where the 'flat number' section resets (deletes) when entering an address at the checkout. This is of course exclusively for the 'non-shop' sharer material to help people find out about LT. I have asked Squarespace to 1) compensate me with some free subscription time for this considering all the wasted postage and 2) confirm for me how long this problem has actually existed. I've asked that second question 5 times, but they quite literally refuse to answer. Quite infuriating! Upside though - was time for a new website! I'll be leaving Squarespace far in the past, and I recommend no-one ever uses this service, considering it's 'sold as seen' and no responsibility is taken for monumental problems such as this. If you have ordered a packet from the non-shop and haven't received it because of this problem, please do reach out to me.
