Regarding the ‘how-to’ section of my booklet, Any Language I Like, I’ll begin by describing Schliemann’s original ‘Heinrich Maneuver’. I’ll take that concept and develop it. I’ll expand its basic principle—that you ‘shoehorn in’ another language with your own language’s grammar. I’ll introduce the need for listening so as to powerfully combine skills. I’ll explain that listening maintains the speed that you need so as to elicit meaning from text. And I’ll demonstrate that you need to be a little disoriented so as not to over-analyze. When you balance the left and right brains, you promote acquisition over learning.
