.this is the course you should have taken when you first
    started learning english
.accurately hearing the sounds of english is one of the
    primary skills you must acquire if you intend to become 
    a fluent speaker of english and an active member of 
    the english-speaking community or get a high score 
    on the TOEFL

.the original and primary linguistic impulse is hearing/
    speaking...   not reading/writing

.first...  listen
.then...   speak
.then...   read and write
.this is the natural order of language acquisition
.this is how you mastered your first language
.this is how you will master english

.however, there is no magic
.it takes 5 to 10 years for a person to master the sounds 
    of their native language
.but, babies are stupid*
.you can do it in 100 to 300 hours of focused work

.once you have learned to hear english properly, you will 
    never again have to struggle with this element of 
    language 
.you will be able to move on to more interesting, 
    challenging aspects of english... confident in your 
    ability to hear english accurately

.this is a new program, still in the development process
.i'm looking for students to test the materials at no charge,
     (for a while, anyway)
.i am available to discuss pre-english and other aspects
     of english as a foreign language every tuesday from 
     8:00 to 9:00 p.m., california time

.please join me on gizmo at:  1222gendo 
.i will try to answer your questions satisfactorily
.you can come and practice your english speaking skills
     at least
