    What can I say? I love writing.I love being able to publish my thoughts to a global audience. I love seeing someone buy one of my books.My favorite books so far?I really enjoyed writing the Day God Returned.I liked the twist in the ending. I hope you do as well.And it was satisfying writing The Perfect Society, I am glad I now have my thoughts on this subject down for all to read. Its important we aspire to having a better society.Of course, I have to add that my Eurovision Betting Guide 2011 accurately predicted the $11 to $1 winner using my clever little Eurovision system, not bad picking the winner out of 43 entrants.I hope you like my ebooks.

      THE OLD WAY

      Remember trying to learn a language at school?

      Remember trying to get your head around conjugating verbs? Remember past tense, present tense, present participle, imperfect subjunctive? Yes, that’s right, it was all mind numbing.

      But, when you speak in your native English, do you think about what tense you should use? No, of course you don’t, because you know it by rote.

      When you listen to your friends, family or colleagues speaking, do they speak in perfect grammatical sense all the time? The answer is, no, they don’t.

      Did you ever speak to a person from another country and hear them speaking your language? Was it perfect? No.

      Did you understand them? Yes.

      That’s because language is not about perfect grammar, that is for academics in their ivory towers.

      Language is about communication and if you can speak a language in such a manner that others can understand you, then you have succeeded -regardless of how flawed your grammar might be.

      This ebook is NOT about perfect grammar, it is about teaching you enough words, and enough about the language so that you can put simple sentences together and be understood – regardless of verb tense and whether you have the correct noun gender.

      This ebook is about giving you the confidence to open your mouth in another language and
